Still Standing is the latest single by Endwayz, a metal project fueled by raw emotion, existential depth, and sonic intensity. Crafted entirely by Poria Maftoon — who wrote, performed, and produced the track — this single marks a powerful moment in the band's evolution.
From start to finish, Still Standing delivers crushing riffs, relentless rhythms, and soul-tearing vocals. It's not just a song — it's a declaration of endurance, a cry from within the chaos of modern existence.
The lyrics of Still Standing delve deep into the experience of personal survival in a fractured world. It's about resisting collapse — internal and external — and finding meaning in the very act of staying alive. Through metaphor, introspection, and emotional defiance, the song invites listeners to confront their own battles and emerge stronger.
Maftoon’s writing blends elements of philosophical nihilism, existential struggle, and stoic resistance, making the song resonate far beyond its sonic impact. This is metal with a mind — and a purpose.
If you’ve ever stood in the face of hopelessness and kept going, this song is your anthem.
For fans of bands like Gojira, Lamb of God, or Tool — Still Standing offers that same intensity with a uniquely personal voice.
The track captures a moment of clarity in chaos — a reminder that even in the darkest times, we endure.
🔥 "Still Standing" is not just a song. It's proof that you're still here. That we're still here.
You can stream Still Standing on all digital platforms. Add it to your playlist, share it with your friends, and dive into the world of Endwayz.
Endwayz - Still Standing
Sweat drippin’, vision blurry, bell rings again,
Fifth round’s gone, now the real fight begins.
Arms feel heavy, chest on fire,
But I ain't backin’ down, I'm risin’ higher.
Pain’s my teacher, every scar a brand,
Turnin’ every hit into part of my plan.
Crowd goin’ crazy, echoes in my brain,
Blood in my mouth but I love this pain.
Adrenaline surgin’, mind locked tight,
I'm built for the war, not just the fight!
Every breath a battle, every move a test,
I walk through hell just to prove I'm the best!
You wanna see me fall?! (HELL NO!)
You wanna see me break?! (HELL NO!)
I'm still standin’, still swingin’!
I was born for the killin’!
Takin’ every punch, but I’m still alive,
Ain't no grave gonna bury my drive!
Round six, round seven, I'm still here!
Swingin’ through the fire, drownin’ out the fear!
Round eight, round nine, I don’t quit!
I ain't goin’ down, I'm built for this!
Bones may break, but my will won’t die!
Even if I fall, I rise and fly!
Clock tickin’ slow, every second like a year,
He throwin’ body shots, but I show no fear.
Muscles screamin’, lungs burn tight,
Every punch I throw got my soul inside!
Mind’s a machine, runnin’ cold and raw,
Ain’t no doubt, I obey no law!
He thinks I'm done? He thinks I'm weak?
Come and test my heart, I'm a different breed!
Mind over body, I control the storm,
This ain't a fight—it's a war reborn!
I bleed for the crown, I fight to survive,
Through the darkest rounds, I’m keepin’ alive!
You wanna see me fall?! (HELL NO!)
You wanna see me break?! (HELL NO!)
I'm still standin’, still swingin’!
I was born for the killin’!
Through the pain, through the sweat, through the fire I run,
A warrior’s soul, my battle ain’t done!
Round six, round seven, I'm still here!
Swingin’ through the fire, drownin’ out the fear!
Round eight, round nine, I don’t quit!
I ain't goin’ down, I'm built for this!
Knuckles cracked, heart beatin’ strong!
This is my fight, where I belong!
Gloves up! (HIT ME!)
Eyes locked! (WATCH ME!)
Last round! (BRING IT!)
One more shot—I END THIS!
Body’s torn, but my soul stands tall,
One final hit and I make you fall!
Round ten, final bell, still breathin’!
Left hook, right cross—no leavin’!
