Lyrics
What goes on in your head
Reflecting on the thoughts and inner workings of the mind.
Pause replay it slow
Encouraging a careful and deliberate examination or reflection, possibly on past events.
You see who she's become
Observing a transformation in someone's identity or character.
Holding a sister soul
Embracing a connection with a kindred spirit or someone with a similar essence.
Live my life in the light
Choosing to lead a life marked by transparency and openness.
To prove to you who I am
Expressing a desire to demonstrate one's true self to others.
But now I know I can't
Realizing limitations in proving one's identity to others.
The water that I breathe
Highlighting challenges in accepting essential aspects of life.
Doesn't go down easy
Suggesting difficulty in accepting fundamental truths or realities.
The skin and bone I keep
Referring to the physical and emotional core that is difficult to part with.
Fit too good to leave
Emphasizing the comfort and compatibility of one's own body and soul.
Don't you try and sway my mind
Resisting external attempts to influence thoughts or decisions.
You're too close to see me
Noting a close proximity that doesn't necessarily lead to understanding.
And way too far to reach
Expressing a considerable emotional distance despite physical closeness.
You think you're right
Addressing an assertion of being correct or justified.
And tell me I'm just like her
Being compared to someone else and criticized for perceived similarities.
But I know myself better
Claiming a deeper understanding of oneself than others may have.
Here, I stand on my own
Asserting independence and self-determination.
This life is mine to live
Affirming ownership and control over one's own life.
You can't tell me who I am
Rejecting external attempts to define or dictate personal identity.
Sleepless nights I spent
Recalling sleepless nights spent in internal conflict or uncertainty.
Misleading my own fate
Acknowledging a history of being misled or misguided by one's own decisions.
Dreams I had inside
Referencing unrealized dreams that were disrupted or interfered with.
You came to violate
Describing an intrusion or violation by an external force.
Try, open your eyes
Encouraging someone to open their eyes and perceive the truth.
But you don't see a thing
Noticing a lack of understanding or awareness in someone else.
Call me by her name
Rejecting an association with a particular identity imposed by others.
I'm over listening
Choosing not to listen to external judgments or comparisons.
You think you're right
Reiterating the theme of being judged and compared unfavorably.
And tell me I'm just like her
Defending one's understanding of oneself against external opinions.
But I know myself better
Affirming a self-awareness that surpasses external perceptions.
Here, I stand on my own
Reaffirming independence and self-ownership.
This life is mine to live
Declaring the autonomy to live life according to one's own terms.
You can't tell me who I am
Rejecting external attempts to define or dictate personal identity (reiteration).
