Whole
Embracing Wholeness: Breaking Free from Guilt and Conformity
Lyrics
I don't want to feel guilty anymore
I want to overcome the feeling of guilt.
I want the weight of the world off of my shoulders
I desire to be free from the burdens and responsibilities.
Your words are heavy spoken
Your words carry a significant emotional weight.
I may be young
Despite being young, I am emotionally intact.
But I am not broken inside
Emphasizing emotional strength, asserting not being broken inside.
I am not broken
Reiteration of not being broken, emphasizing emotional resilience.
I'm not broken
-I'm not broken
-I'm not broken
-I don't want to go to your human zoo
I refuse to conform to societal expectations or constraints.
And find myself locked in a cage
Rejecting the idea of being confined or limited by others.
I am done asking for forgiveness
No longer seeking forgiveness for actions not committed.
For things that I didn't do
Refusing to apologize for one's identity.
Or for who I am
Rejecting apologies for who the person is.
Cause I am not broken
Asserting the lack of brokenness despite external judgments.
I'm not broken
-I'm not broken
-I'm not broken
-But if I wanted to grow up to be you
Considering the idea of growing up to be someone else.
I'd take my heart off the ride
If emulating someone else, removing personal emotions.
If I wanted to grow up to be you
Sacrificing personal dreams to become someone else.
I'd set all my dreams aside
-Bury my words and my mind
Expressing a desire to conform to societal norms and expectations.
Lie with the people and die
-Who would've thought I was whole
Contradictory lines questioning the perception of personal completeness.
Who would've thought I was whole
-But if I wanted to grow up to be you
Repetition of sacrificing personal emotions to become someone else.
I'd take my heart off the ride
-If I wanted to grow up to be you
Reiteration of setting aside personal dreams to emulate another.
I'd set all my dreams aside
-I'd set all my dreams aside
Continued emphasis on sacrificing personal aspirations.
I'd set all my dreams aside
-I am not broken
Reaffirming personal completeness and resilience.
Though you may say
Despite external opinions, the person is not broken.
Or try to fix me anyway
Rejecting attempts to 'fix' or change the person.
