Have I Lost Myself
Discovering Identity: Ariel Carreño's Reflections in 'Have I Lost Myself'
Lyrics
I feel stupid and unkind
I feel foolish and unkind
Always trying to remind
Constantly attempting to remember
Don't lose yourself
Advice to oneself: don't lose your true identity
Don't lose yourself
Reiteration of the importance not to lose oneself
I will try and push away
I will make an effort to distance myself
I only know the things I cannot say
My knowledge is limited to the things I can't express verbally
I will lose myself I will lose myself
Expressing the fear of losing one's identity
Ooh who can I be can I be can I be
Pondering the question of who one can become
Ooh will I ever truly ever truly truly be me
Doubting if one will ever truly be oneself
Can I ever be myself
Questioning the possibility of being authentic
If I'm in love with someone else
Wondering if being in love with someone else affects self-identity
Falling back into this cycle
Falling back into a repetitive pattern or cycle
Try to deny I'm a disciple
Attempting to deny being a follower or disciple of something
I won't lose myself
Commitment not to lose one's true self
I won't lose myself
Reaffirmation of the determination not to lose oneself
Ignore the warning signs around
Intentionally ignoring warning signs around
I drive myself into the sound
Driving oneself into a particular sound or experience
Have I lost myself
Questioning whether one has lost their true self
I have lost myself
Acknowledging the feeling of having lost oneself
Mesmerized by the night
Enchanted or captivated by the night
Craving that eternal light
Desiring an eternal light or enduring positivity
Ooh I want to run
Expressing the desire to escape or flee
Ooh show me what I have become
Requesting insight into what one has become
