See Yourself
Discovering Self: Aroe Phoenix's Reflection on Addiction, Love, and Destiny
Lyrics
Contemplating leaving my addictions
Contemplating the possibility of overcoming personal addictions.
But they help me out so i'm conflicted
Conflicted feelings about giving up addictions that seem to provide assistance.
I keep on asking God for him to fix them
Seeking divine intervention, asking God to address and resolve the addictions.
But he gave me all the tools, I ain't a victim
Acknowledging having the necessary tools to overcome challenges and not being a victim.
I'm drowning deep
Feeling overwhelmed or submerged in difficulties.
Feel it all on my shoulders
Bearing the weight of responsibilities and challenges on one's shoulders.
My self-esteem under war when i'm sober
Experiencing a decline in self-esteem when not under the influence of substances.
We ask for help when it's already over
Seeking help only when the situation is already beyond repair.
Then wonder why we have no closure
Reflecting on the lack of resolution and closure in certain situations.
But when you see yourself
Prompting self-reflection when looking in the mirror or assessing one's identity.
Do you like what you see?
Questioning personal satisfaction and acceptance when viewing oneself.
Yeah when you see yourself
Repeating the query about self-perception and identity.
Are you a mental slave, a king or a queen
Questioning whether one is enslaved by mental struggles or stands as a powerful figure.
And do you love yourself?
Asking about self-love and appreciation for the life being lived.
And the very life that you lead?
Reiterating the importance of self-perception in the life one leads.
Yeah when you see yourself
Revisiting the theme of self-perception and questioning the emotions felt.
Do you feel love, pain, hatred or grief?
Asking if one experiences love, pain, hatred, or grief in self-reflection.
Sometimes you'll catch yourself
Admitting moments of darkness and adversity in life.
On the dark side and in the moments in
Reflecting on challenging moments that deviate from the expected path.
Your life that just don't go right
Addressing difficulties and setbacks that don't align with personal goals.
When they demoralize and crucify
Describing the experience of being criticized and having dreams attacked.
Every thing and dream that's
Expressing the vulnerability of dreams that give life meaning.
Keeping you alive, they don't know you
Highlighting the misunderstanding of the true self by external forces.
But they hate you, you're so consumed
Acknowledging external hatred despite not being truly understood.
With everything around you, blinded
Being overwhelmed by external influences and opinions.
By fools, but who the hell are you?
Questioning one's identity and worth in the face of external judgments.
So when you see yourself
Repeating the theme of self-reflection and questioning satisfaction with one's identity.
Oh do you like what you see?
Asking again about contentment and liking what is seen in self-reflection.
Oh, when you see yourself
Reiterating the query on self-perception and identity satisfaction.
Are you a mental slave, a king or a queen?
Repeating the inquiry about mental bondage or regal self-identity.
And do you love yourself
Questioning self-love and appreciation for the life being led.
And the very life that you lead?
Revisiting the importance of self-perception in the life one leads.
Oh when you see yourself
Reiterating the theme of self-reflection and questioning the emotions felt.
Do you feel love, do you feel pain, or the grief?
Asking if one experiences love, pain, or grief in self-reflection.
Do you feel your grief?
Prompting reflection on the experience of grief.
Or do you have sympathy?
Asking whether there is empathy for oneself.
Do you fear your destiny?
Pondering the fear associated with one's destiny.
Yeah do your feel grief?
Repeating the inquiry about feeling grief in self-reflection.
Or do you fear your destiny
Addressing the fear associated with one's destiny.
Are you worried bout' your
Expressing concern about one's destiny and its impact.
Destiny, your destiny
Repeating the theme of worry and contemplation regarding one's destiny.
