SOMEONE ELSE
Embracing Authenticity: Breaking Free from the Shackles of Others' Expectations
Lyrics
And why should it be a shame?
Questioning the reason for feeling ashamed
So let's stop lying to ourselves.
Advocating honesty and self-awareness
People’s eyes are just like snakes
Comparing people's eyes to snakes, suggesting deceit
Choking us ‘til we can’t breathe
Describing the suffocating impact of judgment
We fall down into the trap of loneliness
Falling into the trap of isolation and loneliness
We hide them in the darkness
Hiding emotions or vulnerabilities in the shadows
But all they wanna do, is to shine
Contrasting the desire to shine with the hiding of true selves
Oh, bring them some of your light
Encouraging the expression of inner light
I’ll remain true to my heart
Committing to staying true to one's genuine feelings
No, I’m not lying to myself
Reiterating the commitment to honesty and self-awareness
I’ll always be someone else
Embracing the identity of "someone else"
In people’s eyes, I feel the same
Feeling a commonality with how others perceive
Oh, the coldness of their shame
Expressing the coldness associated with societal judgment
For not being someone else
Acknowledging the pressure to conform to societal expectations
We’re hiding our differences
Concealing individual differences
Throwing our shame on another one
Projecting shame onto others as a defense mechanism
The time has come to change and shine, oh
Calling for a change and the emergence of true selves
I’ll remain true to my heart
Reaffirming the commitment to genuine emotions
No, I’m not lying to myself
Rejecting falsehood and embracing authenticity
I’ll always be someone else.
Embracing the perpetual identity of "someone else"
