be yourself
Embrace Your True Self: A Anthem of Unconditional Love by Charity Eden
Lyrics
Have a seat at the table
Invitation to join and participate in a supportive environment
You can come as you are
Embrace yourself without any need for alteration
No need for pretending
There's no requirement to pretend or put on a facade
Check your mask at the door
Leave behind any false identity or pretense
I know you've been hiding
Acknowledgment that one has been concealing imperfections or struggles
Your failures and flaws
Recognition of personal failures and imperfections
But it's not what I see
Despite flaws, the speaker sees beyond them
when you come to me
When approached authentically, the true self is seen
I want you to…
Desire or encouragement for authentic expression
Be yourself
Encouragement to embrace one's genuine self
A safe place to be yourself
Assurance of safety in being true to oneself
There's no competition
Emphasis on absence of rivalry or comparison
You already have my heart
Expressing unconditional love and commitment
You're worth my affection
Recognition of intrinsic worth and value
My own work of art
Viewing the person as a unique masterpiece
My love has no conditions
Love is not dependent on specific conditions or actions
No matter what you've done
Acceptance regardless of past actions or mistakes
It's not what I see
Similar to line 7, seeing beyond flaws or errors
when you come to me
Encouragement for genuine interaction
I want you to…
Reiteration of the encouragement to be authentic
Be yourself
Reaffirmation of safety in being oneself
It's a safe space to be yourself
Emphasizing the security in embracing true identity
You don't have to put up a front
No need to pretend or hide behind a false persona
'Cause who you are is enough
Confirmation that one's genuine self is sufficient
You can be yourself
Encouragement to embrace authenticity again
(It's okay to not be okay)
Repeated assurance that it's acceptable not to feel okay
(It's okay to not be okay)
-It's okay to not be okay
-Know that my love for you will never change
Confirmation of consistent, unwavering love
It's okay to not be okay
Reiterated reassurance that not feeling okay won't change the love received
But I love you enough to not leave you that way
-It's okay to not be okay
-Know that my love for you will never change
-It's okay to not be okay
Reiteration of acceptance amidst struggles
You can be yourself
Encouragement to be true to oneself, repeating the safe environment
A safe place to be yourself
Reiteration of safety in embracing authenticity
You don't have to put up a front
Emphasis on not needing a false front or facade
Who you are is enough
Emphasizing the sufficiency of one's true identity
You can be yourself
Encouragement to be genuine once again
Just be yourself
Reiteration of the importance of authenticity
It's a safe space to be yourself
Reaffirmation of a secure space for authenticity
You don't have to put up a front
Emphasis on the absence of necessity for a false persona
Who you are is enough
Reaffirmation that one's true self is sufficient
You can be yourself
Encouragement to embrace authenticity once more
It's okay to not be okay
Repeated assurance that it's okay not to feel okay, love remains unchanged
Know that my love for you will never change
-It's okay to not be okay
-But I love you enough to not leave you that way
-I love you enough to not leave you that way
Reiteration of loving support to help navigate difficult times
