Unbecoming
Rediscovering Self: Unraveling the Journey of Transformation
Lyrics
Unbecoming myself
Expressing a process of shedding one's current identity or characteristics.
And I put me back on the highest shelf
Putting oneself away, perhaps distancing from certain aspects, possibly to protect or preserve.
Time will warp what is mine
Time has the ability to distort or change what belongs to the speaker.
My vision, mind and feeble spine
Referring to the alteration of the speaker's perception, thoughts, and vulnerability.
Nostalgic for the me I used to be
Longing for the past version of oneself, emphasizing a sense of loss or change.
Before the world got to me
Reflecting on a time before external influences impacted the speaker.
Oh and if I could see
Expressing a desire to gain insight into the future self.
What I will be
Questioning the emotional state of the future self and the potential for loneliness.
Would I feel so lonely
Wondering if knowing the future would influence the current feeling of isolation.
Listening to the phone
Engaging in activities (like listening to the phone) to avoid interactions.
So I can say nobody's home
Choosing to claim unavailability to avoid social connections.
Used to go out every night
Recalling a past habit of going out frequently in contrast to the current situation.
Now the timing's never right
Expressing the difficulty of finding the right time for activities now.
Nostalgic for the me I used to be
Reiterating a sense of longing for the speaker's previous self.
Before the world got to me
Revisiting the theme of change and impact from external sources.
Oh and if I could see
Continuing the contemplation on seeing the future and its potential emotional toll.
What I will be
Questioning if knowledge of the future would affect the current emotional state.
Would I feel so lonely
Reiterating the feeling of loneliness and its potential connection to the future.
Nostalgic for the me I used to be
Re-emphasizing the desire to revert to a previous self.
Before the world got to me
Stating the impact of external forces on the speaker's current state.
Oh and if I could see
Continuing the reflection on potential loneliness in the future.
What I will be
Questioning the emotional consequences of knowing one's future.
Would I feel so lonely
Addressing the potential for loneliness based on knowledge of the future.
I'm unbecoming me
Affirming the process of shedding one's current identity.
I'm unbecoming me
Repeating the affirmation of the speaker's ongoing transformation.
