I Got Myself
Finding Freedom: Demetrius X's Journey of Self-Discovery in 'I Got Myself'
Lyrics
I fell so deep I wasn't wise
I experienced a deep emotional fall, lacking wisdom.
I let you in I didn't wait the signs
I allowed someone into my life without heeding warning signs.
Oh for a second it felt right
For a brief moment, it felt right.
But maybe there ain't nobody
Perhaps there isn't anyone truly comparable to you.
That could really be like you
Suggesting uniqueness or exceptional qualities in the person.
Tonight I'm moving like I never knew you
Tonight, I'm behaving as if I never knew you.
Cause in a second I forget everything we went through
In a moment, I can forget everything we went through.
Tonight I'm dancing like I never heard you
Tonight, I'm dancing as if I never heard you.
Cause I don't need nothing as long as I am with my crew
I don't need anything as long as I'm with my friends.
And I
Continuation of the thought from the previous line.
I wish you well hope that you can tell
Wishing well for the person, expressing goodwill.
And I
Continuation of the thought from the previous line.
I got myself yeah I got myself yeah I got myself
I am self-sufficient, emphasizing independence.
I fell so deep I wasn't wise
Repetition of the first line, emphasizing the emotional fall.
I let you in I didn't wait the signs
Repetition of the second line, emphasizing ignoring signs.
Oh for a second it felt right
Reiteration of the brief moment when it felt right.
But maybe there ain't nobody
Repetition of the idea that finding someone like you is challenging.
That could really be like you
Rephrasing uniqueness or exceptional qualities in the person.
Tonight I'm moving like I never knew you
Repetition of behaving as if the person is a stranger.
Cause in a second I forget everything we went through
Repetition of the idea that memories can be forgotten instantly.
Tonight I'm dancing like I never heard you
Repetition of dancing as if the words were never heard.
Cause I don't need nothing as long as I am with my crew
Reiteration of not needing anything when with friends.
And I
Continuation of the thought from the previous line.
I wish you well hope that you can tell
Repetition of expressing good wishes for the person.
And I
Continuation of the thought from the previous line.
I got myself yeah I got myself yeah I got myself
Emphasizing self-reliance and independence.
Yeah I got myself
Reaffirming self-sufficiency.
Yeah I got myself
Repetition for emphasis on self-sufficiency.
