Uniform
Yearning for Identity: Embracing Love and Legacy in 'Uniform'
Lyrics
When I'm around you
Expressing the feelings experienced in the presence of someone
I can feel so many things go through my head
Experiencing a multitude of thoughts or emotions
I want to be just like my stepdad
Desire to emulate or resemble the speaker's stepfather
I want to be as cool as him
Desire to attain a similar level of perceived coolness as the stepfather
But then the only thing that I can ever really find is me
Struggling to find oneself amidst these desires and influences
I hope you like it
Expressing hope that the other person will accept the speaker as they are
I always touch your hair like I wish it was mine
Expressing a longing to possess or have characteristics similar to the person being addressed
But then you feel my head, you say this way looks fine
Receiving validation or approval for one's appearance from the addressed person
I think that there are many things that I still haven't tried
Feeling that there are still numerous experiences yet to be explored
I love you
Declaration of love towards the addressed person
Can I be your man?
Repeatedly asking for acceptance or validation as a romantic partner
Can I be your man?
-Can I be your man?
-Can I be your man?
-My grandfather left me his uniform from World War II
Receiving a World War II uniform from the speaker's grandfather
I wished one day that it would fit me and my wish came true
Having a wish fulfilled as the uniform fits the speaker
Now I keep it in the basement beside my old cartoons
Keeping the uniform alongside childhood cartoons in the basement
I love you
Declaration of love towards the addressed person (repeated)
Can I be your man?
Repeatedly asking for acceptance or validation as a romantic partner (repeated)
Can I be your man?
-Can I be your man?
-Can I be your man?
