I Am
Unveiling Life's Dark Symphony: 'I Am' by Drowning Pool
Lyrics
I've never felt so alive
Experiencing a heightened sense of vitality and energy.
I've never had to run and hide
Never had to flee or conceal oneself due to fear or danger.
The things I want I cannot have
Desire for certain things that are unattainable.
The things I need are all so bad
Basic necessities are harmful or detrimental.
What you say
Indicates a pause or a break in the lyrics.
I could've been
Reflecting on missed opportunities or potential paths not taken.
I am
Asserting one's current identity or state.
You could've been
Speculating on someone else's potential alternate reality.
You are
Contrasting someone's potential with their actual state.
My best excuse is that I'm drained
Explaining that fatigue or exhaustion is a primary excuse.
From everything that keeps me sane

My sickness keeps me in control

From everything you'll never know

Does is make you happy
Questioning the effect of actions on someone's happiness.
Does it make you mad
Asking about potential negative emotions caused by actions.
Why am I still laughing
Confusion about still finding amusement despite circumstances.
Look at what you had
Suggesting a comparison between past and present situations.
Does it make you feel good
Querying the emotional impact of actions on someone.
Does it make you sick
Asking if actions evoke negative physical responses.
That you knew that I would
Suggesting foreknowledge of a particular outcome.
Be the one to trip
Implies being the cause of someone's downfall or mistake.
No control
