Who I Am
Discovering Identity: Embracing Redemption in Gage Lance's 'Who I Am'
Lyrics
I've grown tired of feeling alone
Expressing fatigue and loneliness.
Feeling never at home
Feeling a lack of belonging or comfort in one's surroundings.
Feeling nothing at all
Describing a sense of emotional numbness or emptiness.
When did I get so far away
Reflecting on a feeling of being distant from oneself.
Am I losing my faith
Questioning a potential loss of faith or belief.
I have nothing to say
Conveying a lack of words or expression.
Ooo
Indicating a vocalization, perhaps representing inner turmoil.
I don't who I am
Expressing a lack of self-awareness or identity.
I wanna know who I am
Desire to discover and understand one's true self.
Somewhere when it all went wrong
Acknowledging a point in life where things went astray.
I stopped singing my song
Noticing a cessation of personal expression.
Every melody gone
Loss of musical creativity or inspiration.
Why do I pick up the pieces
Raising questions about the process of picking up the pieces of one's life.
Full of pain and secrets
Admitting to a burden of pain and concealed truths.
It's better for me if I leave them
Considering leaving behind the pain and secrets for personal well-being.
Ooo
Reiteration of a lack of self-awareness or identity.
I don't who I am
Repeating the desire to understand oneself.
I wanna know who I am
Reiteration of the quest for self-discovery.
Ooo
Reiteration of a lack of self-awareness or identity.
I don't who I am
Repeating the desire to know oneself.
I wanna know who I am
Reiteration of the quest for self-discovery.
But you know who I am
Acknowledgment of someone else being aware of the speaker's identity.
And you said I'm more than
Recognition of being more than one's mistakes and shame.
All of my shame and past mistakes
Acknowledgment of past mistakes and a sense of shame.
You said I'm clean free forgiven
Assurance of being clean, free, and forgiven despite past errors.
No longer have to question
Emphasizing a resolution to no longer question one's identity.
Who I am
Declaration of finding clarity about one's true self.
Who I am
Repetition of the declaration of self-awareness.
Ooo
Reiteration of inner turmoil, possibly addressed to a higher power.
You're the great I am
Acknowledgment of a higher power or deity as the "Great I Am."
And you know who I am
Acknowledgment of being known by the higher power.
Ooo
Reiteration of the acknowledgment of the higher power.
Now I know who I am
Confident assertion of knowing one's true self.
'Cuz you said who I am
Final affirmation of identity based on external validation.
