Lyrics
Anywhere I go, anything I try
Feeling limited in achieving success or fulfillment regardless of efforts.
Anyone I love is compromised
The people the singer cares about are affected or harmed.
Everyone I see, staring on back at me
Sense of being constantly observed or judged by others.
Why can't you let me be
Feeling of being unable to find freedom or peace.
Oh, so far from home being shallow and alone
Emotional distance and loneliness experienced away from familiar surroundings.
And why can't you see its tearing away what I used to be
Feeling unacknowledged while undergoing significant internal turmoil.
I'm a shadow of a soul
Feeling like a diminished or incomplete version of oneself.
I don't know how to run, I don't know where to hide.
Feeling lost and without direction or a place to seek refuge.
The old me is dead and gone inside
The previous self or identity has been lost or is no longer present.
What will you think of me, when all that you'll ever see
Concern about others' perception when only a fraction of the true self is visible.
Is only a part of the other me.
Recognition that what others see is not the complete self.
Oh, so far from home being shallow and alone
Continued emotional isolation and distance from a familiar sense of belonging.
And why can't you see its tearing away what I used to be
Unseen inner struggles causing a significant deviation from the past self.
I'm a shadow of a soul
Feeling like a faint or diminished version of one's true self.
Oh, I'm so far from home being shallow and alone
Reiteration of emotional distance and loneliness away from home.
And why can't you see its tearing away what I used to be
Struggles that are gradually eroding the singer's former identity.
I'm a shadow of a soul
Feeling like a mere semblance of the true self.
