I Was Me
Rediscovering Identity: "I Was Me" Meaning Explained
Lyrics
It's just another day
Expressing the monotony of another ordinary day
It's just another year
Reflecting on the passage of another unremarkable year
"One step at a time", they say
Encouraging the idea of taking things one step at a time
"One trip, and you're back that way"
Warning about the consequences of a single wrong decision
I don't recognize these eyes
Feeling a sense of unfamiliarity in one's own eyes
I don't recognize these hands
Sensing a disconnection with one's own hands
Please believe me when I tell you
Urging others to trust the speaker's sincerity
That this is not who I am
Asserting that the current state does not represent the true self
If I recover, will you take me back again?
Pleading for acceptance if the speaker overcomes challenges
I'm just another, trying hard to fit right in
Describing the speaker's struggle to belong and fit in
But my photographs remind me of who I used to be
Photographs serve as a reminder of the speaker's past identity
If only I could go back when I, I was me
Expressing a desire to return to the former self
I'll try hard to make this ride
Committing to putting effort into the journey
I'll try hard to win this fight
Determined to win the internal struggle
"One step at a time", they say
Reiterating the advice to take things step by step
"One trip, and you're back that way"
Warning about the potential for regression with a single misstep
I don't recognize these eyes
Feeling a lack of recognition in one's own eyes
I don't recognize these hands
Experiencing a sense of alienation from one's own hands
Please believe me when I tell you
Reassuring others about the disparity between appearance and true identity
That this is not who I am
Emphasizing that the current state is not the genuine self
If I recover, will you take me back again?
Pleading for acceptance in case of recovery
I'm just another, trying hard to fit right in
Expressing the struggle to conform and be accepted
But my photographs remind me of who I used to be
Reflecting on how memories encapsulate the past identity
If only I could go back when I, I was me
Yearning to return to the former self
Give me strength to fight
Requesting strength to face challenges
Help me feel alive again
Seeking a revival of a sense of being alive
Make me whole inside
Asking to be made emotionally whole again
Instead, this hole inside is killing me
Describing the emotional void that is causing pain
And I'm begging you
Pleading for assistance and understanding
If I recover, will you take me back again?
Reiterating the plea for acceptance in the event of recovery
I'm just another, trying hard to fit right in
Expressing the ongoing struggle to belong and be accepted
But my photographs remind me of who I used to be
Revisiting the impact of photographs on self-identity
If only I could go back when I, I was me
Expressing a longing to return to the past self
