When Nobody's Watching
Unveiling the Hidden Self: When Masks Fall
Lyrics
Project your problems onto me
Feeling burdened by others projecting their problems onto me.
Tell you it'll be all be fine
Assuring someone that everything will eventually be okay.
Promise I'll be your therapy
Promising to act as a form of therapy or support for someone.
Use up all my empathy
Using up all personal capacity for understanding and compassion.
Take all my energy
Having one's energy drained by others.
Guess I'm just a good guy
Self-identification as a good person.
They say that we can't live unless we live a lie
Recognition of societal pressure to conform to falsehoods.
I want to see myself but see it through your eyes
Desiring to perceive oneself through another's perspective.
Blurry world drowning in my own cries
Feeling overwhelmed by personal emotional distress.
Who am I when nobody's watching, nobody's watching?
Questioning self-identity when not under observation or scrutiny.
Who am I when nobody's watching, nobody's watching?
Reiteration of questioning personal identity in private moments.
Am I the same? Going insane
Concern about potential mental instability in solitude.
You're only going to see what you want to
Noticing that others tend to perceive only what they want to see.
Even if I share both sides
Even with full disclosure, finding it challenging for others to understand.
Something's gotta get through
Acknowledging the difficulty of communication and understanding.
And I hate to break it to you
Disappointing revelation about personal changes not recognized by others.
I'm not the person you knew
Realization that one is not perceived the same way by others anymore.
Guess I had to compromise
Having to make concessions or sacrifices.
I'm not the type of person you should idolize
Advising against idolizing oneself due to inherent imperfections.
I want to see myself but see it through your eyes
Desire to understand one's self-perception from another's viewpoint.
Blurry world drowning in my own cries
Struggling in a confused and emotionally distressed state.
Who am I when nobody's watching, nobody's watching?
Continued pondering of self-identity in private moments.
Who am I when nobody's watching, nobody's watching?
Reiteration of questioning personal identity when not observed.
Am I the same? Going insane
Questioning stability and consistency of personal identity.
Am I the same? Going insane
Repetition emphasizing doubts about personal stability.
Think I switch up when you put your eyes on me
Perceiving changes in behavior when under scrutiny.
Punching bag, you know there is no symmetry
Being a target for emotional outbursts without reciprocation.
I'm here to fulfil your fantasy
Acknowledgment of fulfilling someone else's idealized version.
