Me Here
Embracing Freedom: Confronting Demons and Owning Mistakes in 'Me Here'
Lyrics
I just wanna rest my head
Desire to find peace and relaxation
But climbing into bed
Entering a challenging situation
Is climbing smack dab in the middle of the lion's den
Facing a difficult or dangerous circumstance
It's fine, but freedom is a lie
Freedom isn't easily attained
This demon's gotta die
A personal struggle or inner conflict
Before I let myself dance wild in the night
Not allowing oneself to fully express
Nothing left
Feeling emotionally depleted or empty
Hold my breath
Tense anticipation or anxiety
The ocean floor
Symbolic reference to feeling deep emotions
Too dark to see fear
Being in a state of uncertainty
I'm me here
Embracing oneself despite challenges
Nothing left
Reiteration of self-acceptance and assertion
Hold my breath
-The ocean floor
-Too dark to see fear
-I'm me here
-I'm me here
Continued assertion of identity
I'm me here
-I'm me here
-I'm me here
-My weapon of choice
Personal strength or coping mechanism
My shaky little voice
Expression of vulnerability
It's my own echo chamber quieting the noise
Personal introspection and silencing external influences
Awake (I'm awake, I'm awake)
Being fully awake and aware
With no drugs left to take
Exhausted or depleted resources
I'm owning my mistakes and choosing to start over any other day
Accepting responsibility and choosing a new beginning
Nothing left
Reaffirmation of self despite challenges
Hold my breath
-The ocean floor
-Too dark to see fear
-I'm me here
-Nothing left
Continued assertion of identity and self-ownership
Hold my breath
-The ocean floor
-Too dark to see fear
-I'm me here
-I'm me here
-I'm me here
-I'm me here
-I'm me here
Firm affirmation of self amidst adversity
