Lyrics
Woke up in the morning thinking I felt great
Expressing a positive start to the day
Looked into the mirror and I felt a change
Noticing a change in oneself when looking in the mirror
Reflections of a stranger with a mask of my face
Seeing a stranger in the reflection wearing a metaphorical mask
First a smile, then a vacant daze
Initial expression of happiness followed by a vacant, emotionless gaze
I wanna see my face I wanna know my name
Desire to understand one's identity and face
I want to know how it feels to lose the fucking pain
Expressing a longing to experience relief from emotional pain
Back and forth in repeat on this mood swing I stay
Describing a recurring mood swing
I just want to be back in my better days
Wishing to return to better days
If I could be anybody that I wanted to
Expressing a desire for personal transformation
Be my fuckin' self put the mask on the shelf
Emphasizing the need to be authentic and discard the metaphorical mask
Put the Mask on the shelf
-Put the mask on the shelf
-On the shelf
-On the shelf
-Put the mask on the shelf
-If I could be anybody that I wanted to
Reiterating the desire to be oneself without the mask
Be my fuckin self put the mask on the shelf
-If I could be anybody that I wanted to
-Be my fuckin' self put the mask on the shelf
-Hate when mothafuckin' thoughts aint clear
Expressing hatred for unclear thoughts, tears, and internal turmoil
Hate all the mothafuckin' droppin' tears
-Hate when a mothafuckin' swing is near
-Hate the brain when it's switching gears
-Mask like a mothafucka, this I fear
Feeling fear due to the presence of the metaphorical mask
Day to day, can't predict who I am
Describing a daily struggle with self-identity and feeling like a fraud
Night to night, feel like I'm a scam
-Maybe they know just who I am
-Hate when the swings come back again
Expressing dislike for mood swings, peace being temporary, and recurring negative thoughts
cnd I hate when I only feel peace at a glance
-cnd I hate when I hear them again and again
-The same fucking voices, like a chant
-cnd I hate when the void tries to expand
-cnd I'm still fighting off these thoughts and plans
-cnd I'm still trying to give myself a chance
-One day I might figure out who I am
-Woke up in the morning thinking I felt great
Repetition of the earlier verses, highlighting the persistence of internal struggles
Looked into the mirror and I felt a change
-Reflections of a stranger with a mask of my face
-First a smile, then a vacant daze
-I wanna see my face I wanna know my name
-I want to know how it feels to lose the fucking pain
-Back and forth in repeat on this mood swing I stay
-I just want to be back in my better days
-If I could be anybody that I wanted to
Continuing the theme of desiring authenticity and discarding the metaphorical mask
Be my fuckin' self put the mask on the shelf
-If I could be anybody that I wanted to
-Be my fuckin' self put the mask on the shelf
-If I could be anybody that I wanted to
Reiterating the desire for personal transformation and authenticity
