Finding Me
Rising from Ashes: Discovering Strength in 'Finding Me' by Kaige Bertasso
Lyrics
Starting off wrong
Feeling a sense of starting off on the wrong foot.
We don't get along
Experiencing a lack of harmony or agreement in the relationship.
When I was with you
Reflecting on a past time spent with someone.
Hell, felt like my home
Describing the relationship as emotionally challenging and distressing.
Began to believe
Starting to believe the words spoken by the other person.
What you said to me
Accepting and internalizing the messages conveyed by the partner.
In pieces and broken
Feeling emotionally shattered and fragmented.
Is how you left me
Describing the aftermath of the relationship as leaving in pieces.
You used and abused me
Expressing being used and mistreated by the partner.
You tried to reduce me
Highlighting attempts to diminish and limit one's identity.
To somebody I'd never be
Resisting becoming someone unfamiliar due to the partner's influence.
But I tell myself
Maintaining a self-affirming mindset.
That this is gonn' pass
Believing that the difficult situation will eventually pass.
The pain that I'm feeling
Acknowledging and expressing the pain being felt.
Just ain't gonna last
Asserting that the pain is temporary.
And now I outgrew you
Outgrowing the negative influence of the partner.
I thought that I knew you
Realizing that the knowledge about the partner was incomplete.
I'm leaving it all in the past
Deciding to leave the past behind.
Starting all over
Embracing a new beginning.
I don't need your closure
Declining the need for closure from the past relationship.
I'm finally finding me
Finding and rediscovering oneself.
Finding me
Reiterating the theme of finding oneself.
Finding me
-Finding me
-Finding me
-Finding me
-A drink in my hand
Painting a picture of the current emotional state with a drink, vulnerability, and inner pain.
A heart on my sleeve
-Sweet pains in my chest
-Our time ain't the best
Describing a tumultuous phase with challenges but recognizing life continues.
Crashing and burning the Earth is still turning
-I finally see how you treated me
Gaining insight into how the partner treated the person.
You used and abused me
Repeating the experience of being used and attempting to be diminished.
You tried to reduce me
-To somebody I'd never be
-But I tell myself
Reiterating the belief in overcoming the current challenges.
That this is gonn pass
Affirming the transient nature of the pain.
The pain that I'm feeling
Expressing the intensity of the current emotional pain.
Just ain't gonna last
Stating that the emotional pain won't endure.
And I kept on walking
Continuing to move forward despite difficulties.
No, I don't feel like talking to you
Declining communication and interaction with the former partner.
Talking to you
-And leaving you behind
Expressing the liberation and positive mindset after leaving the past behind.
Is the best thing on my mind
-I'm finally walking free
Repeating the theme of finding oneself and walking free.
Finding me
-Finding me
-Finding me
-Finding me
-Finding me
Emphasizing the process of self-discovery and liberation.
