Who Am I But Someone
Navigating the Depths of Identity: 'Who Am I But Someone' by Kate Bollinger
Lyrics
Who am I but the one
Reflecting on identity, questioning self-existence.
To start out and finish in the place I came from?
Considering the cyclical nature of life, starting and ending in the same place of origin.
Wait, who am I but someone
Raising the question of personal identity.
Who will resign to the comfort of who I always was?
Contemplating accepting the familiarity of one's true self.
Days go by, I feel the same
Expressing a sense of monotony, days passing without change.
I don't know when I'll make the change
Uncertain about when a transformative change will occur.
My mind pretends not to feel this way
Mind avoiding acknowledgment of emotional unrest.
But my heart knows
Contrast between intellectual denial and emotional awareness.
I set out on a sinking ship
Metaphorically embarking on a challenging journey or relationship.
I'd rather slip than be alone on the island
Preferably facing difficulties rather than being isolated.
I've come all this way, I surely
Acknowledging progress made despite potential regrets.
Oughta know better
Recognizing the need for better decision-making.
Wait, who am I but the one
Reiterating the question of self-identity.
To start out and finish in the place I came from?
Emphasizing the cyclical aspect of life's journey.
Wait, who am I but someone
Repeating the inquiry into personal identity.
Who will resign to the comfort of who I always was?
Accepting the comfort of one's inherent self.
Who am I but a ship in the night?
Metaphorically portraying oneself as a wandering ship in the darkness.
Lost but headed for you
Lost but moving towards an unknown destination, possibly love.
Crossed my wires, unknown are my desires
Confused feelings and conflicting desires.
A confused point of view
Expressing a muddled perspective on life.
