Someone To You
Discovering Light in Shadows: Someone To You by Katie Toupin
Lyrics
I work myself into a fit
I engage in intense activity or emotion
I call you up to deal with it
I reach out to you to cope with it
This ain’t who I want to be
I'm not happy with the person I've become
This shadowy part of me
A hidden and darker aspect of myself
I need a lot I need it often
I have significant needs that require frequent fulfillment
I built a world inside a coffin
I've created a confined and stifling world
This ain’t who I want to be
I'm not satisfied with this version of myself
This shadowy part of me
A concealed and negative side of me
This time I’ll go slowly
I will take my time this instance
So you really know me
To ensure you truly understand me
Though I have mountains left to move
I still have significant challenges ahead
This time it feels different
This time, the situation feels different
Ill really listen
I will genuinely listen and understand
So I can be someone to you
So I can become someone meaningful to you
I worry oh so very much
I experience a great deal of anxiety
I talk a lot of giving up
I often speak of giving up
But that ain’t the heart of me
But that's not my true self
A beacon of harmony
A symbol of peace and unity
I reach for you like dying breath
I reach out to you desperately
A broken heart an empty bed
Symbolizing pain and loneliness
This is the heart of me
This represents my core self
Here for my reckoning
Present for my judgment or self-reflection
This time I'll go slowly (this time I'll go slowly)
Reiteration of taking time deliberately
So you really know me (so you really know me)
To ensure a deep understanding of me
Though I have mountains left to move (ohh)
Despite having challenges to overcome
This time it feels different (ooh)
This time, the experience is different
I’ll really listen (ohh)
I will genuinely pay attention
So I can be (oh) someone (someone oh) to you (to you)
To become someone significant to you
Oh I knew your black and blue Heart I used
Referencing knowledge of your emotional pain
Oh I know if love is bold
If love is courageous and daring
I want to show you
I want to demonstrate it to you
(someone someone to you someone someone to you some someone to you)
Repetition emphasizing the desire to be someone to you
This time I'll go slowly
Reiteration of taking time deliberately
So you really know me
To ensure a deep understanding of me
Though I have mountains left to move
Despite having challenges to overcome
This time it feels different
This time, the experience is different
Ill really listen
I will genuinely pay attention
So I can be someone to you
To become someone significant to you
This time ill go slowly
Reiteration of taking time deliberately
So you really know me
To ensure a deep understanding of me
Though I have mountains left to move
Despite having challenges to overcome
This time it feels different
This time, the experience is different
Ill really listen
I will genuinely pay attention
So I can be someone to you
To become someone significant to you
