Into Me You See
Unveiling Vulnerability: Katy Perry's Into Me You See
Lyrics
I built a wall so high, no one could reach
I created a barrier so high that no one could connect with me.
A life of locks, I swallowed up the keys
My life was guarded, and I intentionally kept myself isolated by locking away the keys.
I was petrified, only knew how to hide
I was scared and only knew how to conceal my true self.
They can't hurt me if they don't know me
I believed that if others didn't know me, they couldn't cause me harm.
A full facade made a mirage outta me
I presented a false image, creating a deceptive illusion of who I really am.
Then you came and started digging for a treasure underneath
Then someone came into my life and began exploring the hidden aspects of myself.
And you found a better version of me I had never seen
They discovered a better version of me that I had never recognized.
Into me, you'll see
The person brought a transformative experience, breaking down my defenses and making me vulnerable.
Into me, you'll see
-You broke me wide open, open sesame
-Into me, you'll see
-Into me, you'll see
-You got me wide open, now I'm ready
-Is this intimacy?
Questioning if the newfound openness is true intimacy.
I was a ship floating aimlessly
I was adrift without purpose, and concealing myself became a detrimental habit.
So camouflage was my own worst enemy
Camouflaging my true self became a self-destructive force.
But then you came in like a sailor with a heart that anchored me
Someone with a caring and grounding presence entered my life.
And every day I wake up grateful I'm no longer lost at sea
Gratitude for no longer feeling lost, anchored by the person's love.
Into me, you'll see
Reiteration of the transformative impact, becoming open and ready for intimacy.
Into me, you'll see
-You broke me wide open, open sesame
-Into me, you'll see
-Into me, you'll see
-You got me wide open, now I'm ready
-Is this intimacy?
Questioning again if what is experienced is true intimacy.
Oh, 'cause no one's ever seen me like this
Expressing the uniqueness of the current vulnerability, hoping for continued openness.
Seen right through their bullshit
-I pray that it can keep unfolding
-Pray that I just can stay open, just stay open
-Just stay open, just stay open
-Oh, 'cause you broke me wide open, open sesame
Final affirmation of the transformative experience, now being ready for intimacy.
Into me, you'll see
-Into me, you'll see
-You got me wide open, now I'm ready
-This is intimacy
