Lyrics
Have you ever looked at me
Feeling unseen, expressing a desire for attention.
Because I always look at you
Reciprocal attention, emphasizing mutual observation.
You don't know what it's like to be me
Conveying a sense of isolation and uniqueness in personal experiences.
I don't know what it's like to be you
Acknowledging a lack of understanding of the other person's perspective.
You don't know what I been through
Highlighting the unknown challenges faced by the speaker.
I don't know what you've been through
Expressing uncertainty about the difficulties the other person has encountered.
I think I need to be like me
Desire for authenticity, suggesting a need to be true to oneself.
I think you need to be like you
Encouraging the other person to embrace their true self.
I don't know what to do
Expressing confusion or indecision about the current situation.
I don't know what to do
Repetition for emphasis on the speaker's uncertainty.
Don't know what to do
Continuation of the speaker's internal struggle and uncertainty.
All your tears
Symbolic reference to the emotional impact of the other person's distress.
Are drowning me
Feeling overwhelmed by the emotional weight of the other person's suffering.
My lungs are filled with all your agony
Metaphorical expression of being deeply affected by the other person's pain.
I said it once
Reiterating a previously stated sentiment for emphasis.
I'll say it twice
Emphasizing the gravity of the situation by repeating a declaration.
I cant live, when you are in my life
Expressing the emotional toll of having the other person in their life.
Have you ever looked at me
Returning to the theme of seeking recognition and understanding.
Because I always look at you
Repeating the mutual gaze, reinforcing the theme of observation.
Look at you
An echo of the earlier emphasis on observation and self-awareness.
You don't know what I been through
Reiteration of the challenges faced by the speaker.
I don't know what you've been through
Restating uncertainty about the other person's experiences.
I think I need to be like me
Reaffirming the need for authenticity and self-discovery.
I think you need to be like you
Encouraging the other person to embrace their own identity.
You don't know what I been through
Reiterating the undisclosed challenges faced by the speaker.
I don't know what you've been through
Repeating uncertainty about the other person's experiences.
I think I need to be like me
Restating the internal struggle and the need for self-authenticity.
I think you need to be like you
Encouraging the other person once again to be true to themselves.
