Not the One
Unveiling Inner Strength: Lifespark's 'Not the One' Meaning
Lyrics
I, I'm not complaining bout the outcome
I'm accepting the outcome without complaint.
I'm just complaining about the nights
Expressing dissatisfaction with the nights.
The nights of feeling so unmasked by your pretentious caring
Feeling exposed due to insincere concern.
The way you push yourself towards making up for the time
Describing efforts to compensate for lost time.
I have been chasing dreams that were never truly mine
Pursuing dreams that weren't genuinely personal.
After all this time you still tryna haunt my head
Persistent haunting despite the passage of time.
But this time I will not bend
Resolute refusal to yield this time.
I'm not the one thats broken
Asserting personal wholeness.
I'm not the one that needs to change
Rejecting the need for personal change.
Ive faced my inner doubts
Confronting inner doubts and finding relief.
And now I can finally breathe
Attaining a state of emotional liberation.
And I keep searching
Continued search for self-improvement.
For a way to live right next to your own door
Desiring proximity despite obstacles.
And I was learning, yeah
Learning to act indifferent about the departure.
To act like I dont mind that you are gone
Accepting the absence without expressing concern.
We all have a story and you told me yours
Recalling shared stories and losing personal identity.
Over and over till I lost my own
Impact of repetitive exposure to another's narrative.
And when I have told you that I am okay
Claiming okayness despite internal struggles.
I was just fighting through pain
Hiding pain behind a facade of well-being.
I'm not the one thats broken
Reiteration of personal wholeness.
I'm not the one that needs to change
Emphasizing resistance to change.
I've faced my inner doubts
Confronting and overcoming inner doubts.
And now I can finally breathe
Attaining a state of emotional relief.
Although myself was also falling apart
Personal struggles despite external composure.
Giving up everything just for the thought
Sacrificing everything for a fleeting thought.
To see you smile
The desire to witness happiness in someone else.
To hear your voice
Longing to experience familiar comforting sounds.
Telling me that you're okay
Seeking reassurance about the other's well-being.
And now I ask myself how selfish I was
Reflecting on personal selfishness.
Not thinking 'bout those that love me the most
Realization of neglecting those who care.
And now I see, just so clearly what it means to be myself again
Clear understanding of rediscovering oneself.
I'm not the one thats broken
Reiteration of personal wholeness.
I'm not the one that needs to change
Asserting resistance to the need for change.
I'm not the one thats broken
Reiteration of personal wholeness.
I'm not the one that needs to change
Emphasizing resistance to change.
Ive faced my inner doubts
Confronting and overcoming inner doubts.
And now I can finally breathe
Attaining a state of emotional relief.
I'm not the one that's out of line
Not being the one at fault or out of order.
Asking for some peace of mind
Seeking tranquility and mental peace.
