See in Me
Discovering Self-Reflection in Lucian Waters' 'See in Me'
Lyrics
Say why you tryna do this now
Singer questions the reason behind someone's current actions.
You're tryna do this by yourself
The person is attempting to handle things on their own.
Never thought I'd lose it now
Expressing surprise at the unexpected loss of something valuable.
Cause I used to know how real love felt
Reflecting on the past ability to feel genuine love.
And I had somebody who believed in me
Recalling having someone who believed in the singer.
But right now I don't like what I see in me
Singer is currently dissatisfied with their self-image.
I know I'm selfish
Admitting to being selfish.
But I didn't wanna say it out loud
Unwillingness to vocalize selfishness openly.
Forgot about my mother on her birthday
Regret for forgetting a significant event related to family.
Get my head out of the fucking clouds
Realization to focus and be more grounded.
And I need somebody who believes in me
Expressing a need for someone to believe in the singer.
Cause right now I don't like what I see in me
Continued dissatisfaction with the current self-perception.
Yeah
General expression, possibly indicating agreement or acknowledgment.
Hey what I see in me
Reiteration of dissatisfaction with self.
In me, in me
Repetition for emphasis on the negative self-perception.
Baby I don't like what I see in me
Reiteration of disliking what the singer sees in themselves.
In me, in me
Continued emphasis on dissatisfaction with self.
I don't like what I see in me
Repetition of the negative self-image.
In me, in me
Continued emphasis on not liking the self-perception.
Baby I don't like what I see in me
Reiteration of disliking what the singer sees in themselves.
In me, in me
Continued emphasis on dissatisfaction with self.
Ay
Acknowledgment or agreement, possibly signaling a transition in the lyrics.
She said I had a big heart
Quoting someone who once praised the singer's big heart.
That was a real fan of me
Recognition that a genuine admirer has faded away.
Now all I'm after are the hearts that don't matter to me
Shift in focus towards valuing hearts that don't hold importance.
And all my real friends have probably had it with me
Acknowledgment that genuine friends may have grown tired of the singer.
Damn yeah she said that it would happen to me
Recalling a prediction or warning that the singer dismissed.
Ay
Acknowledgment, possibly reflecting on the accuracy of the prediction.
I know you felt it
Acknowledging that the listener experienced a deep connection with the singer.
Cause you loved me like I don't know how
Comparing the listener's love to a unique and incomprehensible form.
Didn't wanna end it
Reluctance to end a relationship.
No I didn't wanna let you down
Clarifying the singer's intention not to disappoint the listener.
Now I need somebody who believes in me
Expressing the current need for someone to believe in the singer.
Cause right now I don't like what I see in me
Continued dissatisfaction with the singer's self-perception.
Hey what I see in me
Reiteration of disliking what the singer sees in themselves.
In me, in me
Repetition for emphasis on the negative self-perception.
Baby I don't like what I see in me
Continued emphasis on dissatisfaction with self.
In me, in me
Repetition of the negative self-image.
I don't like what I see in me
Continued emphasis on not liking the self-perception.
In me, in me
Reiteration of disliking what the singer sees in themselves.
Baby I don't like what I see in me
Continued emphasis on dissatisfaction with self.
In me, in me
Acknowledgment or agreement, possibly signaling the end of the song.
Ay, Yeah, Yeah
Expressive conclusion or transition to the end of the lyrics.
