i don't wanna be her
Unraveling Desires: Lucy Deakin's 'I Don't Wanna Be Her' Meaning
Lyrics
Waste your time on someone else
Advising to invest time in someone else.
No-ones gonna help you help yourself
Emphasizing self-reliance, as no one will assist in self-improvement.
And I know, that you know
Acknowledging mutual awareness of a situation.
I can't be the one to make you feel any less alone
Expressing inability to alleviate loneliness in the person.
I don't wanna be her
Repeatedly stating a desire not to emulate someone.
I don't wanna be her
-Got you and I'm wondering what it is about her
Questioning what captivates the person about another, expressing insecurity and doubt.
Second guessing every little thing you said about her
-Crying as I'm wondering what it is about her
-Got you and I'm wondering what it is about her
-I keep pushing you won't leave
Persisting despite resistance, questioning the person's commitment.
Do you realise thats she's not me
Asserting the distinction between the singer and the person's current interest.
I'm feeling out of my mind
Feeling overwhelmed and distressed.
You're just too hung up why do i even try
Highlighting the person's preoccupation, questioning the singer's effort.
I don't wanna be her
Reiterating the desire not to be like the person's current interest.
I don't wanna be her
-Got you and I'm wondering what it is about her
Continued questioning of the person's attraction, with emotional turmoil.
Second guessing every little thing you said about her (now I'm thinking about her)
-Crying as I'm wondering what it is about her (now I'm thinking about her)
-Got you and I'm wondering what it is about her
-What it is about her
Repeating the inquiry about what is appealing about the other person.
What it is about her
-What it is about her
-Thinking about her, thinking about her
Expressing curiosity and concern about the person's thoughts and dreams regarding the other.
I wanna know if you're thinking about her
-Dreaming about her, falling without her
-Now I'm thinking about her
-Thinking about her, thinking about her
Reiterating the desire to know if the person thinks about the other, expressing vulnerability.
I wanna know if you're thinking about her
-Dreaming about her, falling without her
-Now I'm thinking about
-I don't wanna be her
Restating the aversion to becoming like the person's current interest.
I don't wanna be her
-Got you and I'm wondering what it is about her
Final contemplation on the person's fascination with the other, accompanied by emotional distress.
Second guessing every little thing you said about her (now I'm thinking about her)
-Crying as I'm wondering what it is about her (now I'm thinking about her)
-Got you and I'm wondering what it is about her
