So Many Personalities Ago
Evolution of Identities: A Journey through Changing Selves
Lyrics
I used to think that I knew people
I used to believe that I understood people
I used to think I knew myself
I used to believe that I knew who I was
I used to think some things never changed
I used to believe that certain things remained constant
Until I became someone else
But my identity changed, and I transformed into someone else
Until I became someone else
Reiteration of the transformation into a different person
That was so many personalities ago
Reflecting on a distant past with numerous personality changes
That was so many personalities ago
Reiteration of the multitude of personalities experienced
I remember when I first met you
Recollection of the initial encounter with someone
I remember your fiery words
Memories of the person's passionate and intense words
I remember your Manson Family kink
Reference to unconventional interests resembling the Manson Family's extreme beliefs
You wanted to see the world burn
The person desired chaos and destruction
You wanted to see the world burn
Reiteration of the destructive tendencies
But that was so many personalities ago
Reflecting on a distant past with numerous personalities
That was so many personalities ago
Reiteration of the multitude of personalities experienced
That was so many personalities ago
Further emphasis on the extensive changes in personality
That was so many personalities ago
Continued reflection on past multiple personalities
I've been a pilgrim, I've been a ghost
Description of diverse experiences, including pilgrimage and being a ghost
I've been forever changing
Acknowledgment of continuous change and transformation
I'm wandering out of familiar frames
Moving away from familiar experiences into unknown territories
And into foreign scenes
Entering unfamiliar and new environments
It's a shadow play of spirit lights
Metaphorical reference to the transient nature of life
Where we come and go like strangers
People entering and leaving life like strangers
But you can't hold on to the ones you love
Expressing the difficulty of holding onto loved ones due to constant change
'Cause no one here stays the same
Nobody remains the same here
Today I'm not walking backwards
Asserting a commitment to forward movement and progress
Today I'm not turning around
Rejecting backward movement and refusal to look back
I can't hold on to what I can't change
Acceptance that some things cannot be changed and must be let go
That was then, this is now
Emphasizing the distinction between past and present
That was then, this is now
Reiteration of the contrast between past and present
That was then, this is now
Continued emphasis on the difference between past and present
That was then, this is now
Reiteration of the distinction between past and present
That was so many personalities ago
Reflecting on a distant past with numerous personalities
That was so many personalities ago
Reiteration of the multitude of personalities experienced
No one here stays the same
Nobody remains the same; everyone undergoes change
No one here stays the same
Repetition of the idea that change is constant
We're all strangers, we're all strangers
Recognition that everyone is a stranger in the constantly changing world
We're all strangers, we're all strangers
Reiteration that everyone is a stranger in the ever-evolving reality
