what i am.
Resilient Echoes: Embracing Vulnerability in Melancholy Park's 'what i am'
Lyrics
I'll always be what I am
I will remain true to myself
Start that fire
Initiate that passion
Grab that loaded gun
Seize that loaded weapon
Hit me where I stand, where I stand whoah
Strike me where I am standing, emphasizing resilience
I don't mind if you take your best shot though
Indifferent to your attempts, willing to face challenges
I'm used to getting hit with all that they got whoah
Accustomed to enduring all adversities
It's hard to trust anyone
Difficulty in trusting due to potential betrayal
when they could easily stab my back
Fear of betrayal leading to defensive measures
So I protect my space
Guarding against potential threats
I'm always ready for attacks
Constant readiness for attacks
I just wanna chase my dreams
Desire to pursue personal aspirations
They just want to tear my flesh
Others seeking to harm or obstruct personal goals
straight from the seams
Attempting to destroy my ambitions
I can't say I didn't see this comin
Anticipation of challenges, prepared for them
Younger me would have crumbled
Past self would have crumbled under pressure
I'll lay it all out on the line for ya
Willing to be transparent and honest
I'm way too sensitive, always in my head
Highly sensitive, often lost in thoughts
Melancholic at my best
Best self expressed in melancholy
Sometimes I dream of death
Occasionally contemplates death in dreams
Smell of cigarettes on my breath
Reminder of past experiences through smell
Day dreaming what I've said
Reflection on words spoken in daydreams
Caring more than I should
Excessive concern beyond necessary
Doing more than I should
Overcommitting and overextending
I'll always be what I am
Reiteration of remaining true to oneself
Drink too much don't give a damn
Excessive drinking, displaying indifference
I'm running through without a plan
Proceeding without a clear plan
So go ahead and take your best shot at me
Challenging others to do their worst
I can understand your anger
Understanding and acknowledging others' anger
When you feeling empty
Recognizing emptiness as a source of anger
Aiming your words at someone whom
Directing frustration towards someone content
Feels plenty with everything he has
Contentment with one's possessions and achievements
So go ahead take a shot at my past
Inviting criticism about past mistakes
None of those mistakes last
Belief that past mistakes do not define
I'm an open book so go ahead trash it
Openness to scrutiny and criticism
I can't say I didn't see this comin
Anticipation of challenges, prepared for them
Younger me would have crumbled
Past self would have crumbled under pressure
I'll lay it all out on the line for ya
Willing to be transparent and honest
I'm way too sensitive, always in my head
Highly sensitive, often lost in thoughts
Melancholic at my best
Best self expressed in melancholy
Sometimes I dream of death
Occasionally contemplates death in dreams
Smell of cigarettes on my breath
Reminder of past experiences through smell
Day dreaming what I've said
Reflection on words spoken in daydreams
Caring more than I should
Excessive concern beyond necessary
Doing more than I should
Overcommitting and overextending
I'll always be what I am
Reiteration of remaining true to oneself
Drink too much don't give a damn
Excessive drinking, displaying indifference
I'm running through without a plan
Proceeding without a clear plan
So go ahead and take your best shot at me
Challenging others to do their worst
I'll always be what I am
Final affirmation of staying true to oneself
