I Am Me, Myself
Embracing Authenticity: "I Am Me, Myself" by My Yellow Basement
Lyrics
I'm so sick of being someone I'm not
I'm tired of pretending to be someone else
Pretending that I'm this when I'm not
Faking a persona that doesn't reflect who I truly am
You think I've changed but I'm just done
Perceived as changed, but I've reached a point of self-discovery
Trying to be someone for you to love
Done trying to mold myself to be loved by you
I wish, I wish, I wish I was better
Expressing a desire for self-improvement and growth
I wish, I wish, I wish I was better
-If I was stronger would you respect me
Questioning if strength would earn respect
And if I was taller would you think I'm pretty
Wondering if physical appearance affects perception
But if I ran faster I'll get out of here
Contemplating escaping the current situation through speed
I'll run to you, and show you my love
Commitment to showing genuine love by running towards the person
I wish, I wish, I wish I was better
Reiterating the desire for personal improvement
I wish, I wish, I wish I was better
-I wish, I wish, I wish I was better
-I never changed so maybe it's just you
Asserting that personal essence remains unchanged; it's the perception that differs
That sees me in a way I don't
Recognizing that others perceive them differently than self-perception
I wish I could be the way I wanted to
Expressing a longing to be true to oneself
If I was cute, maybe I could dance with you
Connecting cuteness with the possibility of dancing with someone
If I had a better voice I would sing you a song
Expressing a desire for a better singing voice
Not a sad one, a happy song
Preference for singing happy songs on a big stage
I'll play on a stage with a big ass crowd
Imagining performing in front of a large audience
Until I forget that I can't sing
Playing until the reality of inadequate singing is forgotten
I wish, I wish, I wish I was better
Repeated expression of the desire for self-improvement
I wish, I wish, I wish I was better
-I wish, I wish, I wish I was better
-I never changed so maybe it's just you
Reiteration that personal essence remains consistent
That sees me in a way I don't
Acknowledging the difference between self-perception and external perception
I wish I could be the way I wanted to
Longing to be true to oneself despite external expectations
If I was cool, maybe I could dance with you
Connecting coolness with the possibility of dancing with someone
