My Own Line
Finding Freedom: Myles Maestro's Journey Through Self-Discovery
Lyrics
Hear you call me by name
Hearing someone addressing the singer directly.
But I can't make what you say
The singer struggles to comprehend or understand the message or request being conveyed.
I think you want me to change
Perception that there is an expectation for the singer to change.
I'm too lost in my ways
The singer feels entrenched or deeply embedded in their habits or ways of being.
Wish you left me to sleep
Expressing a desire that the person had let the singer continue sleeping (metaphorically) rather than confronting them with the truth.
Now I wander awake
Being awake now, possibly implying feeling exposed or vulnerable.
I miss the bliss of my dreams
Longing for the comfort and happiness experienced in dreams.
Without the sound of my chains
Freedom from restrictions or constraints.
Fed lines from the wall, I was playing the part
Previously adhering to societal norms or expectations, playing a role assigned by others.
Red eyes in the dawn of LA, End of March
Describing a specific time and place - Los Angeles at the end of March with tired or weary eyes.
Thought I'd never look back
An assertion of not dwelling on the past.
But you better believe
Emphasizing determination or insistence.
When I was under attack
Recalling a time of vulnerability and being watched or monitored.
And they were watching me bleed
Experiencing pain or hardship while others observe.
I got away from the scene
Escaping or moving away from a situation.
It wasn't part of the dream
Realization that a particular experience or event wasn’t part of the envisioned future.
I think I had to try just to find my way
Feeling the need to make attempts to navigate and discover a path forward.
I get high, Hoping I'll ignite my pain
Using substances to cope with or alleviate emotional pain.
I get by, I don't got my mind on hate
Surviving without focusing on negative emotions.
I don't really got the time to waste
Valuing time and not wanting to waste it.
You're so blind, I kinda find that strange
Noticing someone's inability to see or understand something the singer perceives.
The sunshine, but you would rather find that rain
An observation about preferring negativity despite the presence of positivity.
In no time, they won't recognize my face
Anticipation of a future where the singer will not be recognized due to change or growth.
I swear, I found my own line to say
A declaration of having found one's own way of expressing oneself or living.
Same signs, this ride was kinda stressing me out
Feeling stressed or anxious due to recurring signs or patterns.
Questioning why the whole time I'd lie,
Questioning past behavior or actions.
I'm second-guessing myself
Experiencing self-doubt or uncertainty.
Thought I'd never look back
A reaffirmation of not dwelling on the past.
But you better believe
Emphasizing the necessity of belief or conviction.
That there was never a map or fucking path to the dream
No predetermined route or guidance toward a desired goal.
You just adapt to the scene
Adapting to surroundings or circumstances.
And it's just not what it seems
Realizing that reality is different from initial perceptions.
(It's just not what it seems)
Reiteration that appearances can be deceptive.
But I think I had to try just to find my way
Similar to line 17, an affirmation of needing to explore to find direction.
I get high, Hoping I'll ignite my pain
Seeking relief from emotional pain through substances.
I get by, I don't got my mind on hate
Continuing to live without dwelling on negative emotions.
I don't really got the time to waste
Valuing time and being productive.
You're so blind, I kinda find that strange
Observing someone's inability to perceive things as the singer does.
The sunshine, but you would rather find that rain
An observation about preferring negativity despite positivity being present.
In no time, they won't recognize my face
Anticipating a future where the singer's identity or appearance will change and go unrecognized.
I swear, I found my own line to say
A reaffirmation of having discovered one's unique way of expression or living.
I swear I found my own line to say
Repetition for emphasis on finding one's own path or method of expression.
I swear I found my own line to say
Reiteration of the singer's assertion of self-discovery.
