How To Be Me
Breaking Free: Navigating the Uncharted Territory of Self-Discovery
Lyrics
Step One
Initiating a process or a set of actions
Run away real far
Escaping or distancing oneself significantly
Change your name and ditch that car
Changing identity and abandoning personal belongings
Step Two
Continuing with the steps in a sequential manner
Cut off all contact
Cutting off communication entirely
And if they ask just cover your tracks
Concealing actions or intentions
Step Three
Engaging in pretense or feigning concern
Pretend like you care
Leaving a message before making a significant change
Leave a note then cut your hair
Addressing feelings of being overwhelmed
Step Four
Desire for something unattainable
Feeling overwhelmed?
Repetition emphasizing the unattainability
Well now you know just how it feels, son
Emphasizing the desire despite impossibility
You want it all
Acceptance of limitations despite desires
But you can't have it
Encouraging an alternative approach if unsuitable
You want it all
Rejecting the situation and suggesting a new start
But you can't have it
Restarting the process from the beginning
You want it all
Isolation from others
But you can't have it
Inducing a negative emotional state
If these steps just aren't your speed
Encouraging mental exploration and liberation
If they aren't what you need
Withdrawal and seclusion
If you feel like it needs to end
Refraining from acquiring certain skills or knowledge
Then stop right there let's try again
Rejecting attempts to help or repair
Step One
Questioning one's fate or destination after death
Cut off everyone
Challenging societal norms or expectations
Step Two
Intentional induction of sadness or depression
Make yourself feel blue
Encouragement of free thinking and exploration
Step Three
Isolation and avoiding experiences
Let your mind roam free
Rejecting efforts for improvement or resolution
Step Four
Questioning religious or moral beliefs
Stay behind your door
Admitting a departure from societal norms
Step Five
Rebelling against societal expectations
Don't learn how to drive
Denying or hiding one's sexual orientation
Step Six
Yearning for something unattainable
Don't let them try to fix
Reiterating the desire despite impossibility
Seven
Stating the unattainability with emphasis
Do you think I'd go to heaven?
Yearning for something unachievable
Step Eight
Emphasizing the desire despite impossibility
Stop lying, you're not straight
Yearning for something unattainable
You want it all
Yearning for something unachievable
But you can't have it
Yearning for something unattainable
You want it all
Yearning for something unachievable
But you can't have it
Yearning for something unattainable
You want it all
Yearning for something unachievable
But you can't have it
Yearning for something unattainable
You want it all
-But you can't have it
-You want it all
-But you can't have it
-You want it all
Yearning for something unachievable
But you can't have it
