Unveiling Inner Battles: Of Mice & Men's Struggle for Authenticity
Lyrics
Face down, I fall to the floor
Expressing a feeling of defeat, falling down physically or emotionally.
Can't say I've never been here before
Acknowledging a sense of familiarity with a difficult situation.
So frustrating, debilitating
Feeling frustrated and weakened, possibly by internal or external factors.
This emptiness there must be more
Expressing a sense of emptiness and a desire for something more meaningful.
It's taking over me
Describing an overwhelming feeling taking control.
I don't know what to believe
Expressing confusion and uncertainty about what to believe.
Forgetting everything
Attempting to forget aspects of life or experiences.
That makes me, makes me real
Stating that genuine qualities define one's authenticity.
I find an enemy
Seeing opposition or negativity in the words of others.
In every word that you say
Resisting efforts to be replaced or changed by external influences.
I won't let you replace
Protecting one's true self from being substituted or altered.
What makes me, makes me real
Emphasizing the importance of personal authenticity.
Start, stop, start over again
Describing a cycle of starting and stopping, possibly in relationships or endeavors.
Even though you know that this will end
Acknowledging the awareness that a situation will come to an end.
So frustrating, aggravating
Expressing frustration and irritation.
I lost myself when I let you in
Feeling a sense of loss of identity after letting someone into one's life.
But I will find myself again
Expressing determination to rediscover one's true self.
So don't you say, that you understand
Rejecting claims of understanding from others.
It's taking over me
Reiterating the overwhelming nature of a feeling taking control.
I don't know what to believe
Expressing confusion and doubt about what to believe.
Forgetting everything
Trying to forget everything that defines one's authenticity.
That makes me, makes me real
Reiterating the importance of genuine qualities in defining oneself.
I find an enemy
Perceiving opposition or negativity in the words of others.
In every word that you say
Refusing to be replaced or altered by external influences.
I won't let you replace
Defending one's true self from substitution or change.
What makes me, makes me real
Reiterating the significance of personal authenticity.
You won't take the best of me
Asserting resistance against being negatively affected.
Start, stop, start over again
Repeating the cycle of starting, stopping, and starting over.
Even though you know that everything ends
Acknowledging the inevitability of endings despite awareness.
It's taking over me
Reiterating the overwhelming nature of a feeling taking control.
I don't know what to believe
Expressing confusion and uncertainty about what to believe.
Forgetting everything
Attempting to forget aspects of life or experiences.
That makes me, makes me real
Emphasizing the importance of personal authenticity.
I find an enemy
Seeing opposition or negativity in the words of others.
In every word that you say
Resisting efforts to be replaced or changed by external influences.
I won't let you replace
Protecting one's true self from being substituted or altered.
What makes me, makes me real
Emphasizing the importance of personal authenticity.
