Somebody Else
Embracing Identity: Plastic Sun's Reflection on Self-Discovery
Lyrics
You caught me looking out
You noticed me observing the surroundings
You caught me drifting
You caught me daydreaming or being lost in thought
I'm wrapped up in this suit
I am entangled or confined in this formal attire
In this mold
I am stuck in a predetermined form or pattern
In this skin
I am confined within my own identity or appearance
What face should I wear?
Which facial expression should I display?
What pose should I take?
What posture should I adopt?
And would you recognise
Will you be able to identify me for who I truly am?
Me for who I am
Will you recognize my true self?
I wanted to be somebody else
I desired to assume a different identity
But I can't be and I can't lie
But I cannot pretend or deceive
It's not like you to interfere
It's unusual for you to intervene or meddle
I wanted to be somebody else
I aspired to be someone else
But I can't be even if I try
However, it's impossible even if I attempt
it's not like you to interfere
It's uncommon for you to interfere or get involved
They said I must be strong
They suggested that I should be resilient and self-assured
And filled with confidence
But true strength is not blindly following instructions
But strength isn't doing what you are told
Strength is not complying with what you are commanded to do
Come on fragile one
Come on, delicate or vulnerable one
You can take them on
You have the capability to confront challenges
And watch it all crumble
Witness everything fall apart
Isn't it beautiful?
Isn't the collapse or destruction beautiful?
