Lyrics

Still don't know who I wanna be

Expressing uncertainty about personal identity and self-discovery.

Every single person that I see

Admiring or envying the qualities of others.

I think

Contemplating the desire for a different identity.

"I wanna be you"

Expressing a strong desire to be someone else.

"I wanna be you"

-

When I look in the mirror feel so empty inside

Feeling a lack of fulfillment when self-reflecting.

When I'm all alone it's almost like I've died

Describing a sense of emptiness and isolation when alone.

I think

Reiterating the desire to be someone else.

"I wanna be you"

Emphasizing the intense longing to embody another person.

"I wanna be you"

-

I

Repetition of the strong desire to be someone else.

But I still don't know who I wanna be

Revisiting the uncertainty about personal identity.

Every single person that I see

Reiterating the admiration or envy of others.

I think

Reflecting on the ongoing desire to be someone else.

"I wanna be you"

Intensifying the expressed desire to be another person.

"I wanna be you"

-

"I wanna be you"

-

"I wanna be you"

-

Feel so empty when I look inside

Expressing a deep sense of emptiness when self-examining.

When I'm all alone it's almost like I've died

Reiterating the feeling of emptiness and isolation in solitude.

I think:

Repeating the strong desire to be someone else.

"I wanna be you"

Continued repetition of the intense longing to embody another person.
