Not Who I'm Not
Discovering Authenticity: Not Who I Used to Be
Lyrics
Sorry, sorry for my mind
Expressing regret or apology for the state of the speaker's mind.
I found freedom, found freedom in lyin
Finding a sense of liberation in deceit or falsehood.
Wish I could blame it, blame it on the wine
Desiring to attribute actions to the influence of alcohol.
I thought everyone was having a good time
Mistakenly believing everyone is enjoying themselves.
Read the teleprompter, check the box
Following instructions, conforming to expectations.
This is how you talk, talk
Learning how to communicate in a prescribed manner.
Forgot I was a robot
Realizing a loss of genuine identity, feeling robotic.
Pour some water on me, kill the screen, tell me what you see
Seeking clarity, wanting someone to reveal the truth.
Cause I'm not who Im not
Asserting that the speaker is authentic and true to themselves.
No you won't find what you're looking for
Assuring that the truth may not align with expectations.
Cause I'm not who I'm not anymore
Emphasizing a significant change in the speaker's identity.
I saw my soul through a secret door
Discovering one's true self through a concealed or private revelation.
Now I'm not who I'm not
Reiterating the transformation of the speaker's identity.
Anymore, anymore, anymore, anymore
Repeating the assertion of no longer being someone different.
I'm not who I'm not anymore
-Anymore, anymore, anymore, anymore
-I'm not who I'm not
Restating the core idea of the speaker's authenticity.
Clearly, I've been hiding in my dreams
Acknowledging a tendency to conceal oneself in dreams or imagination.
Apologies, you'll get no more from me
Declining further apologies, signaling an end to remorse.
Oh won't you come with me
Inviting someone to explore the real self, suggesting it might be appealing.
You might like what you see
-That karaoke faith ain't what I need
Rejecting a superficial or insincere form of belief.
No you won't find what you're looking for
Repeating the idea that the truth may not meet expectations.
Cause I'm not who I'm not anymore
Reiterating the profound shift in the speaker's identity.
I saw my soul through a secret door
-Now I'm not who I'm not
-Anymore, anymore, anymore, anymore
Repeating the notion of no longer being someone different.
I'm not who I'm not anymore
-Anymore, anymore, anymore, anymore
-I'm not who I'm not
Reaffirming the speaker's true self.
Lately, I'm in love with my crazy mind
Expressing a newfound appreciation for the speaker's own unique thoughts.
Maybe, I'm just a sucker for a neon sign
Considering the possibility of being drawn to superficial attractions.
Yah you'll get what see this time
Anticipating that others will perceive the speaker as authentic this time.
No you won't find what you're looking for
Reiterating that the truth may not align with expectations.
Cause I'm not who I'm not anymore
Reiterating the significant change in the speaker's identity.
I saw my soul through a secret door
-Now I'm not who I'm not
-NO NO NO NO NO NO
Emphatically rejecting the idea of reverting to a false self.
You won't find what you're looking for
Reiterating that the truth may not meet expectations.
Cause I'm not who I'm not anymore
Conveying the idea that attempts to protect the speaker were unnecessary.
You tried to shelter me from the storm
-Funny thing. the rain was warm
