Embrace Individuality: Unveiling the Self in 'Read My Lips' by The Movielife
Lyrics
You had a falling out with yourself that night,
You experienced a personal conflict within yourself on that particular night.
But don't you dare complain.
Despite your internal struggles, refrain from expressing complaints.
I've seen this before. It's nothing new to me.
The singer has observed similar situations before, indicating a familiarity with internal conflicts.
Just makes me strong you see.
The challenges faced contribute to the singer's strength.
You live your life just for others.
Your life seems directed towards pleasing others.
They change their act then you change yours too.
When others change, you adapt your behavior accordingly.
Things they change, I've lost track. What am I to do?
The singer has lost track of the changes around them, feeling uncertain about the appropriate response.
I will stay true to myself. I will stay true to myself.
Commitment to staying true to oneself despite external changes.
You live your life just for others.
Similar to line 5, emphasizing a pattern of living for others.
They change their act then you change yours too.
Reiteration of the adaptability to others' changes.
Things they change, I've lost track. What am I to do?
The singer expresses confusion about how to handle the continuous changes.
I will stay true to myself. I will stay true to myself.
Reaffirmation of the commitment to self-authenticity.
You- you did it for others.
Highlighting that 'you' made choices for others, emphasizing a contrast with the singer.
Me- I do it for myself.
The singer emphasizes personal motivations, doing things for themselves.
You- you did it for others.
Repetition of the contrast between 'you' and the singer regarding motives.
Me- I do it for myself.

I will stay true to myself. I will stay true to myself.
Final affirmation of the commitment to maintaining authenticity and staying true to oneself.
