Myself
Embracing Individuality: The Rasmus' Journey of Self-Discovery
Lyrics
I have always been different I like to be,
I have always embraced my uniqueness and prefer to be different.
But every time they got something to say to me.
Despite my individuality, others consistently criticize or judge me.
One day I had to be, I made a different me
At one point, I felt compelled to conform and created a different version of myself.
But got trouble next day I went school, you see.
Encountered trouble at school the next day after trying to fit in.
Two big fellows which don't much about like in me
Faced opposition from two individuals unfamiliar with my perspective.
Put me in to the games where I don't want to be.
Forced into situations I didn't want to be in by these individuals.
In other words no one don't like me there.
In summary, no one at this point accepts or likes me.
Sometimes I really care, I can't be myself.
Expressing a struggle to be genuine, facing challenges in being oneself.
Then one day I didn't meet the chosen one,
Encountered a pivotal moment where I didn't conform and met someone special.
I took a gun, party's just begun.
Took drastic actions, possibly metaphorical, indicating a significant change or rebellion.
Inside of me there still lives a part of me,
Despite changes, a part of the original self remains.
It put me back to the Earth, where I belong to be
Returned to a more authentic state, feeling connected to the Earth.
I get along well with this feeling in my mind,
Adapting well to the authenticity, finding peace in the mind.
If I should say something, I would say nothing
Choosing silence over words, valuing a deep connection over speech.
'cause I'll kiss my only friend what I've got, ever had
Expressing a deep bond with a singular friend, possibly metaphorical.
But still I can't ..I can't be myself.
Despite positive changes, struggling to fully embrace and be oneself.
I'm gonna the way I want to be,
Determined to be true to oneself, regardless of societal expectations.
Nobody want to talk with me, no.
Experiencing isolation as others avoid conversations with me.
Do I have to be or let my feelings free?
Contemplating the necessity of conforming or expressing true feelings.
Take a look at me, the way I want to be.
Encouraging others to observe and accept the way I choose to be.
I made decisions right, my feelings came from inside,
Making decisions authentically, driven by internal emotions.
I took a drug ride, I felt part of me died.
Experimenting with substances, leading to a sense of losing a part of oneself.
My life turned from that good to that very bad,
Life taking a negative turn due to the consequences of substance use.
There were only me, my pipe and those drugs I had
Isolation and dependence on drugs becoming a significant part of life.
One day I just will be, I'm gonna be real me,
Expressing a desire to eventually become the true, authentic self.
I think I cannot be, I can't be myself!
Despite the aspiration, acknowledging the ongoing struggle to fully be oneself.
