On My Own
Embracing Independence: The Emotional Journey of 'On My Own'
Lyrics
I wanna believe you, deceive you
I want to believe in you, but also trick or mislead you
Wrap you up inside the ball you made for me
To enclose you within the emotional turmoil you created for me
For me
Emphasizing the personal nature of the emotional turmoil
I wanted to break you, make you
I desired to shatter you and transform you into a monster, similar to the one you left within me
A monster like the one you left inside of me
Referring to the negative emotional impact left by the person
In me
Highlighting the internalization of emotional scars
I'll tell you things that
Expressing willingness to disclose uncomfortable truths
You dont wanna hear about
Emphasizing the undesirable nature of the information
(Oh yea)
An expression of agreement or acknowledgment
Hear me out
A plea to be heard and understood
Loved you now I'm on my own
Once I loved you, now I find myself alone
On my own
Reiterating the theme of solitude
You dont wanna see the holes
You prefer not to witness the emotional wounds
All the holes
Referring to the emotional gaps or scars in the relationship
Now I'm on my own
Emphasizing the current state of independence
I wanna believe you
Repetition of the desire to believe in the person
I wanna believe you
Reiteration of the desire to believe
I wanna believe you, deceive you
Repeating the conflicting desire to believe and deceive
Wrap you up inside the ball you made for me
Repetition of the metaphorical enclosure within emotional turmoil
Loved you now I'm on my own
Reflecting on the past love and current state of solitude
On my own
Reiteration of being alone after once loving someone
You don't wanna see the holes
Repeating the avoidance of confronting emotional wounds
All the holes
Referring again to the emotional gaps or scars
I'm on my own
Emphasizing the current state of independence
I'm on my own
Repeating the assertion of being on one's own
On my own, yeah I'm on my own
Reiteration of being alone, emphasizing independence
On my own, yeah I'm on my own
Repeating the theme of solitude and independence
Now I'm on my own
Reiterating the current state of independence
