I'm Becoming You
Becoming One: Unveiling the Desperate Desire in The Vandals' Song
Lyrics
It's not enough to say you're mine
Expressing a desire for a deeper connection, beyond a simple claim of ownership.
It still seems so unsatisfying
Feeling dissatisfied with the current level of connection or understanding.
I want to live inside your mind and
Expressing a wish to understand the partner on a profound level.
Wear your shoes and walk for miles
Expressing a desire to experience life from the partner's perspective.
Show up as you, do what you do,
Encouraging the partner to be themselves and witness the consequences of their actions.
See what ensues...can we try?
Asking if they can try this approach together.
Chorus:
Chorus emphasizing a shared identity and seeking help in the merging process.
I just had to explain that
-We are one in the same
-Help me coz I'm becoming you
-I smell your clothes,
Expressing a desire to absorb the partner's essence, wishing for their scent to be one's own.
I smell your sheets
-And wish that smell
-Had come from me
-I hate my skin
Expressing discontent with one's own physical existence and a sense of defeat.
That I live in,
-I never win,
-I just had to say
-Chorus:
Reiteration of the chorus, emphasizing the transformative process.
I just had to explain that
-We are one in the same
-Help me coz I'm becoming you
-Normal love you know the story,
Criticizing the traditional narrative of love and marriage as mundane and predictable.
It's been done
-And it gets so boring
-First you meet
-And then you get married,
-Squeeze out some kids
-And wait to be buried
-I know it sounds all crazy
Expressing a desire to become the partner, with acknowledgment of the chaotic emotions involved.
I want to be you baby
-It's no a gay thing,
-I'm just stating that
-I'm way all into you
-As this progresses I'm a mess
-But it will all be over soon
Believing that the intense emotions will subside with time.
Chorus:
Repetition of the chorus, seeking understanding and assistance in the merging process.
I just had to explain that
-We are one in the same
-Help me coz I'm becoming you
-I know it sounds all crazy
Reiteration of the desire to become the partner, emphasizing the intensity and unconventional nature of the feeling.
I want to be you baby
-I know it sounds all crazy
-He want's to be you baby
-I know it sounds all crazy
-He want's to be you baby.
