Lyrics
This is who I am
Expressing self-identity confidently
This is who I am
Reiteration of self-identity
maybe this is who I am
Uncertainty about self-identity
this is who I am
Reaffirmation of self-identity
maybe this is who I am
Uncertainty reiterated about self-identity
There's a crash
Describing a collision
and there is somebody stuck
Someone trapped in an accident
in the burning car
Emphasizing being stuck in a dangerous situation
it's me inside
Identification with the person in peril
behind enemy lines
Feeling isolated or in a conflicting situation
this is how things are
Acceptance of circumstances
I can't stand here
Sense of urgency or inability to remain in a situation
Maybe this is who I am
Continued uncertainty about self-identity
maybe this is who I am
-maybe this is who I am
-maybe this is who I am
-They talk to me
Interactions with others
and I agree
Agreement despite personal reluctance
though I don't want to
Reluctance in agreeing with others
They fire away their smiles at me
Receiving insincere gestures from others
can I get fire too?
Desire for reciprocal treatment
They hug and kiss and I
Avoidance of reciprocating certain gestures
turn the other cheek
Choosing non-confrontation despite being aware of insincerity
if they are nice
Acknowledgment of potential duplicity in others
I know they are mean
Suspecting hidden intentions in seemingly kind actions
maybe they're on to me?
Questioning if others are aware of the real situation
I can't stand here
Repetition of inability to remain in a situation
Sun has come
Symbolic reference to hope or positivity (sun)
lay your healing hands on me
Desire for healing or relief from a conflict
One time before this raging war
Request for intervention before a worsening situation
comes down on me
Fear of impending conflict or difficulty
Because I can't stand here
Repeated declaration of inability to endure a situation
maybe this is who I am
-I can't stand here
-maybe this is who I am
-I can't stand here
-maybe this is who I am
-I can't stand here
-maybe this is who I am
-I can't stand here
-I can't stand here
