The Me I Know
Embracing Change: The Journey of Self-Discovery in 'The Me I Know' by Zia Victoria
Lyrics
I’m moving to LA next week I’m barely getting any sleep
Expressing the imminent move to LA and the resulting lack of sleep.
And if I ever do they’re lucid dreams
Referencing infrequent sleep and the occurrence of vivid dreams.
The autumn Air is crisp and cold
Describing the crisp and cold autumn air.
Soon the ground will feel like Styrofoam
Anticipating that the ground will feel like Styrofoam soon.
But I won’t be around to see the snow when it will freeze
Expressing the absence during the snowfall and freezing.
And I know why I’m anxious about something so exciting
Reflecting on the paradox of anxiety about an exciting event.
Cause I don’t have a switch that I can flip to change the timing
Acknowledging the inability to control timing with a metaphorical switch.
But if I get off track I’ll draw a path and silver lining and take it day by day
Planning to create a positive path if deviating from the track.
I know it’s gonna change
Believing that change is inevitable.
But the me I know will stay
Expressing confidence that the core identity will endure change.
I dyed my hair blonde yesterday
Detailing a recent hair color change to blonde.
Gonna change it back on Saturday
Intending to revert to the original hair color on Saturday.
I’m second guessing my identity
Expressing uncertainty and doubt about personal identity.
Climbing onto an ambitious dream tree
Climbing towards ambitious dreams and goals.
The branch I’m leaning towards is out of my reach
Facing challenges and obstacles in pursuing specific aspirations.
If I make it up
Acknowledging the necessity to descend after achieving goals to experience freedom.
Gotta climb down to be free
Highlighting the cyclical nature of progress and setbacks.
And I know why I’m anxious about something so exciting
Reflecting on anxiety related to exciting endeavors.
Cause I don’t have a switch that I can flip to change the lighting
Acknowledging the lack of control over external circumstances.
But if I get off track I’ll draw a path and silver lining
Planning to find positivity and direction if deviating from the intended path.
And take it day by day I know it’s gonna change
Emphasizing the acceptance of inevitable change and the need to approach it day by day.
Cracking jokes
Shifting to a lighter tone, mentioning cracking jokes.
With funny faces
Describing engaging in playful activities with funny faces.
Pillows fights
Recalling playful moments like pillow fights during the period of having braces.
When I had braces
Indicating a transition in life, possibly adolescence.
Oh, oh
Repeating "Oh, oh" for emphasis or emotional expression.
Always speaking
Emphasizing constant communication or self-expression.
So much feeling
Highlighting intense emotions and feelings.
Mind so full of free day dreaming
Describing a mind filled with carefree daydreaming.
Oh, oh
Repeating "Oh, oh" for emphasis or emotional expression.
I know it’s gonna change
Reiterating the expectation of change.
I know I’m gonna change
Acknowledging personal growth and transformation.
But the me I know will stay
Asserting the permanence of the core self despite anticipated changes.
