The Real Me
Unveiling the True Self: A Journey Through Zofie Dares' 'The Real Me'
Lyrics
It wasn't easy to find out
It was challenging to discover
What this circus is about
The true nature of this situation or spectacle
It took years and I still feel so dumb
It took years, and I still feel foolish
Tell me what you want me to become
Tell me the person you want me to be
Wanna know which human wrote these rules
Curious about the originator of societal rules
And why we all still act like fools
Questioning why we still conform blindly
Still I'm trying to find out
Despite difficulties, I'm persistently attempting to understand
What this circus is about
The underlying meaning or purpose of this situation or spectacle
I've taught myself how to speak
I've self-taught the skill of communication
Even though you wanted me silent
Even though you preferred my silence
I've made myself a super freak
I've molded myself into an extraordinary individual
When no one really cared about my talent
In a time when my talent was disregarded
I've learned to always have eyes wide open
I've cultivated the ability to remain vigilant
Now I can see even words unspoken
Now I can discern even unspoken words
I've learned how to be kind to others
I've acquired the knowledge to be compassionate to others
'Cause now I know it's the only thing that truly matters
Recognizing that kindness is the only truly significant thing
It seems that school makes no more sense
Suggesting that traditional education has lost its meaning
It's just unnecessary expense
Viewing formal education as an unnecessary cost
It was rivals who educated me
Attributing personal growth to rivals or adversaries
Thanks to you I'm being free
Expressing gratitude for the newfound freedom
Thanks the rivals who educated me
Reiterating thanks to rivals for the education received
Thanks to you I'm being free
Expressing gratitude again for the resulting freedom
Cause you taught me
Because you instructed me
You taught me to see the real me
You guided me to discover my true self
