I Want to Be Me is a song about breaking free from expectations . . the roles we play, the masks we wear, and the pressure to be everything for everyone but ourselves. It’s about the frustration of constantly adapting, of feeling lost in a version of yourself that isn’t real. With raw, unapologetic lyrics and a driving melody, this song is a declaration of self-discovery and the fight to reclaim your identity.
At its core, I Want to Be Me is about rejecting the narratives others write for us. It’s for anyone who’s ever felt trapped in expectations and longed to step into their true self . . without fear, without apology, just real.
Jumping into roles, each one like a mask,
From the get-go, caught in a task.
Healing hearts while playing my scene,
But piece by piece, I lose what it means.
No simple texts, no random calls,
As silence grows, my spirit falls.
Always adapting, never just me,
These roles I fill, they never let me be.
Trust in yourself, it's all you need," they claim,
Yet I'm lost in their game, it's always the same.
What's real? What's not? How should I feel?
Their quick fixes never truly heal.
The brain, the guide, always supposed to know,
Caught in the spotlight, it's all for show.
What's left when the curtains close?
A shadow of myself, nobody knows.
Done with the old lines, the worn-out advice,
It builds up, set to capsize.
What role should I play, how should I stand,
When none of their scripts ever understand?
Facing down fears, defining my pace,
Looking in the mirror, who's in my space?
Can I reset, or is it too late?
Caught in their narrative, I contemplate.
Trying hard to find the essence of me,
Underneath all the roles they've decreed.
"Alter this, mend that," is all they can say,
But finding myself is the only true way.
Carving my path, through doubts and through noise,
Emerging from shadows with newfound poise.
This is my journey, my colors in play,
Embracing life, my own unique way.
