I have known this song for a while and when I decided to look deeper into the lyrics, it resonated so deeply within me and I could relate to every line. I read it to myself like a poem, feeling the emotions that comes with every word and every line and the verses and the pre-chorus and the chorus and the entirety of the song. I listened again and it meant so much more than it did the other days I have listened to it.
I interpreted the song a certain way, and shockingly, I realized through the official video that the singer interpreted it another way. Maybe he was being peotic and I was the one that took the lyrics literally (it's fun though). To him, it was a sad and 'sort of' an heartbreak song, a story of two people and one falling out of love with the other, and the feeling slowly fading away. Then you wonder if the good and perfect times you had will ever come back again and you can be free with each other again.
To me, the song is about losing oneself and slowly becoming another person, and you don't even know how to control it. I could really relate to this so much because I used to be someone I loved to be; fun, outspoken, optimistic, free-spirited, daring. Lately, I have just become so quiet and silent, I don't want to be seen, I get scared easily, I get shy, and I have been introduced to a world of anxiety.
Sometimes, I wish I can just go back to that person I used to be. Other times, I wonder if I can ever be that person again or if it is lost forever. I know I can capable of so much more, but I find it hard to do what is needed. The previous me would dare do attempt anything and even she failed, she would not be defeated because she would try all over again.
Somehow, I know that there is that other side of me somewhere but it just seems to be out of reach. Maybe someday, I will get to be that person again, or even become much better. I hope I find myself again and never lose it to any other circumstance.
Do I recommend this song? Absolutely! Infact, I recommend Dean Lewis himself; You should totally check his songs out.
