Analysis of I wasn't myself
Arpan Dey 2004 (West Bengal)
Yes I know I oughta be sorry
Vision blurry, death coming early
Things never worked out for me
Never fell into place for me
You weren't yourself. That's your problem
I wasn't myself, I was lured
Always assured, but never cured
I wasn't myself and that does matter
Does it not? You know better
Just shut up and go away
Yeah, I wish I could take a detour
I always mourn, life is sour
A small detour from life usual
But to stay afloat, back to normal
Stop being in this state. Do something
I wasn't myself, I was lured
Always assured, but never cured
I wasn't myself and that does matter
Does it not? You know better
That's not a solution. You can't give everything up
Training myself to perceive
Bad as good, lift my mood
Slowly preparing for the worst
And enjoying every bit of it
I've had enough. Do whatever you want
Oh, give up resistance
Give in to the flow of life
I will let things go on
Oh, give up resistance
Give in to the flow of life
So come on let's do a high five
I wasn't myself, I was lured
Always assured, but never cured
I wasn't myself and that does matter
Does it not? You know better
