The lyrics of Pursuing My True Self are an insightful commentary on the overwhelming amount of information that the modern world provides us with, making it hard for us to have control over our lives. The first few lines describe how we are living our lives with so much information abound. The next few lines urge the listener to let go of the remote and take control over the information they consume. The line "don't you know you're letting all the junk flood in" is a poignant commentary on how we often waste time consuming things that don't matter. The next few lines suggest that the speaker is trying to stop the flow of information but is unable to do so, indicating that the information overload is a genuine problem. The line "hey, I'm being consumed" highlights how the speaker seems to have lost control over their own life.

The second verse urges the listener to take action by "getting up on their feet" and "tearing down the walls" that are holding them back. The line "catch a glimpse of the hollow world" suggests that the speaker wants the listener to see that the world is not as it seems and that there is more to life than meets the eye. The line "snooping 'round will get you nowhere" suggests that the speaker wants the listener to take action rather than just passively observing. The final lines of the song suggest that we are all trapped in a maze of relationships and that life goes on with or without us. The line "I swim in the sea of the unconscious" indicates that the speaker is trying to find their true self. The aforementioned line "I search for your heart, pursuing my true self" implies that the speaker is trying to find meaning in life by searching for their true self.
