Who Am I
Peace Orchestra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Are we more than strangers passing by?
Is this your dream are you in mine?
Are we really here or lost in time?
Will you be friend or lover
Show me the heart you conceal
Now is the time to discover
If this feeling we're feeling is real
So close to love and yet so far
Just one kiss will tell us who we are
Will you be friend or lover?
Show me the heart you conceal
Now is the time to discover
If this feeling we're feeling is real
So close to love and yet so far
Just one kiss will tell us who we are
The lyrics to Peace Orchestra's song "Who Am I" explore the uncertainty and ambiguity of a relationship that is just beginning to develop. The singer is addressing their partner and pondering on the nature of their connection - are they strangers passing by, or something more? They question whether this is just a dream or if they are truly present in each other's lives. The singer asks the other person to reveal their true self, to show the heart that they are hiding. They want to know if the feelings they are experiencing are real and if they are ready to take the connection to the next level.
Throughout the song, the theme of wanting to bridge the gap between two people is prevalent. There is a sense of urgency in the lyrics - the singer wants to know if they are friends or if they are lovers. They want to discover if the feelings they are experiencing have substance or if they are just fleeting. The line "so close to love, and yet so far" highlights the uncertainty that accompanies a new relationship. The song ends on a hopeful note, with the suggestion that a single kiss could reveal the truth about their connection.

When in doubt, rock and roll,
Lock and load,
Scream with the soul,
Don't let terror take the toll.
Go weapons hot,
Take the shot.
Give it all you got.
Decide in the Mind
To hold the Line
The Ground you Stand
Will Determine
....The Man.

I think I was in 7th or 8th grade. Animatrix had just come out and a friend and I fell asleep watching it. This song was playing in the title/menu screen. I don't remember anything other than hearing it in my dream for a solid 30 mins or so.

Ever since I purchased the Animatrix soundtrack on compact disc back in 2003, this track has been on every MP3, ipod and now iPhone I have ever owned. Excellent track.
