I Am Harlequin
[unknown] Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Misleading eyes
Who am I
Don't know what I want
Don't know what I need
I just wanna feel at home
In my own skin
I've got a problem with annunciation I don't know how to speak
The things in my head like the shield and spear paradox
It's not worth the breath it would take to open Pandora's box
All that I feel, I seal shut never to be broken
But if it did make a break oh the cascade of emotion
So much pressure pushing this wave not even Mo could split it
So much packed hidden inside a Rorschach painting
Rorschach painting
Grey skies
Misleading eyes
Who am I
How can I not break, not forsake
Every breath I take I fight the urge to turn it all away
Hard to decide whether to try to feel alright or curl up and die or live another day
Wanna close my eyes and feel alright and take that dive, are my lips blue yet
Pupils dilate
I feel irate
Can this be hate
Are you looking at me
Are you looking at
Are you looking at
Are you looking at
Are you looking at
Are you looking at me
Grey skies
Misleading eyes
Who am I
Don't know what I want
Don't know what I need
I just want to feel at home
In my own skin
The lyrics to [unknown]'s song "I Am Rock" delve into themes of self-identity, inner struggle, and the desire for acceptance. The opening lines paint a picture of gloomy skies and deceptive appearances, suggesting a sense of confusion and uncertainty. The repeated question, "Who am I?", reflects a deep introspection and a quest to find one's true self.
The singer expresses a lack of understanding about their desires and needs, longing to feel comfortable and accepted in their own skin. They admit to struggling with articulation, feeling their emotions trapped behind their teeth. This may symbolize a difficulty in expressing oneself or communicating their true feelings.
The mention of the shield and spear paradox suggests a conflicting battle within the individual, questioning whether it is worth opening up and revealing their vulnerabilities. The fear of the intense emotions that might flood out, represented by Pandora's box, is acknowledged. The weight of suppressed emotions is described as a wave of pressure, emphasizing its overwhelming nature. Hidden beneath the surface, the singer's emotions are compared to a mysterious Rorschach painting, perhaps indicating their complexity and formlessness.
In the second verse, the singer grapples with the decision of whether to confront their emotions or retreat from them. They fight against the urge to reject everything and contemplate the alternative of living another day. The desire to close their eyes and find solace contrasts with the reality of their irate and frustrated state. The question of whether the feelings experienced can be classified as hate or not highlights the singer's struggle to comprehend their own emotions.
The recurring phrase "Are you looking at me" suggests a feeling of being observed or judged, adding to the sense of vulnerability and self-doubt. These lyrics capture the internal turmoil of someone searching for their own identity, grappling with conflicting emotions, and yearning for acceptance.

It's not worth the breath it would take to open Pandora's box

But if it did make a break oh the cascade of emotion
If my emotions were to erupt, it would be overwhelming
So much pressure pushing this wave not even Mo could split it
Feeling immense pressure that seems insurmountable
So much packed hidden inside a Rorschach painting
Concealing many hidden emotions and complexities
How can I not break, not forsake
Struggling to stay strong and not abandon myself
Every breath I take I fight the urge to turn it all away
Each breath is a battle to resist giving up
Hard to decide whether to try to feel alright or curl up and die or live another day
Debating between striving for happiness and giving up on life
Wanna close my eyes and feel alright and take that dive, are my lips blue yet
Desiring to escape reality and numb my pain, even to the point of self-destruction
Pupils dilate
Eyes widening in response to intense emotions
I feel irate
Experiencing intense anger
Can this be hate
Questioning if my feelings have turned into hatred
Are you looking at me
Feeling self-conscious and insecure about being observed
Are you looking at
Continuing the feeling of being scrutinized
Grey skies
The ongoing bleakness in my life
Misleading eyes
Persistent deception from others
Who am I
Still grappling with my own identity
Don't know what I want
Remaining uncertain about my desires
Don't know what I need
Continuing to lack clarity about my true needs
I just want to feel at home
Yearning for a sense of belonging and ease
In my own skin
Finding comfort and acceptance in being myself

Marta Molina
I know, I've seen you when I wake up
A daydream recurring, that I cannot stop
You are heavy on the heart, and you're heavy on my mind
The silence between us leaves me walking blind
When you hold me still, my heart weights a ton
Trying not to get greedy, that's not easily done
You hold your life together
But you're up and over the line
In dark times and forever
I know that you'll be fine
Oh, wild one
Oh, wild one
You are always on my mind
And you're always in my head
You tell me stories that I can't forget
But then you walk away and leave before the dawn
Another year, without you, gone
Oh, wild one
Oh, wild one
They say, "Oh dear child, he's a wild one, he's okay"
They say, "It's all or nothing for him, he's gonna stray"
Are you wiser than the old man, are you drunker than she is?
Are you living it up, speak of the love you miss?
Are you holding on to fast thoughts, drowning out the past?
Will you turn around, come back at last?
You hold your life together,
But you're up and over the line
In dark times and forever
I know that you'll be fine
Oh, wild one
Oh, wild one
You are always on my mind
And you're always in my head
You tell me stories that I can't forget
But then you walk away, leave before the dawn
Another year, without you, gone
Oh, wild one
Oh, wild one
Halo, over you
You're on my mind forever
Halo, over my wild one (over you)
Over my wild one (you're on my mind)
Forever
Halo, over my wild one (over you)
Over my wild one (you're on my mind)
Forever and ever
You are always on my mind
And you're always in my head
You tell me stories that I can't forget
But then you walk away, leave before the dawn
Another year, without you, gone
Oh, my wild one
Oh, my wild one
They say, "Oh dear child, he's a wild one, he's okay"
They say, "Oh dear child, he's a wild one, he's just gonna stray"
Halo, over you
You're on my mind forever
