Who Are You
-REJECT- Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The only set goal - more and more
Too often felt lost - don't wanna go on
Won't close my eyes - I can't ignore
Won't shut up - I can't ignore
Won't be one of them - a holy sinner's whore
Are you out - are you out
Won't be proud
Only felt ashamed
The lyrics of -REJECT-'s song "Who Are You?" talk about someone who is struggling with accepting the reality of their life. The first line, "Don't wanna believe the facts we have to devour," suggests that the person is faced with difficult truths but is reluctant to accept them. The second line, "The only set goal - more and more," implies that the person is obsessed with success or material goods, and is willing to sacrifice their own well-being to achieve it.
The next two lines, "Too often felt lost - don't wanna go on / Won't close my eyes - I can't ignore," reveal that the person is experiencing overwhelming feelings of hopelessness and despair. However, they are also determined not to turn a blind eye to their problems and instead want to confront them head-on. The lines "Won't shut up - I can't ignore / Won't be one of them - a holy sinner's whore" suggest that the person refuses to conform to societal norms and would rather speak out against injustices.
The chorus of the song, "Are you out - are you out / Out of your mind / Won't be proud / Only felt ashamed," seems to be directed at someone else. Perhaps the person is asking if the other person is also feeling lost and disillusioned. The lyrics convey a sense of uncertainty and inner turmoil, but ultimately, the person wants to stay true to themselves and not compromise their values.
