Who You Are
A Vital Message Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We've been at this for days
this shit is really starting to get on my nerves
I've held my tongue
You've found your way
inside my mind,
It's like I'm going fucking crazy
and baby, you amaze me
Inside my mind I know you're lying,
Inside my dreams I see you dying

Don't just, walk away
you don't know what it does to me
when you say that you don't care
This happens every time
when you're gone I'll be fine
You won't be the death of me.

Two steps away from this
I'll take you're life from this existence
You're going no where fast

Why, do I
Forget who you are Don't just, walk away
you don't know what it does to me
when you say that you don't care
This happens every time
when you're gone I'll be fine
You won't be the death of me.

You wish to know
what It's like to despair




Well you should be running
you should be fucking scared

We've been at this for days
We have been in this situation for a long time


this shit is really starting to get on my nerves
This situation is becoming annoying


I've held my tongue
I have kept quiet


You've found your way
You have infiltrated my thoughts


inside my mind,
Within the confines of my thoughts,


It's like I'm going fucking crazy
It feels as if I am losing my mind


and baby, you amaze me
Yet, I am impressed by you


Inside my mind I know you're lying,
I am aware that you are deceitful


Inside my dreams I see you dying
In my dreams, I envision you meeting your end


Don't just, walk away
Do not leave without addressing this situation


you don't know what it does to me
You are unaware of the impact on me


when you say that you don't care
Your lack of concern exacerbates the issue


This happens every time
This is not an isolated incident


when you're gone I'll be fine
I will be okay once you are gone


You won't be the death of me.
Your departure will not be fatal to me


Two steps away from this
I am very close to ending this situation


I'll take you're life from this existence
I will eradicate you from my life


You're going no where fast
You are not progressing in this situation


Why, do I
I question myself


Forget who you are
I overlook your true identity


Don't just, walk away
Do not simply leave


You don't know what it does to me
You are oblivious to how it affects me


when you say that you don't care
Your nonchalance worsens the situation


You wish to know
You desire to understand


what It's like to despair
The feeling of intense sadness and hopelessness


Well you should be running
You should be escaping from this situation


you should be fucking scared
You should be terrified
