Not Me
Adam Pascal/Damian Perkins/Heather Headley/Sherie René Scott Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
I stood on certain ground
A picture of true happiness
Confidence so effortless
No brighter could be found
Mereb:
Oh No
Radames:
I never asked the questions
That trouble me today
I knew all there was to know
Love worn lightly
Put on show
My conquests on display (Mereb:I can't believe He's changing)
And who'd have thought that (Mereb:Oh, no)
Confidence could die?
Not me , Not me (Mereb:Not me, not me)
That all I took for granted was a lie
Not me, Not me
And who'd have guessed
I'd throw my world away
To be with someone I'm afraid will say (Mereb:This can never)
Not me,not me (Mereb:Be)
Mereb:
He's in love
But he's not the only one
Who'll be changed
Aida:
I shall not envy lovers
But long for what they share
Amneris:
An empty room is merciless
Don't be surprised if I confess
I need some comfort there
Aida and Amneris:
And who'd have thought
That love could be so good?
Not me, not me
And show me things I never understood
Not me, not me
Who'd have guessed he'd
Throw his world away
To be with someone til his dying day
Not me, not me
Radames, Amneris,Aida:
And who'd have thought that love
Could be so good
Not me, not me (Mereb:Not me, not me)
My/his secrets

He doesn't believe he would ever throw his world away for someone until he finds himself in love with someone who might not feel the same. The other characters in the song are also affected by the changes in the singer's life.
The song highlights the singer's realization about the complexity of love and the unpredictability of life. He thought he knew all there was to know, but he was wrong. The song also explores the fear and uncertainty that people feel when they are in love and need validation. The characters in the song undergo changes and face new challenges, but they eventually learn that love can be good.
