Who you are
Anna Clendening Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Why am I doing this to myself?
Losing my mind on a tiny error
I nearly left the real me on the shelf
No, No, No, No, No, No, No
Don't lose who you are
in the blur of the stars
Seeing is decieving, dreaming is believing
Sometimes it's hard
to follow your heart
Tears don't mean you're losing,
everybody's bruising
Just be true to who you are
Who you are Brushing my hair, do I look perfect?
I forgot what to do to fit the mold
The more I try, the less it's working
'Cause everything inside me screams
No No No No No No No
Don't lose who you are
in the blur of the stars
Seeing is decieving, dreaming is believing
It's okay not to be okay
Sometimes it's hard
to follow your heart
Tears don't mean you're losing,
everybody's bruising
There's nothing wrong with who you are
Yes, no's, ego's, fake shows like woah
Just go and leave me alone
Real talk, real life, good luck, goodnight
with a smile
'Cause that's my home.
that's my home
No No No No No No No No
Don't lose who you are
in the blur of the stars
Seeing is decieving, dreaming is believing
It's okay not to be okay
Sometimes it's hard
to follow your heart
Tears don't mean you're losing,
everybody's bruising
Just be true to who you are - End -
Anna Clendening's song Who You Are explores the idea of staying true to oneself in a world that often pushes people to conform to societal norms. The lyrics depict a person who is struggling to maintain their individuality and identity in the face of societal pressure. The chorus emphasizes the importance of not getting lost in the "blur of the stars" and staying true to oneself, even when it seems difficult to do so. The lyrics suggest that it is important to resist the pressure to fit in and instead embrace one's own unique qualities and characteristics.
The second verse continues this theme, with the singer questioning their appearance and actions to fit into societal norms. They realize, however, that their efforts to conform are making them feel increasingly disconnected from their true self, which causes them to feel helpless and frustrated. The final section of the song emphasizes the importance of speaking one's own truth and being honest with oneself, even if this means going against popular opinion or societal norms. The singer encourages listeners to embrace their own identity and not be afraid to show their true selves to the world.

I stare at my reflection in the mirror
Why am I doing this to myself?
Losing my mind on a tiny error,
I nearly left the real me on the shelf.
No, no, no, no, no...
Don't lose who you are in the blur of the stars!
Seeing is deceiving, dreaming is believing,
It's okay not to be okay.
Sometimes it's hard to follow your heart.
Tears don't mean you're losing, everybody's bruising,
Just be true to who you are!
(Who you are) [x11]
Brushing my hair-do I look perfect?
I forgot what to do to fit the mould, yeah!
The more I try the less it's working, yeah
'Cause everything inside me screams
No, no, no, no, no, no, no no... yeah.
Don't lose who you are in the blur of the stars!
Seeing is deceiving, dreaming is believing,
It's okay not to be okay.
Sometimes it's hard to follow your heart.
But tears don't mean you're losing, everybody's bruising,
There's nothing wrong with who you are!
Yes, no, egos, fake shows, like whoa!
Just go and leave me alone!
Real talk, real life, good love, goodnight,
With a smile that's my home!
That's my home, no...
No, no, no, no, no, no, no...
Don't lose who you are in the blur of the stars!
Seeing is deceiving, dreaming is believing,
It's okay not to be okay...
Sometimes it's hard to follow your heart.
Tears don't mean you're losing, everybody's bruising,
Just be true to who you are!
Yeah yeah yeah
