Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
with my head in my hands
for the third time just today
i can't get close
to who i am
and i've lost -
yes i've lost
very proud to have found
and so i'll try
just to smile
just to be a man
The lyrics of "Conclusion" by Ashton Nyte express resignation and disappointment towards the singer's inability to discover his true identity. The opening line paints a picture of the singer sitting with his head in his hands, lost in thought. He has attempted to discover who he is on multiple occasions, but he is unable to "get close" to the truth. The repetition of "for the third time just today" emphasizes his frustration and inability to find clarity.
The second verse suggests that the singer had previously been confident in the conclusions he had reached about himself. However, he has now "lost" these conclusions and is no longer sure of who he really is.
