1994 was the year Rio Black and Dr. Mole, the creative center for Atomic Neon, first made music together. In the fall of 2006, after forming the synthpop project Spunk2003, Black and Mole searched for a live guitarist to help. The project was reinvented and songs were reconstructed into the band Atomic Neon.

Who Am I
Atomic Neon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Who am I
Who am I
I don't know
See the green walls
Who am I
Who am I
Who am I
Who am I
I can't cry
See the dark trees
Who am I
Who am I
I'm so afraid tonight
It's so cold tonight
I'm so sad tonight
I'm so dead tonight
Who am I
Who am I
Who am I
My eyes still burn
Look at the black sea
Who am I
Who am I
I'm so afraid tonight
It's so cold tonight
I'm so sad tonight
I'm so dead tonight
The song "Who Am I" by Atomic Neon is a haunting track that expresses confusion, fear, and sadness. The repeated question of "Who am I" is the central theme of the song, indicating a sense of existential crisis. The first verse refers to green walls, which may signify a feeling of entrapment or confinement. The second verse mentions dark trees, which could represent a sense of foreboding or danger. The lines "I can't cry" and "my eyes still burn" suggest that the singer is struggling with intense emotions, possibly even tears that they are unable to shed.
The chorus, with its repetition of the question "Who am I", creates a sense of desperation and hopelessness. Each time the question is asked, it serves as a reminder of the singer's confusion and lack of identity. The final verse adds another layer of despair with its reference to a black sea. This could represent a sense of hopelessness or a feeling of being overwhelmed by darkness and uncertainty.
Overall, "Who Am I" is a powerful expression of the human experience of questioning our place in the world, and struggling to find answers that bring peace and understanding.
