I Am
Awolnation Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm the first to leave, the last to know
I'll be swimming in a face of flames
For these friends of mine I've overpaid
And I guess I wanted, I guess I wanted
I just want you to know (To know, to know, to know)
All of these things make me who I am
Maybe, all of these things make me who I am
And I am only looking on it with my hands down
All of these things make me who I am
Maybe, all of these things make me who I am
Maybe, all of these things make me who I am
And I am (Only looking on it with my hands down)
Things are glistening
So thanks a lot for listening
I guess I wanted, I guess I wanted
I just want you to know
All of these things make me who I am
Maybe, all of these things make me who I am
Maybe, all of these things make me who I am
And I am (Only looking on it with my hands down)
All these things make me who I am
Maybe, all of these things make me who I am
Maybe, all of these things make me who I am
And I am (Only looking on it with my hands down)
I guess I wanted
I guess I wanted
I just want you to know
Yeah, yeah, ooh! Someone left the lights on
Yeah, yeah, ooh! Someone left the lights on
Yeah, yeah, ooh! Someone left the lights on
Yeah, yeah, ooh! Someone left the lights on
All of these things make me who I am
Maybe, all of these things make me who I am
Maybe, all of these things yous make me who I am
And I am only looking on it with my hands down
All of these things made me who I am
Maybe, all of these things make me who I am
Maybe, all of these things make me who I am
And I am (Only looking on it with my hands down)
I guess I wanted
I guess I wanted
I just want you to know (To know)

the lyrics of "I Am" by AWOLNATION, you can see that the singer is talking about his friends and how they affect his life. He says that his friends come and go, and he is always the first to leave and the last to know. He also says that he has overpaid for these friends, and is willing to swim in a face of flames for them. However, he is also aware that all these things have made him who he is. He says, "Maybe all of these things make me who I am, and I am only looking at it with my hands down."
The song appears to be about the desire to be seen and understood for who we truly are. The singer is looking for someone to understand him and his situation without judgment. He wants people to listen to him and see the things that make him who he is, rather than just the surface-level things. He also notes that he has made mistakes and had difficult experiences, and these things have shaped him.
The lines "Maybe, all of these things make me who I am" and "I just want you to know" seem to be an appeal for understanding and validation. The singer is looking for someone to acknowledge and accept him, flaws and all.
