Just Like Anyone
Black Milk Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
the shape I'm in was turning grey
but I was proud to fool me
the truth is hiding in my lies
the sparks I lit and sacrificed
are gone and keep their secret
so if you want to know me
but it's just the same
I'm like anyone
falling on the run
so if it's far too late
to turn the twist of fate
to burn the cards I played
faking just like anyone
it's all the same
though the hunger still remains
I'm out here just like anyone
and anyone is me
the walls I crashed fell down on me
still I feel I should believe
that it's alright with you
I see your face but I can't speak
embrace your arm but I'm too weak
to hold you by my side ...
so if you want to know me
I change my name
but it's just the same
I'm like anyone
falling on the run
so if it's far too late
to turn the twist of fate
to burn the cards I played
faking just like anyone
it's all the same
though the hunger still remains
I'm out here just like anyone
and anyone is me
so am I slowly but I never trained
though I know that I'm too blame
it's just a matter stupid wise
in another rhyme that hurts
and now like anyone
so if it's far too late
to turn the twist of fate
to burn the cards I played
faking just like anyone
it's all the same
though the hunger still remains
I'm out here just like anyone
and anyone is me
too late
to turn the twist of fate
to burn the cards I played
faking just like anyone
it's all the same
but the hunger still remains
I'm out here just like anyone
and anyone is me
The song Just Like Anyone by Black Milk is a reflection on the human experience of trying to find oneself and the frustration that comes with it. The lyrics open with the singer admitting that they have never been that way, suggesting that they may have tried to fit into a mold or follow a path that wasn't natural for them. The shape they are in is turning grey, suggesting that they are feeling lost or disconnected. However, they were proud to fool themselves and make themselves believe that they were on the right track when they weren't.
The truth is hiding in their lies, the sparks they lit and sacrificed are gone and keeping their secret, suggesting that they are struggling to face their true selves and have made sacrifices that they may regret. They change their name to try to reinvent themselves, but ultimately, they are falling on the run, just like anyone else who is trying to find their way. The hunger to be someone else or be different still remains, suggesting that they are not quite satisfied with who they are. The walls they crashed fell down on them, and they feel like they should believe that it's alright with the person they are addressing, but they can't speak or hold them by their side.
The chorus repeats, emphasizing that it's too late to turn the twist of fate, to burn the cards they played, and fake it just like anyone else. The hunger still remains, and anyone is just like them.

I have never been that way
I have never been the person I wanted to be
the shape I'm in was turning grey
I was unhappy and in a bad state of mind
but I was proud to fool me
I pretended to be happy even though I was not
the truth is hiding in my lies
I lied to cover up how I truly felt
the sparks I lit and sacrificed
I tried to change but it didn't work out
are gone and keep their secret
My attempts to change failed and no one knows
so if you want to know me
If someone wants to understand me
I change my name
I try to reinvent myself
but it's just the same
But I am still the same person
I'm like anyone
I am just like any other person facing hardships
falling on the run
Trying to keep moving forward despite struggles
so if it's far too late
If it's too late to make a change
to turn the twist of fate
To change the course of my life
to burn the cards I played
To forget my past and start anew
faking just like anyone
Hiding my true emotions like anyone else would
it's all the same
No matter what I do or how hard I try, the struggles remain the same
though the hunger still remains
Despite the challenges, the desire to improve still persists
I'm out here just like anyone
I'm just trying to survive like anyone else
and anyone is me
I am one with everyone else facing similar circumstances
the walls I crashed fell down on me
My previous attempts at change ended up causing me pain
still I feel I should believe
However, I still have hope for change
that it's alright with you
That you are okay with who I am
I see your face but I can't speak
I am struggling to open up to you
embrace your arm but I'm too weak
I want to reach out to you, but I don't know how
to hold you by my side ...
To rely on you for support
so am I slowly but I never trained
I am trying to improve myself, but I don't have the tools to do so
though I know that I'm too blame
I know I am responsible for my own struggles
it's just a matter stupid wise
It's a foolish thing to hope for a change that may not come
in another rhyme that hurts
Trying to move on but still feeling pain
too late
It's too late to make any drastic changes in my life
