Lose Myself
Caskets Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Killing me killing me
Do you think that I kicked it
I feel it in myself
Breaking it breaking it
Anything for a mere hit
And I try to be somebody else
Because i’m at it again
Pulling me pulling me
To the depths and I’ve faded
It takes me
Right from the start
I'm fading now
You say i’m the monster in your fairytale
And I didn’t save you when you called for help
I’m fighting for my life while you drag my reputation
Through the dirt until the very end
I don’t wanna lose myself, lose myself
I’ve already lost
I’m coming back again
Killing it killing it
Do you think that I made it
I feel it in myself
Breaking it breaking it
And I just can’t stop it
And I try be somebody who could recognise themselves
Then it happens again
You say i’m the monster in your fairytale
And I didn’t save you when you called for help
I’m fighting for my life while you drag my reputation
Through the dirt until the very end
I don’t wanna lose myself, lose myself
I don’t wanna lose myself, lose myself
You lied, I broke
Inside your world of make believe
But who's to say, what i’ll be
Maybe they’ll see the best of me
Lose myself, lose myself
I could myself
Lose myself, lose myself
I could myself
Lose myself, lose myself
I could myself
Lose myself, lose myself
I could myself
I’ve already lost
You say i’m the monster in your fairytale
And I didn’t save you when you called for help
I’m fighting for my life while you drag my reputation
Through the dirt until the very end
I don’t wanna lose myself, lose myself
I don’t wanna lose myself, lose myself
I’ve already lost
In "Lose Myself," Caskets explores the theme of battling addiction and trying to break away from the destructive cycle of substance abuse. The opening lines of the song, "It's coming back again, killing me, killing me," convey the sense of helplessness that comes with addiction. The singer is fully aware of the harmful effects of their addiction, yet they continue to indulge in it, as reflected in the line, "Anything for a mere hit."
The song touches upon the idea of trying to escape from oneself, to become someone else, but ultimately failing and returning to the same destructive patterns. The lines, "And I try to be somebody else, but fall back to myself, because I'm at it again, pulling me, pulling me, to the depths and I've faded," suggest the cyclical nature of addiction, where the person tries to break away but keeps falling back into the same patterns.
The chorus is a poignant plea to not lose oneself completely to the addictive habits and to fight back against societal prejudices that can further lead to a negative self-image. The bridge comes across as a hopeful note, suggesting the possibility of redemption and a new beginning albeit with the realization that certain mistakes cannot be undone.
