Who Am I
Craig David | www.Marvin-Vibez.in Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Adorning the infinite night sky
And I'm awaiting a sign
In form of a falling star
I'm walking in green
In search of a four-leaf clover
I need my hopes to be seen
And my words to be spoken
I try to be the best man I can
I've come so far don't understand
How to love myself more than everyone else
Tears in my eyes
Blurring the view on a future I'd like
And I'm wasting my time
Wishing on lashes I cause to fall
I'm out in the woods
Hiding under an oak tree from the storm
While I should be braving the rain
Roaring louder than thunder
I hold my heart in my hands
I try to be the best man I can
I've come so far don't understand
How to love myself more than everyone else
More than everyone else
Should I cheer me up when my head is down
And it's up to myself
To make changes so I get what I want
More than everyone else
Should I believe in the vision on my mind
All I have is myself
To complete this chasing after the sun
I'm more than everyone else is saying
Everyone else is seeing
Everyone else complaining
I'm more than everyone else is hating
Everyone else is loving
Everyone else betraying
More than everyone else
More than everyone else
More than everyone else
Or I'll never know
Oh I'll never know
Who I Really Am
In "Who Am I," Craig David reflects on his internal struggles to accept and love himself. The imagery of the "shimmering lights" and "infinite night sky" creates a sense of longing for direction and purpose. David is "awaiting a sign" in the form of a "falling star" as he searches for validation and meaning in his life. He further describes his search for confidence and hope, walking through the greenery in search of a "four-leaf clover" and wants his voice to be heard.
Despite acknowledging his own achievements and growth, David admits that he struggles to prioritize himself and his own happiness. He holds his heart in his hands, attempting to be the "best man [he] can" but feels uncertain about how to fully love himself above all others. Tears in his eyes blur his vision of a future he desires, and he feels he is wasting time wishing for success and happiness rather than taking action. David is left hiding from his problems instead of confronting them head-on.
However, the repeated refrain "I'm more than everyone else" and the question "Should I believe in the vision in my mind?" echoes David's attempts to push past his insecurities and embrace his unique identity. Despite feeling surrounded by those who doubt him and do not understand him, David ultimately concludes that he must focus on himself and strive to understand "Who [he] Really Am."

Lyrics:
Who am I? who am I? 2x
Finding myself tossing numbers out the window, when I come from the club
So many girls up in there, but I don't want none of them no
She's the only one that I want (the only one I want)
So I reach and turn the radio down
Feeling crazy just like I'm coming down with something
That there ain't no cure for, so I think I'm falling in for sure
Now ooh oh cause I barely recognize who's in the mirror anymore
Who am I? who am I? (Who am I?)
Even though I see the picture a little clearer than before
Who am I? who am I?
And everyday I'm looking straight at an imposter
She's drawing me in and I don't think that I can stop her
This ain't like me. This ain't like me.
Who am I? Who am I?
Finding myself changing schedules on the daily, just tryna make more time for my baby
Cause I don't get enough in the 24 hours
Swear I'd add some more if I only had the power
Ooh look how she's got me head over heels and I don't think no one can stop me
I'm falling falling for her (for this girl)
I'm falling falling for her
So I reach and turn the radio down
Feeling crazy just like I'm coming down with something
That there ain't no cure for, so I know I'm in love for sure
Cause I barely recognize who's in the mirror anymore
Who am I? who am I? (Who am I?)
Even though I see the picture a little clearer than before
Who am I? who am I?
And everyday I'm looking straight at an imposter
She's drawing me in and I don't think that I can stop her
This ain't like me. This ain't like me.
Who am I? who am I?
