Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
cause my life's a grip and that grip is what keeps hanging on, can someone tell me what I'm seeing it's something lost but still I'm reaching, there's nothing left that could keep me hanging on {chorus} you said you needed a ride home, front seat three others in the back, I looked at you asked if you are ok said yes now we're off on our way now turn your heads against the glass too much to late you're moving fast, rolling rolling the window down ride changed when I heard the sound, can someone tell me what I'm seeing it's something lost but still I'm reaching, there's nothing left that could keep me hanging on {chorus}
In E.D.M. Nation's song "Myself", the singer is expressing a sense of confusion and detachment. They ask for someone to explain to them what they are seeing, as they feel lost and disconnected from their surroundings. Despite feeling as though they are losing something important, they continue to reach for it. The only thing that the singer misses is themselves, which suggests a sense of identity crisis or feeling like they have lost sight of who they are.
The use of the pendulum metaphor in the lyrics highlights the singer's struggle to balance the things that matter to them, and how sometimes they feel pulled in opposing directions. Faced with this difficulty, the singer chooses to let go of what they can't hold onto and move forward.
The chorus, which repeats the line "the only thing I miss is myself", emphasizes the personal and introspective nature of the song's message. The singer's friends are a source of support, but ultimately it is up to the singer to reclaim their sense of self.
