Insecure
Elohim Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Myself like you′re seeing me
I wouldn't be so obsessed
With being somebody else
Imagine if I was free
From all the self-deprecating disease
Compare myself to the screen
And all the fake, plastic, glorified dreams
Insecure and I don′t know why
It's just you and I, I think it's all in my head
I′m insecure and I don′t know why
Sometimes I wanna die, I don't know why
What if I was okay
With being mad strange
Imagine if I escape all the feelings I hate
And not break all the habits that told me I′m damaged
Maybe then I'd believe
When you say I′m pretty, I'm pretty, I′m pretty
Insecure and I don't know why
It's just you and I, I think it′s all in my head
I′m insecure and I don't know why
Sometimes I wanna die, I don′t know why
Camouflage to hide my flaws
It's only in my head, it′s not my soul, I think I'll let it go
Hanging on to silly thoughts
They′re only in my head, it's not my heart, I gotta let it go
Insecure and I don't know why
It′s just you and I, I think it′s all in my head
Elohim's song Insecure is a heartfelt exploration of the human condition of insecurity. The song is an introspective look into the artist's mind, where she ponders about what it would be like to see herself as others see her. She imagines that if she could see herself through someone else's eyes, she would not be so consumed with the need to be someone other than herself. She is someone who is "obsessed with being somebody else." This suggests that her self-doubt is making her feel that she's not good enough as she is.
Despite the positive feedback from others, Elohim cannot shake off her self-deprecating thoughts, which are caused by the artificial and sterile world presented through the media. She feels that the images on screens amplify these same sentiments, casting a shadow on her thoughts and feelings. Elohim acknowledges that these are battles that she has to face alone. It's both an indictment of and a cry for help about the societal pressure to conform to a certain image of beauty.
The chorus is a lamentation of Elohim's insecurities, which are consuming her. She feels overwhelmed by her feelings and cannot explain why she is insecure. Nonetheless, she hints that it's in her head, which indicates that her insecurities may stem from negative self-talk. Elohim confesses that she wants to feel better but doesn't know how to overcome these feelings of self-hatred. She adds that she is willing to let it go to find inner peace. Insecure is an empowerment song that aims to inspire listeners to confront their fears and embrace positivity.

Lyrics
Ringkasan
Lyric
Bayangkan jika saya bisa melihat
Imagine if I could see
Diriku seperti kamu melihatku
Myself like you're seeing me
Saya tidak akan begitu terobsesi
I wouldn't be so obsessed
Dengan menjadi orang lain
With being somebody else
Bayangkan jika saya bebas
Imagine if I was free
Dari semua penyakit yang mencela diri sendiri
From all the self-deprecating disease
Bandingkan diri saya dengan layar
Compare myself to the screen
Dan semua mimpi palsu, plastik, yang dimuliakan
And all the fake, plastic, glorified dreams
Tidak aman dan saya tidak tahu mengapa
Insecure and I don't know why
Hanya Anda dan saya, saya pikir itu semua ada di kepala saya
It's just you and I, I think it's all in my head
Saya tidak aman dan saya tidak tahu mengapa
I'm insecure and I don't know why
Terkadang aku ingin mati, aku tidak tahu kenapa
Sometimes I wanna die, I don't know why
Bagaimana jika aku baik-baik saja?
What if I was okay
Dengan menjadi gila aneh
With being mad strange
Bayangkan jika aku lepas dari semua perasaan yang aku benci
Imagine if I escape all the feelings I hate
Dan tidak mematahkan semua kebiasaan yang memberitahuku bahwa aku rusak
And not break all the habits that told me I'm damaged
Mungkin saat itu aku akan percaya
Maybe then I'd believe
Saat kamu bilang aku cantik, aku cantik, aku cantik
When you say I'm pretty, I'm pretty, I'm pretty
Tidak aman dan saya tidak tahu mengapa
Insecure and I don't know why
Hanya Anda dan saya, saya pikir itu semua ada di kepala saya
It's just you and I, I think it's all in my head
Saya tidak aman dan saya tidak tahu mengapa
I'm insecure and I don't know why
Terkadang aku ingin mati, aku tidak tahu kenapa
Sometimes I wanna die, I don't know why
Kamuflase untuk menyembunyikan kekuranganku
Camouflage to hide my flaws
Itu hanya di kepalaku, itu bukan jiwaku, kupikir aku akan melepaskannya
It's only in my head, it's not my soul, I think I'll let it go
Bergantung pada pikiran konyol
Hanging on to silly thoughts
Mereka hanya ada di kepalaku, itu bukan hatiku, aku harus melepaskannya
They're only in my head, it's not my heart, I gotta let it go
Tidak aman dan saya tidak tahu mengapa
Insecure and I don't know why
Hanya Anda dan saya, saya pikir itu semua ada di kepala saya
It's just you and I, I think it's all in my head
