Myself
From Zero Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I started listening to my voice of reason
And you know it tells me every time
Just to walk away

But suddenly I found myself
With back against the wall
And every little thing tears me up inside
There's something good that will come of this
And I know it's true
It's like the time I once had before
I fell into you

All by myself, I'll take you for a while
All by myself these days

I feel the circle coming back around
And don't you know it's telling me what's in sight
There was a time when I could not decide
The reasons why
Everybody goes through this

There's got to be something beautiful
In this world of mine
Search for the meaning and when we're close
We run out of time

All by myself, I'll take you for a while
All by myself these days

Come full circle
Search for meaning




Hope for something
As we run and we run out of time

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to From Zero's song "Myself" seem to be about a person who is struggling to let go of someone or something that is causing them pain. The first verse talks about a "voice of reason" that tells the person to walk away, but they find themselves unable to do so. The imagery of being backed against a wall suggests a feeling of being trapped or powerless. The person is highly emotional and seems to be "torn up" inside by whatever is plaguing them.


The chorus offers some hope in the form of the belief that "something good" will come of this situation. The mention of "the time I once had before / I fell into you" implies that the person had a life before this troublesome situation or relationship, and that they long to return to that simpler time. However, they are currently "all by myself" and struggling to cope with their pain. The second verse offers more perspective on the situation, acknowledging that everyone goes through struggles like this and that there must be "something beautiful" in the world to balance out the pain. The last line of the song is a call to action, urging the listener to keep searching for meaning and hope, even when it feels like time is running out.


Overall, "Myself" feels like a highly emotional and introspective song that speaks to the universal experience of pain and longing. It offers some hope in the form of the belief that good things can come out of difficult situations, but it also acknowledges the difficulty of moving on from something that holds such a strong emotional grip.
