I Am
Godhead Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I am I am, I am
I live in your mind
You've seen me before
Can't leave me behind
I'll haunt evermore Created
By you Your failures and fears
For I am,
I am I am,
I am I am,
I am the one you hate
The one you hate
There is nothing real
For you to see Your
Life's so surreal
That's why you have me
For I am,
I am I am,
I am I am,
I am the one you hate
The one you hate
You run from me
But you can't see
You created me
You'll never be free
You run from me But
You can't see You created me
You'll never be free
For I am,
I am I am,
I am I am,
I am the one you hate
The one you hate
I am, I am I am,
I am I am,
I am the one you hate
The first thing that stands out in the lyrics of Godhead's "I Am" is the repeated phrase "I am". The song is written in a free-form style with no clear verses or choruses, which gives the lyrics a sense of urgency and repetitiveness. The singer claims to live in the listener's mind and to haunt them with their failures and fears. The repeated "I am" phrase can be interpreted as the singer's attempt to assert their own existence and relevance to the listener.
The second verse suggests that the listener's life is so surreal that they need the singer to make sense of it. The singer claims to be the one the listener hates, but also the one they continually run from without ever being able to escape. This creates a sense of entrapment or even madness, as the listener seems unable to shake the presence of the singer in their mind.
Overall, the song seems to be about the negative and self-destructive thoughts that can take hold of a person's mind. The singer might represent the listener's own inner critic, punishing them for their perceived mistakes and shortcomings. The repeated "I am" phrase is a stark reminder that these negative thoughts have a power of their own and can feel all-consuming. The song doesn't offer any clear solutions or messages of hope, but it does paint a vivid picture of the kind of psychological turmoil that can result from self-doubt.
