Identity Crisis
Insight Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When i'm with you every thing is fine
We like the same things you and I
But you changed-
How could you change
Your feelings So fast?

ARE YOUR THOUGHTS REALLY YOURS?
ARE YOUR FEELINGS REALLY YOURS?
ARE YOUR DREAMS REALLY YOURS?

My back is turned you're with someone else
I haven't changed but you-
No longer feel the same
Why is your identity such a crisis?
Does it mean that much to change-
Because of what someone else thinks?





DO YOU REALLY KNOW WHO YOU ARE?
DO YOU REALLY KNOW WHAT YOU WANT?
