What You See
Isis Gee Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
This solder
Chip lying
On your shoulder
You gonna take it or leave it this time?
And the message Confesses
No room for consequences
But all senses leaving me blind
With evidence clear
It's a better day now
I can move on with my life
Drawing my line in the sand
It's a better day now
Won't cross it again
Cause I wouldn't change
Not for a minute
What you see is what you're getting
So you can
Take it or
Or Leave it
What You See
Is What You Get
And I wouldn't change
Not for a million
Wouldn't exchange
The way that I'm living
And so you finally see
I'm loving me.
My mind is made up with it
So take it or leave it
Does anybody out there hear me?
Anybody long to be free?
There's a better day
A time to say
Take it or leave
Well I'm a masterpiece
In this life
Can't fathom the reasons
So don't even go there this time
And my choices, Rejoicing
Bare fruit in truth I'm voicing
Push to shove
I'm stronger on my own
With evidence clear
It's a better day now
I can move on with my life
Drawing my line in the sand
It's a better day now
Won't cross it again
Cause I wouldn't change
Not for a minute
What you see is what you're getting
So you can
Take it or
Or Leave it
What You See
Is What You Get
And I wouldn't change
Not for a million
Wouldn't exchange
The way that I'm living
And so you finally see
I'm loving me
My mind is made up with it
So take it or leave it
No longer small
I'm standing tall
I can finally breathe
Loving me for me
And all that I can be
You know that I am art
The most sacred part
The one who gave her time
All of her heart
You know that I believe
You helped me to achieve
The love I'm feeling
Feeling from the inside out now
For myself it's clear
And that's why
I'm standing right here
And so you finally see I'm loving me
For all that I can be
I wouldn't change
Not for a minute
What you see is what you'e getting
So you can
Take it or
Or Leave it
What You See
Is What You Get
And I wouldn't change
Not for a million
Wouldn't exchange
The way that I'm living
And so you finally see
I'm loving me
My mind is made up with it
So take it or leave it
Isis Gee's song "What You See" is about self-acceptance and standing up for oneself. The opening lines "All over, this solder, chip lying on your shoulder, you gonna take it or leave it this time?" suggest that the singer has faced criticism or negativity from an external source but is ready to draw a line in the sand and either be accepted for who they are or move on. The chorus reinforces this sentiment with the lyrics "What you see is what you're getting, so you can take it or leave it." The singer refuses to change who they are for anyone else's sake and asserts their right to live life on their own terms.
The song also contains a theme of personal growth and empowerment. The lines "With evidence clear, it's a better day now, I can move on with my life, drawing my line in the sand, it's a better day now, won't cross it again" suggest that the singer has reached a turning point in their life where they are no longer willing to compromise themselves for others. They have made peace with themselves and are now free to move forward and pursue their dreams. The lines "No longer small, I'm standing tall, I can finally breathe, loving me for me and all that I can be" further emphasize this sense of personal growth and freedom.
Overall, "What You See" is a powerful anthem of self-love and self-acceptance. It encourages listeners to embrace who they are and not be afraid to assert themselves and their boundaries.
