Find Yourself
John O'Callaghan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You could fade, you could fade away
Bright lights on a starless night
Burn a hole in the dying day
Looking at life through a loaded gun
Take your best shot, aim it at the sun
Looking at life through a loaded gun
You'll find yourself
You'll find yourself alone
You'll find yourself
You'll find yourself
Drawn into the darkness here
With your eyes on the prize at stake
Faint hearts on an endless path
Letting go of the ones we break
Looking at life through a loaded gun
Take your best shot, aim it at the sun
Looking at life through a loaded gun
You know you'll find
You'll find yourself
You'll find yourself alone
You'll find yourself
You'll find yourself
Drawn into the backdrop here
You could fade, you could fade away
Bright lights on a starless night
Burn a hole in the dying day
Looking at life through a loaded gun
Take your best shot, aim it at the sun
Looking at life through a loaded gun
You know you'll find
You'll find yourself
You'll find yourself alone
You'll find yourself
You'll find yourself
The lyrics of "Find Yourself" by John O'Callaghan express a sense of detachment and isolation from the world. The backdrop is a metaphor for life, and the singer suggests that you could easily fade away into the background of it. The bright lights on a starless night represent the hope of something more, even in the midst of despair. The line "burn a hole in the dying day" refers to the fact that sometimes we need to inflict damage in order to make an impact or find some meaning in our lives.
The chorus begins with "Looking at life through a loaded gun," which implies that life can be dangerous and unpredictable. Taking a shot at the sun doesn't guarantee success, but it reflects the desire to achieve something great. The singer encourages the listener to find themselves, even though it may take being alone to do so. The repetition of the chorus reinforces the idea that finding oneself is a journey that requires effort and courage.
Overall, "Find Yourself" is a song that speaks to the difficulty of navigating life and finding meaning. It acknowledges the struggle of feeling lost and alone, but also encourages the listener to keep searching for purpose and fulfillment.
