Lost Myself
Jordan Rakei Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I loan to stand with my eyes wide open
I lost myself for the most, the value of men
I dreamed a place so silent
I can see the darkness of the mind
I can see it praying
I can feel the rain
I can see the darkness of the mind
I can see it praying (see it praying)
I can feel the rain (feel the rain)
Fall down
I can see the darkness of the mind (darkness of the mind)
I can see it praying
I can feel the rain (the rain on it now)
Fall down (fall down)
I can see the darkness of the mind (darkness of the mind)
I can see it praying (I can see it praying)
I can feel the rain (can feel the rain)
Fall down
In Jordan Rakei's song "Lost Myself", the lyrics speak about losing oneself and then finding oneself again through the connection with another. The line "I lost my soul to yours, to find it again" speaks to the idea of surrendering oneself to another person in order to find oneself anew. This can be interpreted as a reference to a romantic relationship or a spiritual connection.
The following line "I loan to stand with my eyes wide open" suggests that the singer is ready to face the challenges that come with this newfound sense of self. The phrase "lost myself for the most, the value of men" is a reflection on the importance of personal growth and development, and how we may need to lose ourselves in order to truly find ourselves.
The rest of the lyrics focus on the idea of darkness and the suppression of emotions through prayer. The singer can "see the darkness of the mind" and how it can be alleviated through prayer, represented by the falling rain. This could be a reference to the struggles of mental health and how prayer or other forms of therapy can be used to cope and overcome.
Overall, the song speaks to the journey of self-discovery and the idea that sometimes we may need to lose ourselves in order to find ourselves again.

I lost my soul too young to find it again
I know to stand with my eyes wide open
I lost myself amongst the valley of men
I dreamt a place so silent
[Chorus]
I can see the darkness of the mind, I can see it prey
I can feel the rain, fall down (fall down)
I can see the darkness of the mind, I can see it pray (see the rain)

[Verse 1]
I lost my soul to yours, to find it again
I loan to stand with my eyes wide open
I lost myself amongst the valley of the shadow of death
I take a look at my life and realize there's nothin' left
'Cause I've been blastin' and laughin' so long
That even my momma thinks that my mind is gone
But I ain't never crossed a man that didn't deserve it
Me be treated like a punk, you know that's unheard of
You better watch how you talkin' and where you walkin'
Or you and your homies might be lined in chalk
I really hate to trip, but I gotta loc
As they croak, I see myself in the pistol smoke
Fool, I'm the kinda G that little homies wanna be like
On my knees in the night, sayin' prayers in the street light

when you come to comment and sweet that you've already commented. I've been listening to cloak since it dropped and it's a ever evolving classic. I keep finding new things to appreciate in each song. as a former Singer I appreciate how meticulous the creative process has been on this project, here's to an amazingly successful career for jraks.
