Lose Myself
Josh Wantie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Can I wake up from this dream
We were raised by lights that flickered in the night
We got everything we need
But we wanted to believe
We were poisoned by the kings that came before us
Can’t sleep at all past midnight
What more can I do to feel right
It’s just a matter of time
Before I lose my mind
And if I Lose myself
Would you get me home would you get me home now now
And would you hear the sound if my heart beats slow
If my heart beats slow now now I need to know
See this Game it’s play to lose
I tried to shift I tried I tried to move
Just like a ship without a sail
Still going nowhere
Coz I made my bed gotta see it through
Will I be the king will I be the fool
Will you hold when the night gets cold
Coz I need you close When the fires gone
And if I Lose Myself
Would you get me home would you get me home now now
And would you hear the sound if my heart beats slow
If my heart beats slow now now I need to know
The lyrics to Josh Wantie's song "Lose Myself" convey a sense of longing and vulnerability. The first verse sets up the idea of feeling lost and disconnected, as indicated by the line "See the cracks we fell between." The dream metaphor implies a desire to escape from this state and find a sense of purpose or fulfillment.
The next line, "We were raised by lights that flickered in the night," suggests that the individual's upbringing may have been unstable or uncertain. They acknowledge having everything they needed, but also wanting something more, which ultimately led to disappointment. They feel "poisoned by the kings that came before us," possibly referring to societal expectations or past influences that hinder their ability to find themselves.
The second paragraph emphasizes the struggle to find peace and contentment. The inability to sleep past midnight suggests a restless mind, symbolized by being "caught blind like a deer in the headlights." The singer questions what more they can do to find a sense of satisfaction but realizes it's just a matter of time before they start losing their mind. This line speaks to the escalating frustration and mental strain they are experiencing.
In the chorus, the singer is looking for reassurance and validation from someone else. They wonder if this person would be there to guide them home if they lose themselves, and if they will be noticed when their heart beats slowly, signifying vulnerability and emotional turmoil. They yearn for support and understanding in their darkest moments.
The final verse discusses the uncertainty and fear of the future. The game metaphor implies that life is a challenging path, and the singer tries to make moves to change their circumstances but feels like a ship without a sail, going nowhere. They question whether they will be successful or make foolish decisions and express the need for someone close when confronted by the cold nights and fading fires. This line conveys a desire for emotional warmth and connection during difficult times.
Overall, "Lose Myself" explores themes of disconnection, longing, and the search for meaning and support in the face of internal struggles. It portrays an individual in a vulnerable state, grappling with their identity and seeking solace from someone they hope will be there for them.

We were raised by lights that flickered in the night
Our upbringing was influenced by unstable and uncertain circumstances
We got everything we need
We have all the necessary resources and opportunities
But we wanted to believe
However, we desired to have faith in something greater
We were poisoned by the kings that came before us
The past rulers and leaders have negatively affected our current situation
Can’t sleep at all past midnight
I am unable to find peace and rest as the night progresses
Caught blind like a deer in the headlights
Feeling completely surprised and helpless in a difficult situation
What more can I do to feel right
I wonder what additional actions I can take to find internal satisfaction
It’s just a matter of time
I believe that eventually, things will fall into place and make sense
Before I lose my mind
Before I completely lose control of my thoughts and emotions
And if I Lose myself
If I become lost and overwhelmed by my circumstances
Would you get me home would you get me home now now

Would you pay attention to the signs of my emotional struggle and vulnerability
I need to know
I desperately seek reassurance and understanding
See this Game it’s play to lose
This life is a challenge where failure is a common outcome
I tried to shift I tried I tried to move
I made attempts to change and improve my circumstances
Just like a ship without a sail
Similar to a boat without a guiding force, I feel directionless
Still going nowhere
Despite my efforts, I am not making any progress
Coz I made my bed gotta see it through
Because I am responsible for the choices and actions I have taken, I must follow through with them
Will I be the king will I be the fool
I wonder if I will achieve success or face failure in my endeavors
Will you hold when the night gets cold
Will you offer me comfort and support when times get tough
Coz I need you close When the fires gone
Because when I feel empty and exhausted, I rely on your presence and love
And if I Lose Myself
And if I become lost in my struggles and challenges
Would you get me home would you get me home now now
Would you be there for me and guide me back to a place of security and stability
And would you hear the sound if my heart beats slow
Would you listen and notice the signs of my emotional distress and weariness
If my heart beats slow now now I need to know
In this moment of emotional vulnerability, I urgently seek reassurance and understanding
