Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I know I know I know I know what you'd say yeah
I know I know I know I know all the games you play
I am I am I am I am not afraid yeah
Cause I know I know I know I know what to say

I feel it its coming its here if you want it
I am
Out on my own
Moving in shadow
Nobody knows who I am
Standing alone
And its me but you can't see who I am

I would like to rip you out of your skin
Id switch us around and put you back in
And I know I know I know I know what to say
But it couldn't be any other way

Cause I feel it
Its coming
Its here if you want it
And I am
Out on my own
Moving in shadow
Nobody knows who I am
Standing alone
And its me but you can see who I am

So close but you don't know
And its me but you can't see
So close but you don't know
And its me but you can't see
So close but you don't know
And its me but you can't see
So close but you don't know
And its me but you can't see
So close but you don't know
And its me but you can't see
So close but you don't know
And its me but you can't see
So close but you don't know
And its me but you can't see

I feel it its coming its here if you want it
I am
Out on my own
Moving in shadow
Nobody knows who I am
Standing alone
And its me but you can't see who I am

So close but you don't know
And its me but you're never gonna see who I am




So close but you don't know
And its me but you just can't see who I am

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Killing Heidi's song "I Am" express a sense of self-awareness, confidence, and frustration all at once. The repetition of "I know I know I know I know" and "I am I am I am I am" show that the singer is fully aware of themselves and their surroundings, and they're not afraid to show it. From the line, "I would like to rip you out of your skin, switch us around and put you back in," it's evident that the artist is so comfortable with who they are that they want others to see the world from their perspective. However, they also recognize that they are alone in their understanding, as no one else can really know what it's like to be them.


The chorus, "Out on my own, moving in shadow, nobody knows who I am," further emphasizes the singer's isolation, even though they're surrounded by others. There's a wistful longing in these words, as the singer seems to desire to be understood, yet doesn't expect it to happen. The repeated refrain, "So close but you don't know, and it's me but you can't see who I am," encapsulates the feeling of being alone in a crowd- despite being physically present, there's an emotional distance that can't be bridged. Overall, "I Am" is a powerful song about knowing oneself and the struggle to find connection in a world where everyone is a stranger.
