It Ain't Me
Lor-Enzo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Did you think I would come undone?
Only echoes of your trespassing
You are stumbling into my grounds
And when everyone is a scientist
We learn to bend the truth
But we suffer the same misfortune
And I'll show you what's inside of me
If you'll promise to forget this day
Only landscapes here of solitude
So behold and be on your way
And when everything comes falling down
We always know who to blame
Could you carry my misfortunes
If I show you all this pain?
I'd rather be alone and hopeless
When our hearts are on the line
I'd rather run forever than stand here
I'd rather save your soul than mine
I'd rather be alone and hopeless
When our hearts are on the line
I'd rather run forever than stand here
I'd rather save your soul than mine
Are you the non-believer
In this non-believing world?
I'm the huntress and the deceiver
I'd believe you if I could
I'd rather be alone and hopeless
When our hearts are on the line
I'd rather run forever than stand here
I'd rather save your soul than mine
I'd rather be alone and hopeless
When our hearts are on the line
I'd rather run forever than stand here
I'd rather save your soul than mine
The lyrics to Lor-Enzo's song "It Ain't Me" explore themes of individuality, self-preservation, and the consequences of vulnerability. The song opens with the singer addressing an unknown person who has been trying to pry into their private world, questioning the motives behind their inquisition. The singer asserts their own strength and independence, warning the other person against trespassing into their personal space. They go on to muse about the ways in which people bend the truth, and the paradoxical ways in which shared suffering can sometimes isolate us rather than bring us together.
As the chorus repeats, the singer reiterates their desire for solitude and self-protection, insisting that they would rather be alone and hopeless than risk exposing their own heart to danger. However, the outro takes a surprising turn, with the singer acknowledging their own deceitful tendencies and expressing a desire to believe in something or someone else. This final line is especially poignant in the context of the rest of the song, suggesting that even when we try to protect ourselves from vulnerability and pain, there is always an underlying desire to connect and find common ground with others.
Line by Line Meaning
Your inquisitions of me unanswered
You've asked me questions that I haven't answered yet
Did you think I would come undone?
Did you believe that I would break down under pressure?
Only echoes of your trespassing
The only thing left of you on my property are echoes of your presence
You are stumbling into my grounds
You are accidentally intruding on my personal space
And when everyone is a scientist
When everyone tries to know everything
We learn to bend the truth
We become skilled in manipulating the truth
But we suffer the same misfortune
But we all still experience hardships in life
So why should I want to hide it from you?
So why should I want to keep my struggles secret from you?
And I'll show you what's inside of me
I am willing to reveal my true self to you
If you'll promise to forget this day
If you agree to keep this day a secret
Only landscapes here of solitude
This place is only filled with loneliness and isolation
So behold and be on your way
Take a look, but then leave
And when everything comes falling down
When everything goes wrong
We always know who to blame
We always point fingers and assign blame
Could you carry my misfortunes
Are you able to take on my troubles
If I show you all this pain?
If I reveal all my suffering and pain to you?
I'd rather be alone and hopeless
I'd prefer to be alone and without hope
When our hearts are on the line
When our emotions are vulnerable
I'd rather run forever than stand here
I'd prefer to run away than confront the situation
I'd rather save your soul than mine
I'd prefer to protect you, even if it means sacrificing myself
Are you the non-believer
Are you skeptical and don't believe in anything?
In this non-believing world?
In a world where people don't believe in much?
I'm the huntress and the deceiver
I'm the one who hunts and deceives
I'd believe you if I could
I want to believe in you, but it's difficult
