Who you are
Lunatica Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Frozen and broken
Don't know where you're going
Losing your identity
You're so caught up in hiding
But everybody sees

[Chorus]
You're never gonna feel
You're never gonna heal
You're never gonna know what's fake or real
'Til you know who you are
You're lying to your face
And running in a race
You're never gonna win 'til you find your place
And you know who you are

You're crawling and falling
But no one hears you calling
When you're in a world of glass
'Til your bubble bursts
And the true you's first
You're always coming last

[Chorus]

You take yourself apart
To medicate your pain




Why is it so hard
To believe in you again

Overall Meaning

The song "Who You Are" by Lunatica is a poignant take on the struggles we face in life when we lose sight of ourselves. The lyrics begin by talking about feeling "Frozen and broken" and not knowing where you're going. This is a common feeling for people who have lost touch with their identity and are so caught up in hiding who they truly are that they can't seem to move forward. Despite feeling like they are the only ones who feel this way, the singer reminds us that everybody sees this struggle.


The chorus of the song emphasizes the importance of knowing who you are. The lyrics suggest that without this knowledge, you can't heal, and you won't know what's real or fake. The song encourages listeners to find their place in the world, and to stop running in a race they can't win until they remember their true selves.


The verse beneath the chorus speaks about the pains of isolation and the feeling of being unheard or misunderstood. The verse suggests that being in a world of glass is uncomfortable but necessary to burst the bubble that hides the true self. Lunatica's song "Who You Are" encourages people to stop medicating their pain by taking themselves apart and instead, to believe in themselves.

Parte 126:

23/10/21

¿Que sigues haciendo aquí?
¿Porque no te vas? ¿Porque no me voy? ¿Porque seguimos aquí?

En cierta forma estaba arto de ti, de tus inseguridades, tu indecisión, tus cumplidos sin amor, tu preocupación por mi sin corazón, todo!

Pero ese sábado... Fue extraño, desde hace unos pocos días atrás escuchaba una voz en mi mente que no se callaba diciéndome : "ten fe"

Y lo sé, me comporte muy gentil contigo, muy amable y muy amoroso y aunque me dijiste que ya fue, no me sentí tan mal porque sabía que volverías, no estaba seguro como ni porque pero lo sabía.

Abrazarte, tocar tus manos, darte tus nalgadas (ay que rico), tocar tus pechos fue tan genial, tan bonito y me transporte en otro momento, donde seguíamos siendo felices y ese era el futuro.

Si, cuando leas esto es porque ya somos casi esposos, te lo aseguro pero antes tenias que hacer algo importante para ti antes de entregarte a mi y sería una gran travesía.

No tardes madre de mis hijos...

Zmražený a rozbitý
nevím, kam kráčíš
ztrácíš svou identitu
jsi tak lapen ve svém úkrytu
ale všichni tě vidí
Refrén:
Nikdy nic neucítíš
nikdy se neuzdravíš
nikdy nepoznáš, co je faleš a co skutečnost
dokud víš, kdo jsi
lžeš si do tváře
a utíkáš v závodě
který nikdy nevyhraješ, dokud nenajdeš své místo
a budeš vědět, kdo jsi
Křičíš a padáš,
Ale nikdo neslyší tvé volání
Když jsi ve světě ze skla
dokud tvá bublina nepraskne
a pravda je první
zatímco ty vždy přicházíš poslední
Refrén:
Odděl sám sebe
chceš-li vyléčit svou bolest
Proč je to tak těžké
Znovu v tebe věřit

there is a very real lesson that can be learned by lunaticas music, the lyrics of this song and several others clearly teach positive lessons, thats why they are among my most favored bands

@Inu501

With this song I knew Who I am, What I was born for, I was born to know this song! And this song was written to be my favorite song forever!

@RosieYoungUrs4ever

Just found this song/band, and I'm already hypnotized with the first few words outta her mouth. Now, the chorus plays and I'm entranced!

@user-nh1qg3yd5q

One of their best songs. A song for the personal identity.

@musiconly9813

When I first heard this song, I had been through 10 out of 11 years of school being bullied. I'm 27 now, haven't recovered after being bullied for so long, and this song still helps me feel better when I listen to it

@eronktastic

Definitely adding this song to my inspiration playlist. It's actually helpful to me. ^_^

@Areya-Sunshine

@jeversongomes7281

Maravilhosaa 😍

@isaiahwelch8066

After suffering a betrayal of the worst kind, I had to re-learn this lesson -- because the worst thing you can do is to tie your own self-identity to someone else, instead of standing on your own. Because if you always need the validation of others, then you become a social chameleon, and you lose what makes you, you. Who you are.

And not knowing yourself is one of the worst mistakes you can make. Better to know yourself than to be what others want you to be -- because nobody knows you better than you do.
