Who Am I
Mary Courage Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
With so many unanswered questions
How I wish I could turn back time
Get a wish to undo everything
I don't know who I am without you
I've completely lost myself
Who-who-who am I (who am I?)
So now I am here
Trapped in a room that looks like my own
How am I supposed to solve this damn riddle
When I don't even know who I am ?
I don't know who I am without you
I've completely lost myself
Who-who-who am I (who am I?)
Who-who-who am I (who am I?)
Mary Courage's song "Who Am I" is a heartfelt plea from someone who has been left alone and confused by their significant other. The first verse describes the feeling of abandonment, as the person is left stranded in the dark with many unanswered questions. The regretful tone of the lyrics is expressed in the line "How I wish I could turn back time, get a wish to undo everything." The second verse is the chorus, which repeats the question "Who-who-who am I (who am I?)" as the person struggles to figure out who they are without their partner. Finally, the third verse describes the frustration of feeling trapped in a room that looks like their own, unable to solve the mystery of their own identity.
The song deals with the theme of identity and self-discovery, which is something that many people can relate to. The lyrics express the fear of losing oneself when a relationship ends, and the struggle to find meaning when everything you thought you knew is suddenly gone. It is a song that conveys both vulnerability and strength, as the person tries to find their way back to themselves.

Another homerun of a video. But then i noticed something, you never ask for likes and "hitting that subscribe button". So i think its up to us to bring in more members to this amazing family. I'm planning to start a new Instagram account so I'll make sure people know of you.
