Mission Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I can't stop myself from needing
If I could stop myself from lying, I would
But I can't stop hiding who I really am
And I live this life
A life that's not mine
It's one that I love but don't deserve
If I could stop myself from hurting, I would
If I could make you smile, I wouldn't hate myself
And you live with my lie
A lie that's not yours
It's one that you bear but don't deserve
If I could stop myself from living
If I could stop myself from needing
If I could stop myself
If I could stop myself from lying, I would
But I can't stop hiding who I really am
The song "If" by Mission is a poignant expression of self-reflection and self-awareness. Through the lyrics, the singer expresses their desire to stop hurting and lying, but they are unable to do so because of their deep-rooted needs and the fear of being their true self. The singer is living a life that they love, but they feel like they do not deserve it. They are feeling trapped in their own life, and it seems like the only way out is to stop living or to stop needing.
The singer also reflects on the impact of their actions on others, particularly on the person they are addressing. The singer asks if the other person can make them believe that they are happy, it suggests that the singer is unsure of the other person's happiness, and maybe they are taking some responsibility for it. The other person is also living with the burden of the singer's lie, which they do not deserve.
The song is a reflection of the human condition, and the struggles we face within ourselves. We often hold ourselves back because of our fears, and a lot of times, we are not honest about who we are. The song speaks to the internal battles we face, and the emotional toll it takes on us and those around us.

@Jorge Maldonado what motivated you to make that comment.
Does it make you feel cool to be cynical and waste your life leaving snide replies on the comments of strangers.
Is your life so empty? Are you that miserable?
I hope not, because searching trailers you don’t care about in order to reply to strangers telling them “who cares” when clearly they do, sounds like the biggest waste of a life you could have.
If god ws real I’d love to see you try and justify that you didn’t waste your life and why you should get into heaven
What you really meant was “I don’t care” but you didn’t say that because you know consciously or otherwise that makes you sound even more sad and self important that you did the first time.
You don’t care about MI movies, and you don’t care so much you decided to immortalise it online.
Hopefully you’re just a kid, that would explain it.
otherwise you are in dire need of a hobby.
