Weightless
Natasha Bedingfield Lyrics

I have to keep reminding myself
It is important to constantly remember not to compare oneself to others.

I'm not like anyone else
Each person is unique and incomparable to others.

That's my face on my ID
One's identity is validated and represented by official documentation.

That makes me V.I.P.
Being an individual person with a unique identity makes one very important.

No one exactly like this
There is no identical replica of every individual's unique identity.

No one with my fingerprints
Biologically, there is no one else with the same fingerprints as the individual.

No one can touch you like me
No one else can offer the specific touch and perspective that the individual can provide.

No I can't fake what you see
The individual cannot pretend to be someone else than who they are.

They told me: "Girl, to get you're way, you've got to be a bitch!"
Society often teaches people to be aggressive and unkind to get what they want.

They say that: "A guy won't get the girl, if he's not filthy rich!"
Society often teaches men that money is the most important factor in attracting a partner.

You stop with little changes,
People often relinquish parts of their identity little by little in order to fit within societal expectations.

'Til you don't know who you are
This process of changing leads to a point where one loses sight of their true identity.

Surround yourself with friends
The people around someone have a big influence on their life.

Who only call you a superstar
It is important to surround oneself with people who uplift and cherish their unique identity.

The sky is the limit
There is no inherent limit to one's abilities and aspirations.

And I just wanna flow
The individual wants to move and progress freely without any barriers.

Free as a spirit on a journey of hope
The individual metaphorically wants to be a free-spirited person who is always moving towards hope and positivity.

Cut the strings and let me go
The individual wants to break free from any limiters holding them down.

I'm weightless, I'm weightless
Breaking free from any limitations makes the individual feel light and carefree.

Millions of balloons heading to the ground
The weight of societal expectations is pulling people down.

Weight of the world tries to hold us down
Refers to the problems and pressures of the world that bring people down and restrict them from growing freely.

All the things I held in my fist
The individual is holding on to certain elements in their life very tightly.

If I don't let go, I don't exist
The individual feels like they will cease to exist if they don't let go of these elements.

They've become the things that define me
These things that the individual is holding on to define their identity currently.

How I look and the things to buy me
The individual's appearance and material belongings have become a part of their identity.

That's not important anymore
The individual realizes that these things are not important to their true identity anymore.

I feel me rising off the floor
Letting go of these elements lifts the individual up.

Light as a feather, I'm carefree
The weightlessness experienced by the individual makes them feel very light and carefree.

It seems to me you're so heavy,
The burden of societal expectations is very heavy for some people.

And weighs you down like that
This weight holds people back from reaching their full potential.

Don't wanna be someone I hate
The individual doesn't wish to become someone they dislike in order to fit in with societal expectations.

'Cause that too makes no sense
This idea doesn't make sense because it means losing one's true identity and becoming someone they are not.
