Nico started a successful career as a model in Berlin and Paris, studied acting at Lee Strasberg's New York Actor Studio. She then became part of the Swinging London scene, and had a short relationship with The Rolling Stones' Brian Jones and she recorded her first record in London in 1965, the single I'm Not Saying/The Last Mile, produced by Jimmy Page, for Rolling Stones manager Andrew Loog Oldham's label Immediate Records. Thanks to Jones she met Andy Warhol in New York City and became part of Warhol's Factory, and Warhol introduced her to the Rock band The Velvet Underground, with whom she recorded the album "The Velvet Underground & Nico", featuring the legendary banana cover designed by Andy Warhol. The album has been named by numerous publications as one of the top 100 albums of all time, and is often considered one of history's 10 most influential albums by critics.
Nico later recorded several solo albums, including the folksy Chelsea Girl in 1967, followed by original albums such as The Marble Index and Desertshore, which were much darker and avant garde in style. She released several more albums throughout the 1970s and 1980s, including The End..., but died in 1988 from a cerebral hemorrhage after falling from her bike in Ibiza, Spain. She is buried in Berlin, next to her mother.

I am
Nico Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've been alone, alone
Fuck
Up in the attic i'm stuck
I've run out of my luck
Tragedy struck
I've been loving for nothing
Seen the pain coming
Sleepless at night
So sick of trying
But fuck it i might
Ignore all the signs
I'm flying too close to the sun
Been on my own for too long
I only find solace in writing these songs
Please diagnose me what's wrong?
I tried to stay strong
I'm calling and calling
And still ain't no answer from god
Been on the job from 9 until 5
I can't wait 'til it stops
I am who i'm not
Been on my own for too long
Only find solace in writing these songs
Please diagnose me what's wrong?
Tried to stay strong
I'm calling and calling and calling
And still ain't no answer from god
Been on the job from 9 until 5
I can't wait 'til it stops
I am who i'm not
I am who i'm not
Nico's "I Am" is a song about loneliness and seeking answers from a higher power. The repeated line "I've been alone, alone" highlights the isolation the singer is feeling. The lyrics speak to the idea that even when we are surrounded by people, we can still feel alone and helpless. The singer is stuck in the attic, unable to move forward, and "running out of luck" which suggests a sense of hopelessness. The line "ignore all the signs, I'm flying too close to the sun" serves as a metaphor for the singer's desire to pursue something until it's too late.
Throughout the song, the singer calls out to God for help and answers, but there is no response. This can be interpreted as a commentary on the idea of abandonment and the absence of a higher power. The repeated line "Please diagnose me what's wrong?" suggests a need for validation and understanding from those around them. The final line, "I am who I'm not," suggests a struggle with identity, perhaps feeling like they have to pretend to be someone they're not to fit in, or that they have lost sight of who they really are.
Overall, "I Am" is a powerful song that touches on themes of loneliness, identity, and spirituality.

Am I wrong for thinking out the box from where I stay?
Am I wrong for saying that I'll choose another way?
I ain't trying to do what everybody else doing
Just cause everybody doing what they all do
If one thing I know, how far would I grow?
I'm walking down this road of mine, this road that I call home
So am I wrong for thinking that we could be something for real?
Now am I wrong for trying to reach the things that I can't see?
But that's just how I feel, that's just how I feel
That's just how I feel trying to reach the things that I can't see
Am I tripping for having a vision?
My prediction; I'mma be on the top of the world
Hope you, hope you don't look back, always do what you decide
Don't let them control your life, that's just how I feel
Fight for yours and don't let go, don't let them compare you, no
Don't worry, you're not alone, that's just how we feel
So am I wrong for thinking that we could be something for real?
Now am I wrong for trying to reach the things that I can't see?
But that's just how I feel, that's just how I feel
That's just how I feel trying to reach the things that I can't see
If you tell me I'm wrong, wrong
I don't wanna be right, right
If you tell me I'm wrong, wrong
I don't wanna be right
If you tell me I'm wrong, wrong
I don't wanna be right, right
If you tell me I'm wrong, wrong
I don't wanna be right
So am I wrong for thinking that we could be something for real?
Now am I wrong for trying to reach the things that I can't see?
But that's just how I feel, that's just how I feel
That's just how I feel trying to reach the things that I can't see
That's just how I feel
That's just how I feel
That's just how I feel trying to reach the things that I can't see

Deuteronomy 7:6 “For thou art an holy people unto the LORD thy God: the LORD thy God hath chosen thee to be a special people unto himself, above all people that are upon the face of the earth.
Isaiah 14:1
“For the LORD will have mercy on Jacob, and will yet choose Israel, and set them in their own land: and the strangers shall be joined with them, and they shall cleave to the house of Jacob.
Isaiah 14:2
“And the people shall take them, and bring them to their place: and the house of Israel shall possess them in the land of the LORD for servants and handmaids: and they shall take them captives, whose captives they were; and they shall rule over their oppressors.
2 Esdras 6:9
“For Esau is the end of the world, and Jacob is the beginning of it that followeth.”
