My Own Sake
Nonpoint Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
"Super stellar first impression" I did not make.
My own insecurities are not as bad as you make them out to be,
And out time is running out so fast.
I move this fast, and I make mistakes for my own sake.
Can't you see that all of your times are wasting while we're wasted?
Our own feet when we look too hard, for what's older, older, yes older.
Then the day we got to this world that enough
For me to make a good impression when I'm walking through the door.
I move this fast, and I make mistakes for my own sake.
I'll do what I have to, to be everything you want me to.
Without putting you through all the questions I'd like to mention to you.
I move this fast, and I make mistakes for my own sake.
The lyrics of Nonpoint's song "My Own Sake" describe the internal struggle of the singer as they navigate their own insecurities and desires to please others. The opening lines, "just be patient, the best advice I did not take, super stellar first impression I did not make," reveal the singer's regret at not taking the time to make a better impression on someone. The following lines, "my own insecurities are not as bad as you make them out to be, and our time is running out so fast," suggest that the singer is aware of their own flaws and insecurities but feels pressure from others to be perfect.
The chorus of the song, "I move this fast, and I make mistakes for my own sake," highlights the internal conflict faced by the singer. They want to move quickly and make things happen, but in the process, they make mistakes that ultimately reflect their own desires rather than those of others. The final lines, "I'll do what I have to, to be everything you want me to, without putting you through all the questions I'd like to mention to you," reveal the singer's desire to please others without asking too many questions or revealing too much about themselves.

Why is this album not available on Itunes?
Rarity Clarity
In all honesty, I think Nonpoint would still kick ass if they went on w/ this album's sound (Only w/ Zach & Andrew though since the lineups after them are much more heavy-driven.)! Development ended up as a dope album despite MCA's attempt to alter Nonpoint's sound!
