Offer Nissim f/ Maya Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't need you...
I don't need you...
I don't need you...

I don't you to tell me what I can do
Where I can go and I don't need you to tell me
What I can know what I can not know
I don't need you to tell me
Who I can see who I can not see

I don't you to tell me who I can be with
Who I can be not
I don't need you to tell me who I can be with tonight
And if it feels right
That is only my
That is only my
That is only my
My right

I don't you to tell me what I can do
Where I can go and I don't need you to tell me
What I can know what I can not know
I don't need you to tell me
Who I can see who I can not see

I don't you to tell me who I can be with
Who I can be not
I don't need you to tell me who I can be with tonight
And if it feels right
That is only my
That is only my
That is only my
My right

Next time don't try to control me
Think again cause you don't own me
I'm on my own now
I'm on my own now
Next time don't try to control me
Think again cause you don't own me




I'm on my own now
I'm on my own now

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Offer Nissim's song "On My Own" featuring Maya can be interpreted as a defiance against someone who is trying to control the singer's life. The repetition of "I don't need you" reinforces the idea that the singer is capable of making their own decisions and does not require anyone else's guidance. The singer rejects the idea of someone else telling them what they can or cannot do, where they can or cannot go, or even who they can or cannot be with. The line "I'm on my own now" further underscores this sentiment of independence and self-reliance.


The second verse intensifies the message of freedom and autonomy. The singer again rejects the notion of someone else dictating their life and love life by saying "I don't need you to tell me who I can be with tonight, and if it feels right, that is only my right". This line celebrates the idea of making one's own decisions, especially when it comes to relationships. The last two lines "Next time don't try to control me, think again cause you don't own me" firmly establishes that the singer is not going to accept being controlled in any way and that they belong to themselves alone.


The song is ultimately about the power of self-determination and serves as an anthem for anyone who has had to free themselves from controlling relationships. It is a powerful message of empowerment and individuality that resonates with many people.
