Who Are You
OlivierDAYsoul Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In the middle of spaghetti road
I know there's a light at the end
But the tunnel it seems so narrow
Trying to find my way but my shoes is feeling heavy
They say I'm always dragging my feet
Now the world is measured on how fast you can get it
Before I can reach, yeah
Makin' a life for yourself
It's getting harder everyday, who are you!
Pressure to find the cuffs and dollar,
Said he's trying to find a way, who are you!
Life isn't as long as you think
Spend it wise while you're awake, who are you!
Timing is father to you
And it will never be the same, who are you!
(La la la la la la) Who are you
Surrounded, oh he's taking part in the habitation of your soul
But just cause you like the way it looks don't mean it's gonna suit ya
Don't mean it's gonna suit ya
Now is not composure and I'm not in a hurry
Could you say that in a frugiless time
Before you even blink
The day is to the night
And the ball would drop the 13th time
Still you're wondering why?
Yeah, yeah
I'm making a move
While time over bares the rules
Don't pen can be stackin', this tale
I'ma never is tell what you sing is close to gamble
Compose the faith and all the things I've seen
Change the favor of successful things
Gotta be more than a dream, I know!
Sometimes I could be slow and then the rest of the pack
But rest assured, no matter how much I fall I never refrain
Get back on the bike
Peddlin' hard I generate life
Wanna be soft, flavor the world
Be an example to all the boys and girls 'cause
Makin' a life for yourself
Is getting harder everyday, who are you!
Pressure to find the cuffs and dollar,
Said he's trying to find a way, who are you!
Life isn't as long as you think
Spend it wise while you're awake, who are you!
Timing is father to you
And it will never be the same, who are you!
Makin' a life for yourself
Is getting harder everyday,
Pressure to find the cuffs and dollar,
Said he's trying to find a way, who you are!
Life isn't as long as you think
Spend it wise while you're awake, who you are!
Timing is father to you
And it will (never) who are you!
(La la la la la la)
Where there is blood there is life, easy to find out who you are
Where there is blood there is life, easy to find out who you are
(Are)
Makin' a life for yourself
Is getting harder everyday,
Pressure to find the cuffs and dollar,
Said he's (trying)
Life isn't as long as you think
Spend it wise while you're awake,
Timing is father to you
And it will (never)
The song Who Are You by OlivierDAYsoul is a contemplation on identity and direction in life. The opening lines depict a sense of being trapped and lost in life's journey. Despite knowing that there is a light at the end of the tunnel, the path ahead seems narrow and daunting. The verse reflects on the pressure to keep pace with the world and how struggling to keep up can often leave a person feeling left behind.
The chorus provides a series of questions that the artist is asking of himself, and by extension, the listener. Who are you? What defines you? Are you living your life's purpose? The repeated "La la la" emphasizes the importance of the question and brings the listener back to focus on the significance of self-awareness and discovery.
In the second verse, the artist acknowledges that the world presents us with too many options, and it is easy to get caught up in things that look good on the surface but don't fulfill us in the long run. The artist emphasizes the value of taking one step at a time and following our individual paths rather than trying to keep pace with the pack.
Overall, the song encourages self-reflection and emphasizes the importance of pursuing one's purpose in life, even if it means taking a different path from others.

I feel like I'm pinned on the mat
I'm stuck and can't seem to get up
In the middle of spaghetti road
My journey is messy and confusing
I know there's a light at the end
There's hope for a better future
But the tunnel it seems so narrow
The path to that future is difficult and uncertain
Trying to find my way but my shoes is feeling heavy
I'm struggling to make progress despite my efforts
They say I'm always dragging my feet
Others criticize me for not moving fast enough
Now the world is measured on how fast you can get it
Society values speed and efficiency over other things
So I'm left behind before I can reach
I can't keep up with society's standards
Before I can reach, yeah
I haven't achieved my goals yet
Makin' a life for yourself
Trying to establish yourself in the world

But just cause you like the way it looks don't mean it's gonna suit ya
Something may seem good on the outside but not be right for you
Now is not composure and I'm not in a hurry
I'm not calm and collected and not in a rush to find my identity
Could you say that in a frugiless time
Can you say the same thing during difficult times?
Before you even blink
Things can change in an instant
The day is to the night
Everything has its opposite and balance
And the ball would drop the 13th time
Being prepared for unexpected events
Still you're wondering why?
Despite these truths, people still question why things happen
I'm making a move
Taking action towards my goals
While time over bares the rules
Following the rules of time and taking it into account
Don't pen can be stackin', this tale
Don't focus on material possessions
I'ma never is tell what you sing is close to gamble
Life is unpredictable and risky no matter what you do
Compose the faith and all the things I've seen
Use my faith and past experiences to guide me
Change the favor of successful things
Changing my mindset towards success
Gotta be more than a dream, I know!
Goals require more than just dreaming, it needs action
Sometimes I could be slow and then the rest of the pack
I may work at a slower pace than others, but that's ok
But rest assured, no matter how much I fall I never refrain
Despite failure, I won't give up or lose sight of my identity
Get back on the bike
Keep going and don't give up
Peddlin' hard I generate life
Working hard to create the life I want
Wanna be soft, flavor the world
I want to be a positive influence on the world
Be an example to all the boys and girls 'cause
Being a role model for future generations
Where there is blood there is life, easy to find out who you are
Life experiences help reveal one's true identity
Makin' a life for yourself
Establishing yourself in the world
Said he's (trying)
Continuing to strive towards success
And it will (never)
Timing is always changing and can't be relied on
who are you!
Continuously questioning and seeking one's true identity

I feel like a pin on the map
In the middle, of spaghetti road
I know there's a light at the end
But the tunnel, it seems so narrow
Tryin' to find my way, but my shoes is feelin' heavy
They say I'm always dragging my feet
Now the world is measured on how fast you can get it
So I'm left behind before I can reach
Before I can reach, yeah
Makin' a life for yourself, is getting harder every day
Who are you
Pressure to find the cuffs and dollar, said they're trying to find a way
Who are you
Life ain't as long as you think, spend it wise while you're awake
Who are you
Time ain't a father to you, but it will never be the same
Who are you
La, la la la la la la, la la la, la
Who are you
La, la la la la la la, la la la, la
La
Surrounded, always takin' part in the habitation of your soul
But just 'cause you like the way it looks
Don't mean it's gonna suit ya, don't mean it's gonna suit ya
No it's not composure, and I'm not in a hurry
Could you say that in the fluke in his time
Before you even blink the day is turnin' night
And the ball will drop the thirteenth time
Still you're wondering why-ah, yeah, yeah
I'm making a move, while time overbears the rules
No cannot be staggered in steller my never is hella tight
Glitch's fingers close the gumbo
Composed of faith in all the things I've seen
Change the flavor of successful things
Gotta be more than a dream, I know
Sometimes I can be slower than the rest of the pack
But rest assured no matter how much I fall I never refrain
Get back on the bike, peddling harder, generate light
Want to be soft, flavor the world
Be an example to all of the boys and girls, 'cause
Makin' a life for yourself, is getting harder every day
Pressure to find the cuffs and dollar, said they're trying to find a way
Who you are
Life ain't as long as you think, spend it wise while you're awake
Who you are
Time ain't a father to you, but it will never, never, never
Who are you
Where there is blood there is life, easy to find out who you are
Where there is blood there is life, easy to find out who you are
Ah-Are, Ah-Are, Are
Makin' a life for yourself, is getting harder every day
Pressure to find the cuffs and dollar, said they're trying, trying, trying
Life ain't as long as you think, spend it wise while you're awake
Time ain't a father to you, but it will never, never, never
