Same
Smith & Mighty Lyrics

The above lyrics are from the song "Same" by Smith & Mighty featuring Tammy Payne. The lyrics seem to talk about a person who feels like they are losing themselves in the midst of the expectations and opinions of others. The opening line tells about the person encountering different people who seem to know who they are while they start to feel lost in their own identity. The next line, "I am getting pulled into shadows that surround," indicates that the person feels like they are stuck in a dark place, and they can't seem to find their way out. They then see someone, who seems to be sitting on a star, possibly referring to how someone is shining bright in their life, but they feel distant from them.

The person feels like they are merging into everything; this could be a sign of losing their identity and feeling like they are becoming a part of the crowd. They used to dream, i.e., feel like they could accomplish anything, but now they are struggling to find their footing. They then talk about their "new eye" opening up to black and gold, where black could signify darkness and gold could signify wealth or status. The chorus repeats that "everything is turning out the same," possibly implying that nothing is changing for the person, and they are stuck in their situation.

Later, they describe the feeling of descending, where there are buzzes in their ears and walls are shaking, as if everything is changing. However, they find it sweet, possibly because they finally see change happening. They ask for help, indicating that they can't do it alone or don't know how to make the necessary changes to find themselves. The last line, "All the walls are shaking 'cause they were never real,” indicates that the person needs to break down the fake walls they have built around themselves to truly see who they are.
