Who I Am
Stapp Scott Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I’ll blind your eyes, the only one.
Look at me when night sings blues,
I’m the only one, yes I’m your muse.
Look at me, make no mistake,
Fashioned with earth, molded with clay.
I’ll tell you how I face the day,
Who I am, who am I to you?
You know dammit, I speak the truth to you.
Who I am, who am I to you?
Why can’t I be who I am?
Look at me, I’m not like you.
I’m number one, not number two.
Look at me a pride and joy,
I came to win, I came to destroy.
Look at me, look in my eyes Heart of a lion,
I'll fight till I die!
Life’s too short to expect less
Even when I fall, I get up swinging
Who I am, who am I to you?
You know, dammit, I speak the truth to you
Who I am, who am I to you?
Why can’t I be who I am?
Who I am, who am I to me?
You know dammit, I speak the truth, you see
Who I am, who am I to me?
I just wanna be who I am
Just wanna be who I am
Just wanna be who I am
The song "Who I Am" by Stapp Scott is a powerful anthem that celebrates individuality and self-acceptance. The lyrics express a confident sense of self that refuses to be defined by anyone else's expectations or limitations. The opening lines set the tone for the rest of the song, with the singer declaring himself to be the sun that will blind your eyes, the only one. He is a muse for those who seek inspiration in the dark times.
The singer then goes on to describe himself as someone who is molded with clay, fashioned with earth. He urges the listener to look at him and not make the mistake of thinking he is like everyone else. He is number one, not number two; a pride and joy who came to win and destroy. He possesses the heart of a lion and is willing to fight until he dies. Even when he falls, he gets up swinging.
The chorus of the song is a plea to be accepted for who he is. He asks who he is to the listener and to himself, acknowledging that he speaks the truth to both. He just wants to be who he is - unapologetically and authentically himself. This song celebrates the freedom that comes with self-discovery and self-acceptance, and encourages the listener to embrace their own individuality.

Amazing. I can feel the Holy Spirit moving this man.
Nate Bays
This song is HEAVY. Maybe even the heaviest of any song I've ever heard him in. Including Freedom Fighter from creed and Fight Song from his previous album.

Daaaaamn... Scott found his balls again and is getting raw again. That's what I'm talkin about! I thought the last creed cd was pretty weak. Seems as if both sides of creed held back on it for their other projects. I know Alter Bridges last album was bad ass. Great to hear Mark sing more.
Tracy Guidry
Whatttt? Full Circle was an incredible album...
Adam Eckermann
I'm not saying it was trash... It just seemed like they held back. I was disappointed.
Tracy Guidry
You should give it another listen my friend. I feel that album was legendary..
