Who Am I
Svgv Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What's going on
What's the purpose of this here song
I got to get it going on
No time to moan
'Til the break of dawn
Who am I
What's going on
What's my name
What's my destiny
Is this life just a test for me
Psychopathic, automatic
Static freak, TNT
Who am I
Black man
African, Afghan
Sinsemill', what's the deal
I found a thrill on Blueberry Hill
Take a chill, overkill
Kill at will, live until
Dead at birth, Hell on Earth
Tell me what my life is worth
Life or death, live or die
Teardrops falling from mama's eye
And if she cries, I wonder why
She looks towards the sky
And said, "Who am I?"
The lyrics to Svgv's "Who Am I" reflect the universal and timeless questions about our existence, purpose, and identity. The song starts with the artist voicing his confusion and seeking to make sense of his place in the world. The repetition of the opening lines, "Who am I, what's going on, what's the purpose of this here song" convey a sense of urgency and existential angst. Moreover, the artist acknowledges that he has no time to waste and needs to get his life together until the break of dawn, further emphasizing the importance of finding a sense of direction and meaning in one's life.
The second stanza of the song brings up some of the contradictions and complexities that the artist faces in his life. The references to his racial and ethnic identity, such as "black man, African, Afghan," as well as drug culture with "sinsemill," "overkill," "kill at will," indicate that the artist is grappling with multiple and sometimes conflicting identities. Additionally, he portrays himself as a "psychopathic, automatic, static freak, TNT," which adds to the sense of confusion and uncertainty that pervades the song. Overall, the artist seems to be reflecting on both the external and internal factors that shape our sense of identity and purpose, including societal expectations, personal choices, and random events.
