Because I'm Me
The Avalanches Lyrics

If she don't love me, what can I do?
When someone we love doesn't reciprocate, it doesn't mean we should stop living our lives. Just putting on one's best pair of shoes signifies taking things in stride, and moving forward despite the situation.

Because I, I'm me
One's identity is something to be proud of; it's who we are and it sets us apart from anyone else. Hence, one should always prioritize their own well-being over others'.

Because she said, "he's the one that drill the charms / Honey let's go wrong"
It feels great when someone recognizes our good qualities, and it could even lead to a positive partnership. Even when things go wrong, being in love is often worth the risk.

I just want to know / What's wrong with me? / Being in love with you
Sometimes, despite our best efforts, the person we love just doesn't return our feelings. It's easy to blame ourselves, but it's important to remember that loving someone is never wrong, even if it's not returned.

9th grade had the jingles of the swinging rainbow jacket / Law slain go only Django / Snap he accomplished
Memories are an important part of who we are, and looking back at the experiences that made us who we are can be a fun way to reconnect with ourselves.

That's where my props go / That's where my pops went / See my percentage is a pennant to the planet
We all have a rich tapestry of people and experiences that make up who we are, and giving credit where it's due when we achieve something is vital.

Knock it out the ball park, Frankie / I should not tire this tire / To a better love, let the wings spread
When we put our minds to something, we can achieve anything. It may be easy to tire, but it's important to push on and continue to work towards our goals. The end result is worth it, and it can lead to the happiness we deserve.

It'll always come back, baby / Come back, shellac black, baby / A come back, flat black paint on a Chevy
Things come and go, but some things always return to us. They may come in a different form, but if we're patient, we'll see that they were never truly gone. It may even come back better than before.

Never mind my tone when I told Pretty Tony / Listen to my tone, you ain't catchin' you a Tony
Sometimes we say things we don't mean, or our tone of voice doesn't reveal our full intentions. Instead of focusing on the tone of a statement, it's more important to understand what someone is trying to communicate.

Award-winning walk when you running with a shottie / Why you running from us? / Why you messing with us?
Having confidence is important, and walking with an award-winning swagger can help boost it. But it's also important to treat others with respect, and not bully or intimidate them.

We ain't got no guns, we just let the bears witness / The Grizzly, maybe Polar / You ain't ready, you ain't ready 'ready rolled up / Pulling a machete, cut the bamboo paper
Violence doesn't solve anything, and even without guns, there are still consequences to actions. It's important to take accountability for one's actions and recognize when one is not prepared for a situation.

And let's roll out baby / Because I'm me / Because I, I'm me / Because I, I'm me / Because I'm me, I'm me
At the end of the day, we can only control our own actions and reactions. We should always be true to ourselves, and be proud of who we are.
