Look At Me
The Berlin Project Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Look at me tell me what you see
Am I everything I'm meant to be
How can you breathe lien next to me
Airs so hard to find when you're with me

I'm leaving you behind
I'm going all alone
And this is what it's like to be on your own

I can't see this time
Stars have left your eyes
Falling down to words that I left behind

It's not me this time
I'm not in your sky
Only difference is that I don't mind

How can I see without you guiding me
To point my life where I'm supposed to be
Where will I be where you can set me free
Those eyes they lie but they don't lie to me

I'm leaving you behind
I'm going all alone
And this is what it's like to be on your own

I can't see this time
Stars have left your eyes
Falling down to words that I left behind

It's not me this time
I'm not in your sky
Only difference is that I don't mind

How do I stop its been so bad
Maybe its time I can go back home
Good intentions only go so far

I can't see this time
Stars have left your eyes
Falling down to words that I left behind

It's not me this time

I'm not in your sky
Only difference is that I don't mind

Line by Line Meaning

Look at me tell me what you see
I want you to reflect on who I am and what I represent to you

Am I everything I'm meant to be
Do I embody the qualities and characteristics that align with my purpose?

How can you breathe lien next to me
Being around me is suffocating for you, and you struggle to find fresh air

Airs so hard to find when you're with me
It's difficult to feel at ease and find peace when you're in my presence

I'm leaving you behind
I'm saying goodbye to you and moving on

I'm going all alone
I'm choosing to embark on this journey by myself

And this is what it's like to be on your own
This is the reality of being independent and not relying on anyone else

I can't see this time
I'm blinded and can't see my way forward

Stars have left your eyes
You no longer see the potential in me or believe in my dreams

Falling down to words that I left behind
I'm struggling with the consequences of things I've said or done in the past

It's not me this time
The problem isn't with me this time

I'm not in your sky
I don't have a place in your world or life anymore

Only difference is that I don't mind
I'm okay with this because I've come to terms with my situation

How do I stop its been so bad
I'm grappling with how to end this difficult situation

Maybe its time I can go back home
Perhaps the solution is to return to the familiar and seek solace there

Good intentions only go so far
My good intentions can't change the reality of the situation
