Be Yourself
The New Mastersounds Lyrics

Someone falls to pieces, sleeping all alone
There are people who feel broken and isolated, and they suffer in silence.

Someone kills the pain, spinning in the silence
People try to cope with their struggles by turning to distractions or vices.

To finally drift away
They seek to escape from their reality, even if it's temporary.

Someone gets excited in a chapel yard and catches a bouquet
Others are celebrating and finding joy in different things, like weddings.

Another lays a dozen white roses on a grave
At the same time, someone else is mourning and experiencing loss.

Yeah and be yourself is all that you can do
Despite the different experiences we have, we all have one thing in common: the importance of being true to oneself.

Someone finds salvation in everyone, another only pain
People have different perspectives and experiences with other individuals in their lives--some find inspiration and hope, while others experience intense hurt and sadness.

Someone tries to hide himself, down inside himself he prays
Some people feel the need to suppress their true selves and desires, even turning to prayer in a way to reconcile their feelings.

Someone swears his true love until the end of time
Some individuals make heartfelt commitments to the people or things they truly care about.

Another runs away, separate or united, healthy or insane
Meanwhile, others choose to run away or distance themselves from their problems or situations.

Even when you've paid enough
Through all of the trials and hardships one may experience.

Been pulled apart or been held up
Whether they've been hurt or lifted up by their experiences.

Every single memory of the good or bad faces of luck
All of the moments, both good or bad, that have molded their lives, shape the future they're walking towards.

Don't lose any sleep tonight
To avoid worry over these past difficult experiences

I'm sure everything will end up alright
Comforting themselves that everything will fall into place eventually.

You may win or lose
Outcomes become uncertain in the future

But to be yourself is all that you can do, yeah
But what remains important, the insistent chorus, stands firm: all that anyone can do is listen to themselves and remain true to who they are.

To be yourself is all that you can do
A chorus that continues to punctuate the song, emphasizing authenticity in the face of adversity.

Oh, to be yourself is all that you can do
The chorus is rephrased once more, reminding listeners about the significance of authenticity

To be yourself is all that you can do
The last affirmation of the song--that despite the complexity of the human experience, what really counts is staying true to oneself.

Be yourself is all that you can do
A final repetition of the chorus, encouraging listeners to continue taking ownership of their lives and truths.
