I am
The Twisted Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Who are you to look down
At what I believe?
I'm on to your thinking
And how you deceive
Well, you can't abuse me
I won't stand no more
Yes, I know the reasons
Yes, I know the score
I am, and I'll be
I will, you'll see
I am, and I'll be
I am: I'm me
How I tried to please you
Live the way you said
Do the things that you do
Like the living dead
Then the truth it hit me
Got me off my knees
It's my life I'm living
I'll live as I please
I am, and I'll be
I will, you'll see
I am, and I'll be
I am: I'm me
Now's the time to stand tall
Start your life anew
Freedom lies in your heart
Now's the time for you
I am, and I'll be
I will, you'll see
I am, and I'll be
I am: I'm me
I am, I'm me
I am, I'm me
Can't you see?, can't you see?
I'm me, I'm me, me, me, me, me
I am: I'm me
I am: I'm me
Can't you see?, can't you see?
I'm me, I'm me, I'm me
I am: I'm me
I am: I'm me
Can't you see that I'm me
I'm me, I'm me, look at me




I am: I'm me
I am: I'm me

Overall Meaning

The Twisted's song "I Am" is an empowering message about staying true to oneself despite societal pressure to conform. The lyrics challenge the listener to question those who look down on what they believe, to recognize when they are being deceived, and to stand up against abuse. The singer acknowledges that they used to try to please others by living the way they were told to, but they have since realized the importance of living their own life on their own terms. The chorus repeats the phrase "I am, and I'll be," emphasizing the singer's individuality and determination to be true to themselves.


The second verse specifically touches on the idea of societal pressure to conform, using the metaphor of living as though one is a member of the "living dead." The singer's realization that they want to live life on their own terms gives them the strength to stand tall and start anew. The repeated chant of "I'm me" at the end of the song is a powerful declaration of individuality and self-acceptance.


Overall, "I Am" is a song about breaking free from the pressures to conform and asserting one's own identity. It encourages listeners to recognize their own worth and to reject those who would look down on them for being different.

My mother, she told me
"Don't get in trouble"
My father, he told me
He knew I would
My brothers, they told me
"Don't give a damn"
My sister, she told me
To do something good
I'm uncontrollable, emotional, chaotically proportional
I'm visceral, reloadable
I'm crazy, I'm crazy, I'm crazy, I'm crazy
Everybody in the world knows I'm a little twisted, twisted
Everybody in the world knows I'm a little twisted, twisted
Everybody in the world knows I'm a little twisted, twisted
Everybody in the world knows I'm a little twisted, twisted
My mother, she told me
"Don't be a quitter"
My father, he told me
He knew I was
My brothers, they told me
"Do what you do"
My sister, she told me
To do something good
I'm uncontrollable, emotional, chaotically proportional
I'm visceral, reloadable
I'm crazy, I'm crazy, I'm crazy, I'm crazy
Everybody in the world knows I'm a little twisted, twisted
Everybody in the world knows I'm a little twisted, twisted
Everybody in the world knows I'm a little twisted, twisted
Everybody in the world knows I'm a little twisted, twisted
My mother, she told me
My father, he told me
I'm crazy, I'm crazy, I'm crazy, I'm crazy
Everybody in the world knows I'm a little twisted, twisted
Everybody in the world knows I'm a little twisted, twisted
Everybody in the world knows I'm a little twisted, twisted
Everybody in the world knows I'm a little twisted, twisted

My mother, she told me wear a mask
My father, he told me stay at home
My brothers, they told me to wear gloves
My sister, she told me wash your hands with soap

I'm uncontrollable, emotional, chaotically proportional,
I'm visceral, reloadable

I hate this i hate this i hate this i hate this

Everybody in the world knows that there's a virus, virus
Everybody in the world knows that there's a virus, virus
Everybody in the world knows that there's a virus, virus
Everybody in the world knows that there's a virus, virus

Sorry if it sucks i tried my best-
