I'm Not Strong Enough
The Undecided Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I look in the mirror and see what I despise
What have I done what have I become
I look in the mirror and see what I despise
Everything I stood against
Has conquered all of my being
I need to get out of this hole that I've dug
I look in the mirror and see what I despise
What have I done what have I become
I look in the mirror and see what I despise
How did I become so weak in all my ways
A little taste was all I needed and now I'm hooked
I've falled and succumbed to all the things that I hate
I've been down too long it's time that I stand up
I've been down too long it's time that I stand up
How did I become so weak in all my ways
I've been down too long it's time that I stand up
How did I become so weak in all my ways
I've been down too long it's time that I stand up
What have I done what have I become
I look in the mirror and see what I despise
The lyrics to The Undecided's song, "I'm Not Strong Enough," explore the theme of self-disgust and realization of one's weaknesses. The singer looks into the mirror and sees everything that they hate about themselves, all the things they have become because of the bad choices and actions they have taken. They no longer recognize themselves because they have lost sight of who they wanted to be. The singer has become weak, succumbing to the things they once stood against. The lyrics reveal that the singer feels trapped and in a hole of their own making.
The repeated line of "I've been down too long it's time that I stand up" shows the singer's desire to break free from their negative self-image and start making positive changes. They want to rise above their weaknesses and become stronger. The song's message is about the importance of taking responsibility for one's actions and finding the strength to make positive changes for oneself.
