Note 2 Self
Twiztid Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All those things that you say
With no feelings are you pretending to be
When you try to be like them becoming less of you somehow
And all the while in need of so many friends
But it just doesn't seem right, it doesn't feel good inside
Some how you just wanna pause, are people living to die
I'm in a state of confusion, the change is still happening
How can I change my life when all I have is pain
Inside of me for all to see
I'm gonna break my mind and try and smile again
Outside of me for all to see
The feelings that you feel keep you from being yourself
You've become so wrapped up in your dirty world of
Power and wealth you think you can have it all
If you want it bad enough and that's probably true
That's why there's so much hatred bottled up alive in you
But it just doesn't seem right, it doesn't feel good inside
Some how you just wanna pause, are people living to die
But it's just all an illusion and it's as real as can be
I'm in a state of confusion, the change is still happening
How can I change my life when all I have is pain
Inside of me for all to see
I'm gonna break my mind and try and smile again
Outside of me for all to see
How can I change my life when all I have is pain
Inside of me for all to see
I'm gonna break my mind and try and smile again
Outside of me for all to see
How can I change my life when all I have is pain
Inside of me for all to see
I'm gonna break my mind and try and smile again
Outside of me for all to see
How can I change my life when all I have is pain
Inside of me for all to see
I'm gonna break my mind and try and smile again
Outside of me for all to see
Note 2 Self by Twiztid is a song that reflects on the struggles people face in trying to fit in with society and the weight of societal expectations that dim their true selves. The opening line, "you know that you can't buy your way into heaven", sets the tone for the rest of the song which speaks to the futile efforts of those trying to live up to societal standards that are often at odds with genuine expressions of self.
The pre-chorus talks about the pressure to conform to what society has deemed appropriate, with lines such as "Are you pretending to be when you try to be like them?" and "Becoming less of you somehow". The chorus then goes on to express the confusion that arises from trying to reconcile these conflicting expectations; "but it's just all an illusion and it's as real as can be, I'm in a state of confusion, the change is still happening."
The second verse speaks to the pain of feeling like you cannot be your authentic self, with lines such as "the feelings that you feel keep you from being yourself" and "you've become so wrapped up in your dirty world of power and wealth." The song ends with a plea to break free from the pain and try to smile again.
Overall, Note 2 Self is a powerful commentary on the struggles faced by many in trying to fit into a world that often demands conformity at the expense of genuine self-expression.
Line by Line Meaning
You know that you can't buy your way into heaven
No material possessions can ensure admittance into heaven
All those things that you say
The words that you speak
With no feelings are you pretending to be
Are you pretending to have emotions when you really do not?
When you try to be like them becoming less of you somehow
Attempting to mimic others can lead to a loss of individuality
And all the while in need of so many friends
Despite having numerous friends, there remains an inherent need for more
But it just doesn't seem right, it doesn't feel good inside
Something feels fundamentally incorrect and uncomfortable
Some how you just wanna pause, are people living to die
At times, you may want to pause and question if people are actually living life to the fullest or merely waiting to die
But it's just all an illusion and it's as real as can be
Life may feel like an illusion, but it is the most authentic reality we know
I'm in a state of confusion, the change is still happening
Currently feeling perplexed, but a transformation is still unfolding
How can I change my life when all I have is pain
It is difficult to enact positive change with internal suffering
Inside of me for all to see
Displayed outwardly for others to witness
I'm gonna break my mind and try and smile again
Attempting to clear and refresh the mind to once again showcase joy
Outside of me for all to see
Displayed outwardly for others to witness
The feelings that you feel keep you from being yourself
Emotions can hinder one's ability to remain true to oneself
You've become so wrapped up in your dirty world of
Overly preoccupied with a world filled with immorality and corruption
Power and wealth you think you can have it all
The allure of power and money can make you believe you are entitled to everything
If you want it bad enough and that's probably true
It is highly likely that with enough passion, you can obtain what you desire
That's why there's so much hatred bottled up alive in you
One reason for harboring hateful feelings is the desire to obtain more at any cost
