I Think I
Ty Segall Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No distractions, nobody's home
I'm not the person you think I might be
I'm someone different, I'm free
I'm free of you
I'm free of you
No one to bother me, no messages to be read
I'm not the person I normally might be
I'm someone different, I'm free
I'm free of you
I'm free of you
I'm free of you
I'm free of you
Late at night, the light turns to blue
I'm wondering if you're out there thinking of me too
Have you ever thought you might not be what you believe?
You might be someone different, you might be free
Ty Segall's song "I Think I" is a song about freedom and self-discovery. In the song, Ty sings about being alone and free from distractions, which allows him to be someone different from the person he might normally be. The lyrics suggest that being alone can be liberating, as it allows us to break free from the expectations of others and discover who we truly are.
The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "I'm free of you," which can be interpreted in different ways. On one hand, it could be interpreted as being free of a specific person who is no longer in Ty's life. On the other hand, it could be interpreted as being free of the expectations and limitations that others have placed upon him. Either way, the repeated phrase emphasizes the idea of freedom and liberation.
The final verse of the song introduces a new perspective, as Ty wonders if the listener has ever thought that they might not be who they believe themselves to be. This suggests that the song is not just about Ty's personal journey, but also about inviting the listener to reflect on their own sense of identity and freedom.
Overall, "I Think I" is a song that celebrates the freedom that comes with being alone and discovering our true selves.

Late at night when I'm all alone
During nighttime when I'm by myself
No distractions, nobody's home
There are no outside disturbances since no one else is present
I'm not the person you think I might be
I am not the person you assume me to be
I'm someone different, I'm free
I am a different person, and I am unburdened
I'm free of you
I am no longer held captive by your influence
Late at night when I'm in my head
During nighttime when I am lost in thought
No one to bother me, no messages to be read
No one is troubling me, and there aren't any messages to answer
I'm not the person I normally might be
I am not myself as I usually am
I'm someone different, I'm free
I have transformed, and I am independent
Late at night, the light turns to blue
During nighttime, the light appears blueish
I'm wondering if you're out there thinking of me too
I wonder if you are also pondering about me
Have you ever thought you might not be what you believe?
Have you ever considered that you might not be who you believe yourself to be?
You might be someone different, you might be free
You could be an entirely different person, one who is unencumbered
