IV
V-kaos Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

When did you think
You could have me
Well you're wrong
I own myself
This is my body
Am I wrong
Call me a piece of shit
But I was experience

Is that wrong
I want to be myself
I want to see myself
Guess I'm wrong

But you wanted me
And you got me, eh
And now that I see
It's blinding
Have I been by myself
All this time
Store my thoughts up on a shelf
Organized it, with time
Waited for you
But you never came
Chapters unread
And dust will remain

I swear, mama
I've used my brain
There ain't no way
I feel this way
And I know I
Will hide the pain
For you and I
I will erase

Disown me, yeah
Leave me, yeah
Just wanna sleep
Don't wake me, yeah

I swear, mama
I've used my brain
There ain't no way
I feel this way
And I know I
Will hide the pain

For you and I
I will erase

When did you think
At what point did you assume

You could have me
That I would submit to you

Well you're wrong
Your assumption was incorrect

I own myself
I am my own person

This is my body
My physical being belongs to me

Am I wrong
Is that not right?

Call me a piece of shit
Insult me if you want

But I was experience
But I was just living my life

Is that wrong
Is that a problem?

I want to be myself
I desire to be true to myself

I want to see myself
I want to be self-aware
