Me Against Myself
Wage War Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Is it me against myself?
I feel like someone else
'Cause I can't find my way back home
And I don't wanna do it alone
Is it me against myself
And everybody else?
'Cause I can't fix this on my own
I don't wanna do it alone

Had a talk with myself
Try to smile and wish me well
Feel like I'm a broken shell
Hard to lie when you're overwhelmed

It still hurts when you're already numb
Every walk becomes a run
It's gettin' hard to hold on
When you come undone

'Cause lately everything around keeps changing
I've been thinking that maybe
Maybe I'm to blame
Maybe we're both the same

Is it me against myself?
I feel like someone else
'Cause I can't find my way back home
And I don't wanna do it alone
Is it me against myself
And everybody else?
'Cause I can't fix this on my own
And I don't wanna do it alone

(Alone, alone)
No, I don't wanna do it alone
(Alone, alone)

It's hard to look back
When you have to face the facts
That the person that I was
Isn't coming back

'Cause lately everything around keeps changing
I've been thinking that maybe
Maybe I'm to blame
Maybe we're both the same (both the same)

Is it me against myself?
I feel like someone else
'Cause I can't find my way back home
And I don't wanna do it alone
Is it me against myself
And everybody else?
'Cause I can't fix this on my own
And I don't wanna do it alone

(Alone, alone)
No, I don't wanna do it alone
(Alone, alone)

Lately everything around keeps changing
I've been thinking that maybe
Maybe I'm to blame
Maybe we're both the same (both the same)

Lately everything around keeps changing
I've been thinking that maybe
Maybe I'm to blame
Maybe we're both the same
Maybe we're both the same

Is it me against myself?
I feel like someone else
'Cause I can't find my way back home
And I don't wanna do it alone
I feel like someone else

Is it me against myself?
I feel like someone else
'Cause I can't find my way back home
And I don't wanna do it alone
Is it me against myself
And everybody else?
'Cause I can't fix this on my own
And I don't wanna do it alone

(Alone, alone)
No, I don't wanna do it alone
(Alone, alone)

Had a talk with myself
Try to smile and wish me well




Feel like I'm a broken shell
Hard to lie when you're overwhelmed

Overall Meaning

The song "Me Against Myself" by Wage War is a powerful and emotional track that deals with feelings of isolation and the struggle to find one's way back home. The lyrics describe a person who feels lost and disconnected, unable to fix the problems they are facing on their own. The opening lines of the song - "Is it me against myself? I feel like someone else" - set the tone for the rest of the track, as the singer grapples with the idea of being their own worst enemy.


Throughout the song, there are references to the difficulty of facing one's own inner demons, as well as the challenge of coping with external changes in life. The lines "Every walk becomes a run / It's gettin' hard to hold on / When you come undone" suggest a sense of urgency and desperation, as the singer tries to keep up with the fast-paced and chaotic nature of the world around them.


Ultimately, the song is about the struggle to find connection and belonging in a world that can feel overwhelming and isolating. The repeated refrain of "And I don't wanna do it alone" highlights the importance of community and support, and the need for people to come together and help each other through difficult times.

I like this song. Don't care who it may sound like. My daughter listens to pop, rap and some other stuff but not metal, she however likes this band and can listen to their music. It gives us something to have in common. And trust me....it is really hard to have something in common with your teenage daughter when you are an Iraqi War Vet Metal head who loves sports.
