Who you are
orig. - Jessie J. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yeah, yeah
I stare at my reflection in the mirror
Why am I doing this to myself?
Losing my mind on a tiny error
I nearly left the real me on the shelf
No, no, no, no
Don't lose who you are, in the blur of the stars
Seeing is deceiving, dreaming is believing
It's okay not to be okay
Sometimes it's hard, to follow your heart
Tears don't mean you're losing, everybody's bruising
Just be true to who you are
(Who you are, who you are, who you are)
(Who you are, who you are, who you are)
No, no, no, no, no, no
(Who you are, who you are, who you are)
(Who you are, who you are)
Brushing my hair, do I look perfect?
I forgot what to do to fit the mold, yeah
The more I try the less it's working, yeah, yeah
'Cause everything inside me screams, no, no, no, no,, no, yeah
Don't lose who you are, in the blur of the stars
Seeing is deceiving, dreaming is believing
It's okay not to be okay
Sometimes it's hard, to follow your heart
But tears don't mean you're losing, everybody's bruising
There's nothing wrong with who you are
Yes, no's, egos, fake shows, like whoa
Just go, and leave me alone
Real talk, real life, good love, goodnight
With a smile, that's my home
That's my home, no
No, no, no, no, no, no
Don't lose who you are, in the blur of the stars
Seeing is deceiving, dreaming is believing
It's okay not to be okay
Sometimes it's hard, to follow your heart
Tears don't mean you're losing, everybody's bruising
Just be true to who you are
Yeah, yeah-yeah
In Jessie J.'s song "Who You Are", she reflects on the pressure to conform to societal standards and how difficult it is to maintain one's true identity. She stares at her own reflection in the mirror and questions why she is losing her mind trying to fit into a mold. She nearly gives in to societal pressures and loses herself in the process. However, she reminds herself to not lose who she truly is in the "blur of the stars". She acknowledges that what we see is not always real and that we should not base our self-worth on appearances alone. She encourages listeners that it is okay to not be okay and to be true to ourselves. The song ends with her proclaiming that her real home is not a physical space, but where she can be herself.

Introductory sounds to the song
I stare at my reflection in the mirror
I introspectively examine myself in the mirror
Why am I doing this to myself?
Why am I causing unhappiness to myself?
Losing my mind on a tiny error
Getting agitated over a minor mistake
I nearly left the real me on the shelf
I almost abandoned my true character
Don't lose who you are, in the blur of the stars
Don't forget your true self while being overwhelmed by fame
Seeing is deceiving, dreaming is believing
Appearances can be misleading while a vision can be powerful
It's okay not to be okay
It's okay to not be okay emotionally
Sometimes it's hard, to follow your heart
At times, it's tough to decide based on instincts and not logic
Tears don't mean you're losing, everybody's bruising

Stay authentic to your character
Brushing my hair, do I look perfect?
While grooming myself, the thought of looking flawless crossed my mind
I forgot what to do to fit the mold, yeah
I'm clueless about conforming to stereotypes
The more I try the less it's working, yeah, yeah
The harder I try, the less I'm able to achieve it
'Cause everything inside me screams, no, no, no, no, no, yeah
I'm conflicted since my gut says no, but the fear of being judged says yes
Yes, no's, egos, fake shows, like whoa
There are lots of contradictory thoughts, egos, and fakeness in this whole experience
Just go, and leave me alone
Leave me be, and don't interfere in my life
Real talk, real life, good love, goodnight
Speaking the underlying reality of life with sincerity, and signing off the day with gratitude and love
With a smile, that's my home
I find comfort in the happiness around me
Don't lose who you are, in the blur of the stars
Repeat of the above-stated line
Yeah, yeah-yeah

When tomorrow comes
I'll be on my own
Feeling frightened of
The things that I don't know
When tomorrow comes
Tomorrow comes
Tomorrow comes
And though the road is long
I look up to the sky
And in the dark I found,
I lost hope that I won't fly
And I sing along, I sing along
And I sing along
I got all I need when I got you and I
I look around me, and see a sweet life
I'm stuck in the dark but you're my flashlight
You're getting me, getting me through the night
Kick start my heart when you shine it in my eyes
Can't lie, it's a sweet life
I'm stuck in the dark but you're my flashlight
You're getting me, getting me through the night
'Cause you're my flashlight (flashlight)
You're my flashlight (flashlight)
You're my flashlight
I see the shadows long beneath the mountain top
I'm not afraid when the rain won't stop
'Cause you light the way
You light the way, you light the way
I got all I need when I got you and I
I look around me, and see a sweet life
I'm stuck in the dark but you're my flashlight
You're getting me, getting me through the night
Kick start my heart when you shine it in my eyes
I can't lie, it's a sweet life
I'm stuck in the dark but you're my flashlight
You're getting me, getting me through the night
(Light light light you're my flashlight, light, light)
Light light you're my flashlight
Light light light light light, oh
(Light light light you're my flashlight, light, light)
You're my flash, oh
I got all I need when I got you and I
I look around me, and see a sweet life
I'm stuck in the dark but you're my flashlight
You're getting me, getting me through the night
Can't stop my heart when you shinin' in my eyes
I can't lie, it's a sweet life
I'm stuck in the dark but you're my flashlight
(You're my flashlight)
You're getting me, getting me through the night
'Cause you're my flashlight
'Cause you're my flashlight
You're my flashlight
You're my flashlight

FLASHLIGHT LYRICS
When tomorrow comes I'll be on my own
Feeling frightened of the things that I don't know
When tomorrow comes, tomorrow comes
Tomorrow comes
I know the road is long, now look up to the sky
And in the dark I found last hope that I won't fly
Then I sing along, I sing along
Then I sing along
I got all I need when I got you and I
I look around me, and see a sweet life
I'm stuck in the dark but you're my flashlight
You're getting me, getting me through the night
I can't stop my heart when you're shining in my eyes
Can't lie, it's a sweet life
I'm stuck in the dark but you're my flashlight
You're getting me, getting me through the night
'Cause you're my flashlight
My flashlight
You're my flashlight
I see the shadows low beneath the mountain top
I'm not afraid when the rain won't stop
'Cause you light the way, you light the way
You light the way
I got all I need when I got you and I
I look around me, and see a sweet life
I'm stuck in the dark but you're my flashlight
You're getting me, getting me through the night
I can't stop my heart when you're shining in my eyes
Can't lie, it's a sweet life
I'm stuck in the dark but you're my flashlight
You're getting me, getting me through the night
(Light, light, light, you're my flashlight)
I got all I need when I got you and I
I look around me, and see a sweet life
I'm stuck in the dark but you're my flashlight
You're getting me, getting me through the night
I can't stop my heart when you're shining in my eyes
Can't lie, it's a sweet life
I'm stuck in the dark but you're my flashlight
