LYRICS
Been rotating the same two outfits for three years now
Waiting for some kind of inspiration to make me feel like I’m my own person
But buying new clothes just makes me feel down
Having new style would cause me more attention and I don’t feel like I’m my own person
I just feel like some other version of me
Been talking about the same problems for years now
But nothing I do seems to make things happen I try to hard I guess I gotta to keep searching
Can’t help but think I just stand out
No matter what I do it’s bad it’s hurting and I don’t feel like I'm my own person
I just feel like some other version of me
I wanna blend into the background, I wanna be nobody and never make a sound
But I wanna start feeling like I can be myself
Oh wherever I go bad thoughts are lurking, I try and I try but I’m not my own person
I need new shoes these ones are worn out, I’ll buy the same pair just a different version ‘cause God
forbid I put some effort in
It would be nice if I wasn’t filled with doubt
Oh I can’t help feel that I’ve got some kind of curse and I don’t feel like I’m my own person
I just feel like some other version of me
I wanna blend into the background, I wanna be nobody and never make a sound
But I wanna start feeling like I can be myself
Oh wherever I go bad thoughts are lurking, I try and I try but I’m not my own person
I wanna be buried in the ground and I don’t want anyone to ever dig me out
And I’ve never had a sense of self
Oh the longer I stay here the more things worsen I’ll never be my own person
I wanna blend into the background, I wanna be nobody and never make a sound
But I wanna start feeling like I can be my self
Oh wherever I go bad thoughts are lurking, I try and I try but I’m not my own person
I wanna be buried in the ground and I don’t want anyone to ever dig me out
And I’ve never had a sense of self
Oh the longer I stay here the more things worsen and I’ll never be my own person

i'm not fluent in english so i've been listening to this song for quite a while without paying too much attention to the lyrics but today it hit me. I grasped some sentences and I realized it spoked to me so I checked out the lyrics. I really see myself in the lyrics, it brought tears to my eyes. I realized how sad it was to feel and live this way, but I felt happy knowing that I wasn't the only one like this. thanks.

Tbh, this song reflects what I feel right now. I've been enduring identity crisis for months now :( The lined "Been rotating two outfits for three years now, waiting for somr kind of inspiration to make me feel like I'm my own person" hits so much to me.

I loved Heartstopper to an embarrassing level. I have never seen a movie or show, (and I am a huge~! Book, Theater, TV and Movie fan, I believe that the thing that separates humans from animals is our story telling), where every single actor, every single scene and every single cinema graphic was freakin PERFECT. This offering was cathartic for me. I have been out for 44 years, but this fulfilled something in me that has been missing all along. I have seen several other gay love stories, but this is the most innocent, sweet and wholesome love story I have ever seen. When I say that I loved it to an embarrassing level, (Dear God~!) I mean, I binge watched it 8 times in a week and a half. (and I have only ever binge watched one other show, ever, and that was only once through.) What sets this master piece aside from all other gay stories is both that it is one of the first none tragic love stories and it has not one single seen for the prurient of heart. Just awesome... Many tears of joy..

When I first heard this song, on the same day I was having like my 100th existential crisis about not knowing who I am and what I want. I had been feeling incredibly alone for a while up until that point I heard it. Relatability especially about these things is a powerful thing, thank you for existing

Letra: He estado intercalando entre los dos mismos cambios de ropa por ya tres años, Esperando alguna clase de inspiración Que me haga sentir como que soy mi propia persona. Pero comprar nueva ropa solo me hace desanimarme Tener un nuevo estilo causaría mayor atención para mí Y no me sentiría como mi propia persona. Solamente me siento como otra versión de mi, He estado hablando de los mismos problemas por cuatro años ya, Pero nada de lo que hago parece lograr que las cosas sucedan, Intento fuertemente, supongo que tengo que seguir buscando. No puedo evitarlo, pero creo que simplemente sobresalgo, No importa que haga, está mal, Me lastima y no me siento como mi propia persona. Solamente me siento como otra versión de mi, Quiero pasar desapercibido en el fondo, Quiero ser un nadie y nunca hacer un ruido, Pero quiero comenzar a sentirme como yo mismo, Oh, a donde quiera que vaya los malos pensamientos están acosando. E intento e intento pero no soy mi propia persona, Necesito nuevos zapatos, estos ya están desgastados, Compraré el mismo par pero solo en otra versión, Porque Dios me dios me prohíba poner algún esfuerzo y sería lindo si no estuviera lleno de dudas. Oh, no puedo evitarlo pero siento que tengo alguna especie de maldición, Y no me siento como mi propia persona, Y solo me siento como otra versión de mi, Quiero desapercibido en el fondo. No quiero ser nadie y nunca hacer algún ruido, Pero quiero comenzar a sentir que puedo ser yo, Oh, a donde quiera que vaya malos pensamientos están acechando, E intento, e intento, pero no soy mi propia persona. Y quiero ser enterrado en el suelo Y no quiero que nadie me desentierre Y nunca he tenido un sentido de mi ser Oh, entre más estoy aquí peor se ponen las cosas. Nunca seré mi propia persona, Quiero desaparecer en el fondo, Quiero ser nadie y nunca hacer un ruido Peor quiero comenzar a sentir que puedo ser yo mismo Oh, a donde sea.que vaya malos pensamientos acechan, Intento e intento pero no soy mi propia persona Quiero ser enterrado en el piso. Y no quiero que nadie me desentierre Y nunca he tenido un sentido de mi ser, Oh, entre más estoy aquí peor se ponen las cosas... ¿Nunca seré mi propia persona?
