Someone You'd Admire Lyrics

After all is said and done
I feel the same
All that I hoped
Would change within me stayed
Like a huddled moon-lit exile
On the shore
Warming his hands
A thousand years ago

I walk with others in me yearning to get out
Claw at my skin and gnash their teeth and shout
One of them wants only to be someone you'd admire
One would as soon just throw you on the fire

After all is said and after
All is done
God only knows
Which of them I'll become

The lyrics convey a poignant struggle for self-improvement and recognition, juxtaposed with a darker desire to surrender to more destructive impulses. This duality is portrayed through the metaphor of internal voices that vie for dominance, reflecting the universal human experience of navigating personal identity and societal expectations. Ultimately, the song leaves us pondering which facet of our own character will prevail when all is said and done, highlighting the ongoing battle between who we are and who we wish to be. #SelfReflection #InternalConflict #IdentityStruggle
