The Old Me Lyrics

I'm thinking about the old me
'Cause I've been feeling empty
I never used to be so dead inside
I think I lost my memory
I can't remember carefree
And all my days turn into fight or flight

I wanna get back, tell me how to get back
I wanna get back, tell me how to get back

Say it again, say it again, tell me what I wanna hear
Tell me that I'm gonna be fine and there's nothing left to fear
'Cause I've been losing sleep (losing sleep)
Trying to get back to who I used to be
Where is the old me?

(Where is the old me?)

I don't like who I've become
A hollow shell of someone
And I feel like a stranger to myself
I don't need to start over
I just need to get back to when
I didn't wake up to this hell I'm in

Say it again, say it again, tell me what I wanna hear
Tell me that I'm gonna be fine and there's nothing left to fear
'Cause I've been losing sleep
Trying to get back to who I used to be
Where is the old me?

(But what happened to the old me?)

I wanna get back, tell me how to get back
I wanna get back, tell me how to get back
Back

Get back

I wanna get back to when I didn't think about
The chance of everything I never thought I'd live without
But when I look around the only thing I see
Is the broken pieces of the person who I used to be

Say it again, say it again, tell me what I wanna hear
Tell me that I'm gonna be fine and there's nothing left to fear
'Cause I've been losing sleep
Trying to get back to who I used to be
Where is the old me?
(What happened to the old me?)

I wanna get back, tell me how to get back

What is the Meaning of The Old Me?

Ever feel like you're stuck in a real-life episode of "Where's Waldo?"—except Waldo is your old, carefree self? That's exactly what Memphis May Fire is belting out about. Our protagonist is on a mission to find their former zest for life, buried somewhere beneath layers of existential dread and sleepless nights. 🤔 They reminisce about days when fight-or-flight wasn't their daily routine and waking up didn't feel like stepping into a personal hellscape. This anthem screams for a return to simpler times, pleading for reassurance that everything will be okay while desperately searching through the rubble of their past self. #IdentityCrisis #Nostalgia
