Lyrical Analysis of...
I DON’T EXPLAIN MYSELF (REMIX)10/15
- harrygotbeats
- [Intro –0:00–0:14]
- (Yeah, yeah...)
- I used to talk just to be understood,
- Now I let the silence say what it should.
- They can believe whatever they wanna believe,
- I know who I am, that's enough for me.
- (Uh, listen...)
- [Verse 1 –0:14–0:45]
- I don't owe nobody reasons for the way I live,
- Been giving out my heart, ain't got much left to give.
- They only see the surface, never notice all the scars,
- Never saw the lonely nights I spent beneath the stars.
- Everybody got opinions, everybody got a view,
- Funny how they judge a life they never even knew.
- I was fighting with my demons, tryna make it through the rain,
- Now they wanna hear my story just to question all my pain.
- I ain't bitter, I'm just better at protecting all my peace,
- Had to cut a couple ties just to finally breathe.
- If my silence makes you nervous, that's a problem you can keep,
- I been building up a kingdom while the whole world's asleep.
- [Chorus –0:45–1:07]
- I don't explain myself, no more,
- I ain't who I was before.
- Let 'em talk, let 'em assume,
- I found my peace inside this room.
- I don't explain myself, I'm free,
- Don't need the world believing me.
- You can say what you wanna say,
- I'm still gonna be me anyway.
- (Oh oh, anyway...)
- [Verse 2 –1:07–1:38]
- I learned a couple lessons from the people that I trusted,
- Some friendships turned to ashes, some promises got busted.
- I used to chase approval like a paycheck overdue,
- Till I realized their acceptance couldn't make my dreams come true.
- I ain't gotta prove my worth to somebody keeping score,
- I been rich in all the ways that money can't afford.
- Got a soul full of stories, got a heart that's been repaired,
- Had to learn the hard way not everybody really cared.
- Now I'm walking with a purpose, moving different than before,
- I don't argue with the people who ain't knocking at my door.
- Let 'em paint me as the villain if it helps 'em sleep at night,
- I ain't gotta win the argument to know that I was right.
- [Chorus –1:38–2:00]
- I don't explain myself, no more,
- I ain't who I was before.
- Let 'em talk, let 'em assume,
- I found my peace inside this room.
- I don't explain myself, I'm free,
- Don't need the world believing me.
- You can say what you wanna say,
- I'm still gonna be me anyway.
- (Oh oh, anyway...)
- [Bridge –2:00–2:17]
- (Smooth soulful vocals)
- I let the rain fall, let the wind blow,
- Some things in life they ain't supposed to know.
- I lost some people, but I found my soul,
- Stopped chasing love I couldn't control.
- If you don't understand, that's alright,
- I made my peace with the lonely nights.
- No more defending the road I chose,
- Some chapters close, and that's how it goes.
- [Outro –2:17–2:30]
- (Yeah... mm mm...)
- I don't explain myself, I just grow,
- Some things you feel, some things you know.
- You heard the rumors, but you don't know me,
- I'm not the version that you chose to see.
- I don't explain myself...
- I let my life speak for me.
- (Yeah... let it breathe...)
