Who I Am

I've lost all of my temptation
I've lost all of my motivation
And I don't know why
I don't know why
I'm still here
Closer now than I ever was before
But I'm hitting the ground
Like an earth worm
And I don't know
I don't know
Why I'm here
"Chorus"
Oh I'm back in forth
And in sideways places
I'm aiming for
That grand oasis
But I can't figure out
Who I am
Who I am

Oh I climb these mountains higher I go
Through the rain and the snow
And I search so hard for me
I come up to a frozen lake
And my reflection seems to make
Me feel all alone and I don't know why
"Chorus"
Oh I'm back in forth
And in sideways places
I'm aiming for
That grand oasis
But I can't figure out
Who I am
Who I am
"Bridge"
Who am I
Who am I
Am I just a reflection
In your eye
Who am I
Who am I
Can you take me
To the other side
Who am I
Who am I
It seems
I've found myself inside
X2"Chorus"
Oh I'm back in forth
And in sideways places
I'm aiming for
That grand oasis
But I can't figure out
Who I am

For some reason I started singing this as a Who song. If you can imagine Roger Daltry singing this,I guess that means it has classic written all over it!I think this is great,but I can imagine how it could be performed,which when posting "just lyrics"is half the battle!(After posting this,I noticed the title;maybe that's why I started singing it as a Who song!)

Haha I write a quite a few songs that are "Who-ish" I guess I like the mysterious ness.

And my reflection seems to make
Me feel all alone....

Just "reflecting" that that line to me is the heart of this song and it brought it all home for me. The whole thing is great. I myself heard Maya Simantov's vocal in the song "Why" which is epic electronica and my favorite of hers. That's just me but it's just to say that these lyrics do what they're meant to do, they bear themselves on the wings of music.

Ι totally agree.

I just love this.

Thank you so much! That line for me is the heart of this song the idea of looking into hat mirror and expecting to see someone else when in reality you are something different. I think we all do this we think we look good and stuff until we look in the mirror and then it's like our minds warp, and we see ourselves as something different.
