This song reveals a little bit about me, cause sometimes I'd honestly like to be in someone else's shoes, someone else who's had a better life than me, someone who's accepted and not rejected, someone who's happy with themselves and who doesn't have some of the memories I have. Of course I can't do that, and no one else can either, and that's where this song happened to have its origins. "Wishing Myself Away" Sometimes I feel like I'm not accepted Sometimes I feel like I am rejected Sometimes I want to be someone else So unimpressed with myself (If I could I'd change into someone else) Seeing all these people, seemingly so happy with their lives Remembering all the things I've done wrong, the memories cut like knives I'd give everything away to live just one day through someone else's eyes Someone who's led a better life and seems so much better than I (So unhappy with myself) I'm wishing myself away, wasting away this life I'm wishing myself away, wishing I could change what's already done But you can't change the past and that is a fact And I realize (coming to grips with this reality) That the only person I could hope to be is me Thinking back through the years Brushing the dust off bitter memories Don't want to remember these things I hate the way they remind me of who I could have been But they just won't go away, constantly reminding me of who I am (Try and push these thoughts away for another day) I see on the TV, everyone always seems to be smiling But then again they're not me If I could then I'd unzip my skin and take a walk outside myself I'd rearrange and try to change me to what I'd like to be (Just trace over myself) I'm wishing myself away, wasting away this life I'm wishing myself away, wanting to be someone else But there's no changing the past and no turning back And I realize (coming to grips with this reality) That the only person I could hope to be is me For now I'll daydream and I'll see me As I'd really like to be But later on, I won't want to go on Right back to square one, pulled out of my dreams When I look in the mirror I'll see the same old person Staring back at me So tired out of my reflection, wanna do some correcting Wanna change my clothes, my looks, my everything But I realize that I'm living a lie and I'm trying to be a person I don't know Feeling so trapped, feeling so sad and with nowhere else to go (except inside my mind) I could try to be me, but that wouldn't make me happy Cause I wanna be someone else (so bad) I get to feeling so down cause I want a life that Won't come back to haunting me But I realize (coming back to life) That the only person I could hope to be is me I'm wishing myself away, wasting away this life I'm wishing myself away, shoving the past aside (burying it deep inside) There's nowhere to run but who said life was fun? And I realize (taking hold of my reality) That the only person I could hope to be (who else could I hope to be?) The only person I could change The only person left to blame Is me
"Remembering all the things I've done wrong, the memories cut like knives,If I could then I'd unzip my skin and take a walk outside myself I'd rearrange and try to change me to what I'd like to be " Wow amazing lyrics I loved those lines especially! I love music which I can relate to. There are so many artists I hate becase of their meaningless lyrics yet they are very famous, loved, sell millions of recoerds etc. While the people that have great meaningful lyrics are very few...and LPA has loads of them! I'd probably buy (everyone that I commented on's) album in a heart-beat if you/they ever make one! Did that make sense? BTW whoever looks happy might have problems at home etc. My friend wanted to switch places with me until I woke her up and told her my problems...she shudders and regrets ever thinking that now
