From the recordings Everything I've Got and Identity
“Identity” was written about the experience of being caught in the comparison trap. In the age of social media, it’s easier than ever to fall in. We scroll through highlight reels, perfectly curated photos, and seemingly flawless lives, and it’s natural to start questioning our own worth. I’ve been there myself—caught in the cycle of wanting to be someone I wasn’t. I found myself chasing an illusion, longing for a version of life that wasn’t even real. The result? Unhappiness and a growing sense of inadequacy.
It’s important to remember that much of what we see online is just a facade, a polished snapshot of someone’s best moments, not their reality. I was fooled into believing that these carefully crafted portrayals were authentic, and in doing so, I lost sight of what truly mattered—embracing who I am and the unique life I’ve been given.
Don’t let this trap steal your joy. It’s a game you can never win because it’s built on falsehoods. True happiness comes from self-acceptance, from celebrating your individuality, and from living a life that’s genuine and true to you. Remember, the world doesn’t need another copy of someone else—it needs the authentic version of you. So stop comparing and start appreciating the beauty of your own journey.
Lyrics
I put myself in your life
What can satisfy me?
Photoshopped and pristine
I'd give anything
Time and time and time again
My eyes too blind to see
I'm falling in too deep
I'm down on my knees
Do I want to be you?
Can I do what you do?
Am I who I should be?
Is this my identity?
Do I want to be you?
Can I do what you do?
Am I who I should be?
Is this my identity?
I’m on the face of the sun
I’ve seen the dirty light
The apple looks so good
I think I should take a bite
Time and time and time again
My eyes too blind to see
I'm falling in too deep
I'm down on my knees
Do I want to be you?
(I don’t want to be you)
Can I do what you do?
(I can do what you do)
Am I who I should be?
Is this my identity?
Do I want to be you?
(I don’t want to be you)
Can I do what you do?
(I can do what you do)
Am I who I should be?
Is this my identity?
Instagram, dreamland, my envy
A million friends, fake smiles, do they know me?
Masquerade, surrendered to a false dream
Sinking in, the illusion takes my soul
Stiff martini, pop stars, Lamborghini
Such temptation, that could be me
Trapped inside this social scam
Is this my fantasy?
Do I want to be you?
Can I do what you do?
Am I who I should be?
Is this my identity?
Do I want to be you?
(I don’t want to be you)
Can I do what you do?
(I can do what you do)
Am I who I should be?
Is this my identity?
Do I want to be you?
(I don’t want to be you)
Can I do what you do?
(I can do what you do)
Am I who I should be?
Is this my identity?
Do I want to be you?
(I don’t want to be you)
Can I do what you do?
(I can do what you do)
Am I who I should be?
Is this my identity?
I don’t want to be you
Is this my identity
I can’t do what you do
Do I want to be you?
Are you who I should be?
Is this my identity?
I can’t do what you do
Do I want to be you?
Are you who I should be?
Is this my identity?
