I really enjoyed this song “”Let Me Be Myself” by 3 Doors Down, especially their music video. I love the message I took away from it. How we should strive to be our true selves, despite what those around us wish us to be. It’s easier said than done. We all get tangled in a web of obligations and commitments that we lose a piece of ourselves with each decision to be something unauthentic to who we really are.
Look, we all hear that voice inside our head that speaks to us all the time. It is our true self that sits in the center and knows who we are. We need to listen more and follow our bliss and we will be on the path to our destiny.
Watch the video and hang in there for the ending which has a great payoff.
Here are the lyrics
“Let Me Be Myself”
I guess i just got lost
Bein’ someone else
I tried to kill the pain
Nothin ever helped
I left myself behind
Somewhere along the way
Hopin to come back around
To find myself someday
Lately i’m so tired of waiting for you
To say that it’s ok, but tell me
Please, would you one time
Just let me be myself
So i can shine with my own light
Let me be myself
Would you let me be myself
I’ll never find my heart
Behind someone else
I’ll never see the light of day
Living in this cell
It’s time to make my way
Into the world i knew
Take back all of these times
That i gave in to you
Lately i’m so tired of waiting for you
To say that it’s ok, but tell me
Please, would you one time
Let me be myself
So i can shine with my own light
And let me be myself
For a while, if you don’t mind
Let me be myself
So i can shine with my own light
Let me be myself
That’s all i’ve ever wanted from this world
Is to let me be me
Please would you one time
Let me be myself
So i can shine with my own light
Let me be myself
Please would you one time
Let me be myself
So i can shine with my own light
Let me be myself
For a while, if you don’t mind
Let me be myself
So i can shine with my own light
Let me be myself
Would you one time… oooh
Let me be myself
Let me be me
