Who Are You? (Single)
Who Are You? is an early single in DempseyRollBoy’s catalog, produced by Musicality and grounded in a sad boom bap / lofi vibe with emotional, autotuned vocals. Instead of telling a story outward, the song turns inward, asking one of the hardest and most uncomfortable questions someone can ask themselves: Who am I really?
Lyrics
-
Who the f**k am I?
Who the f**k am I supposed to be?
What defines a person?
I ponder uncontrollably
Do memories exist?
’Cause all of ’em were told to me
What’s the point of life?
I guess to me it’s poetry
I’m so afraid by the concept of reality
What if this is fake?
What if everything is actually?
What if nothing happens
after I jump off a balcony?
What if every time I sleep
I go to different galaxies?
I see my reflection
I just see what I perceive
All of us the same
Everybody f**king bleeds
Technology’s taking over
We’re merging with machines
I’m a human being
But I don’t know what it means
Is everything about us
Merely measured by accomplishments?
Is the purpose of success
Just to get acknowledgment?
Broken down bad
Hence the lack of my responsiveness
Compared to the rest
I’m feeling like I’m incompetent
Listen to my question
“Who are you, what have you done?”
Are you satisfied
With the person you’ve become?
’Cause I’m not,
I feel like I’ve just begun
The truth is essential
It’s something you must confront
Searching for myself, I don’t know where to find me
Nothing’s set in stone, I don’t know what I might be
Running out of life, you don’t gotta remind me
Living by myself, got nobody beside me
Done with this, yeah
Why’d it have to come to this? Yeah
I’m so f**king numb to it, yeah
Nothing that a d**g can fix
But I’m doing d**gs and s**t
Beginning to fall but I’m bracing myself
For the pain I’ma face when I fall down
Used to this feeling, the truth is revealing
I’m high as the ceiling like, aw yeah
Said it was over so why is you playing?
B***h, why are you calling my phone, girl?
Sick of this planet, I wish I could leave it
So that I could live in my own world
I thought maybe I would find out
Who the f**k I am or something
Looking didn’t do s**t for me
So I did it all for nothing
I’m not sure I recognize me
Or the person I’m becoming
Know I gotta face the fact
That I’m insane, but I’ve been running
Tryna keep my head up but times been getting hard
Feel like giving up, I’m tired of staying strong
We all gotta go but I’m already gone
Losing part of me, I’m taking a heavy loss
Playing with my feelings when you never had the right to
Fighting my reflection, told myself “I never liked you”
I miss all the people that I had to say goodbye to
But I promise moving on turned out to be the right move
Searching for myself, I don’t know where to find me
Nothing’s set in stone, I don’t know what I might be
Running out of life, you don’t gotta remind me
Living by myself, got nobody beside me
Done with this, yeah
Why’d it have to come to this? Yeah
I’m so f**king numb to it, yeah
Nothing that a d**g can fix
But I’m doing dr**s and s**t
