Lyrics Steps 3 & 4 : Becoming Yourself - Sylvan LaCue

I'm like hella like hard on myself, because I'm a perfectionist.
Um so I feel like just being a perfectionist is a gift and a curse
But as I continue to make music and grow
I'm becoming more of myself.
So, this whole perspective of who I thought
I was is constantly shedding
I think it has to change.
I mean the world changes really quickly
So you gotta be willing to change with it
Or you're not going to go anywhere
Yeah I know but I feel like for me
I think I had to get over me wanting to be liked,
And that being part of my perfection.
I'm amazing I'm great like what did I do wrong?
Why don't we vibe?
Or why didn't you understand what I just said?
You know what I mean?
So I had to recognize there's only so much adopting I have to do
There's that unique position where like you said not trying to
Conform too much and then growing up
All your taught is to conform with society.
Okay well, you go to school like everybody faces the front.
You go to the restaurant and everybody is in the fucking
"Alright, hand me my food" "next" "hand me my food" "next".
And as an artist it's like get me the fuck out of this
That's good it seems like we're all,
We all have an understanding and are apathetic to the fact that
Weneed to respect and give ourselves
The humanity to be very different to what is practical
Which actually brings me to the next question.
Though we are different there are some ways of finding common ground
Actually in our differences we find common ground.
Why is arriving at common ground a really
Appropriate thing even if we're different?
