This piece is about someone who wants to get away from themself because they don’t like the kind of person they are. They know that there is no possible way anyone can escape from themselves and it ikes them that they are powerless in this situation.
Running down the street I’m frightened and scared
I slow down and ask myself, “Are they still there?”
I turn around and ask them, “Why don’t you stay away?”
I say that because I see them every since day
Back away you demon! Back away from me!
You’re there when I’m awake you’re there when I asleep!
You’re there when I’m lonely and sad
You’re there when I’ve done something bad
I can try all I want to escape from you
But when you get down to it there is nothing I can do
We’re the same person we do everything together
But the farther I get away from you the better
I will be stuck with you forever
Because I can never escape from myself
And no matter what I do I can’t get help
Nothing I can do can change fate
I’m stuck with this person…. This person I hate
