Know Thyself

BACK TO LYRICS

Album: Let It Go
Music: Alexis Vear and Geoff Melkonian
Lyrics: Alexis Vear
Secret: “Many people have encouraged me to step out of my comfort zone and dare to live my dreams. One in particular would ask me, “Who are you?” Later, I learned that this person didn’t really know himself and wasn’t really living his dream. He was just as lost as I. Many people had put him on a pedestal, as if he were some kind of god. It made me realize that you best know thyself in this world, and not assume everyone has it more together than yourself. This world is a tricky place if you’re looking to other humans to save you! This man is supposed to be a writer, but he has not done that yet.”

Do you know thyself
How would you define
The question that I’m asking
Would the answer be kind

Do you know thyself
Do you answer in truth
Or use definitions
That’s are easiest to use

Chorus

Who is it that you are
What do you want to do
Are you trying to be God
Or are you being you
Who is it that you are
What do you want to do
Are you trying to be God
Or are you just being you
Do you know thyself
Do you know thyself

Well she knew this man
He was so divine
He could make her cry
Because he knew her lines were lies

He empathized with stories
In him she did believe
But what she didn’t know
Was that his lies had her deceived

Chorus

If you dig deep enough you’ll find
Truths that will help you not be blind
To the world of deception
Times are going to make you change your ways
Remember what I say
And everything will be okay

Chorus

Oh you better take the time
Better not live your life so blind
It’s up to you to know thyself
You best know thyself
