Oceanlab - I Am What I Am Lyrics






I know you've read, so many books
You keep abreast of all the things you think you should
You've got your own homegrown philosophy
It works for you but please
Don't try to make it work for me

You have nothing to prove
But you're trying much too hard

Stop trying to change me
(Stop trying to change me)
I am what I am
(I am what I am)
No I don't need you to save me
(I don't need you to save me)
I am what I am
(I am what I am)
I don't want you to show me
(I don't need you to show me)
Because I stand where I stand
(I stand where I stand)
I just need you to know me
(I just need you to know me)
Just know who I am
(Just know who I am)
Just know who I am
Just know who I am

I know you feel, you need to prove
That you are good at simply everything you try to do
And people hang, on your every word
That you deliver, with conviction
Though they may just be absurd

Leave your armour behind
Free your vulnerable mind

Stop trying to change me
(Stop trying to change me)
I am what I am
(I am what I am)
No I don't need you to save me
(I don't need you to save me)
I am what I am
(I am what I am)
I don't want you to show me
(I don't need you to show me)
Because I stand where I stand
(I stand where I stand)
I just need you to know me
(I just need you to know me)
Just know who I am
(Just know who I am)

Just know who I am
Just know who I am

  9. H.... P....

    2019 ? Still this feels awesome in this cold season. Love from India.

  10. A.... B....

    The arrogance of the lyrics almost ruin it for me.

    A.... B....

    Things this song explicitly criticizes:
    - Seeking out information in order to better yourself.
    - Attempts to establish collective truths with others.
    - Personal change. lol
    - Giving advice.
    - Being good at things. Trying to learn new things.
    - Having convictions.

    And yet: "I just need you to know me" ("I need attention and ego affirmation, but refuse any advice or suggestions of self-improvement")

    inb4 "petty comment"
    inb4 "the music is still good" Yeah and I wish the lyrics were as majestic as the music.

    As Popeye The Sailor repeated time & again .... "I y'am what I y'am & that's ALL that I y'am" ....

  17. D.... C....

    The examples of actions
    that we do in life
    in the present moment
    become experience ,
    all of that experience
    that is done
    and cannot be undone
    is now our past
    remembered as
    a memory
    which then becomes
    our foresight of wisdom
    to better our future

    I am what I am . . . . . . . .
    😇💛🙏✨

    D.... C....

    No other music like it! Just so great

  32. A.... M....

    God ! Why did this era end :( 

    A.... M....

    @Ahmed Mouelhi  because the market for this music style is not big, very few people can understand and benefit for this music so they can go in the right direction

    A.... M....

    @jad yaacoub but .........PROBABLY if they brought it back..... since they have a bigger audience now.. it'll explode

    A.... M....

    +Matthias Deriemaecker You should have been there for dreamstate LA... SO MUCH OCEANLAB WAS PLAYED! I THOUGHT I DIED AND WENT TO HEAVEN!

    A.... M....

    Nothing lasts, it's better that way.

    A.... M....

  48. A.... S....

    the beast song its main music welcome from Poland

    A.... S....

    Aleksandra Siegmund co?

  49. T.... A....

    I love this song. It makes me want to actually take time to make myself look good. For as long as I can remember I have always felt like an outsider and was bullied by the other kids. They think they need to proove they are better in everything they do. I have always felt ugly, stupid, and talentless. This song makes me feel like it's my time to shine and proove to the world I am better than what they think and being weird or somewhat a freak is what I am and I'm proud.

  50. t.... ....

    Good voice good music great lyrics allways

  51. P.... S....

    Trance is food for the soul (:

  52. S.... F....

    When i'm having a bad day...Oceanlab is there for me <3

  53. Z.... ....

    The song feels so.. Light. But so strong against that little something that it opposes. Destruction with a slight poke of the little finger. <3

  54. R.... H....

    beauty is power

  55. K.... K....

    Chill Out :]

  56. D.... ....

    Curiosity strikes: Are you trans or queer?

  57. K.... M....
