Be Yourself - 2009

Looking at people from the cameras
Made me realise that maybe I didn't know them as well as I thought
Some people put on fronts in front of others
While others just stay true to themself (Uh-huh)

Don't hide
Be your true self
Maybe you will find that people will like you even more

CHORUS
I know because I've been one too
I know because I've put on a front too-o, a front too-o
I know because I've pretended too
I know because I've got out of it too-o, of it too-o

Don't despair
Don't cry
The world's waiting to know the real you

Maybe one day you will realise
It isn't all as it seems to be (oh yeah)
To thine ownself be true
Just follow those words and you'll find it's true
It isn't all about popularity
It's also about who you really are inside

Chorus

You will find
That everything will be alright

Be yourself
Be yourself
Just be yourself (Ah-a)
Don't despair
Don't cry
Don't hide
Don't fight
Be yourself (Woo-whoa-oh)

Chorus

Be yourself
Because that's what you do best
Ah-a Ah-a Ah-a...
Be yourself



The true meaning is that one needs to be himself/herself through every day and every night and if one succeeds in doing so, then, it would be impossible to be anyone else but yourself. Knowing yourself is important, though personally I think it is impossible to understand every aspect of ones being entirely, it is still the first step to leading a truthful life. If one believes in the Holy Bible, they would know it states that, “Thou shalt not bear false witness,” meaning that one shouldn't lie to themselves nor anyone else. It was stated back before time to be true to thyself and everyone else around you for fair justice amongst all. People tend to live life like theater, acting with masks that read other than what they truly are. So be true to yourself and to others, that way there is no confusion, no illusion.
