Lost Identity: The Struggle of Being 'With You'

Mokita's song 'With You' delves into the emotional turmoil of losing one's identity in a relationship. The lyrics poignantly express the singer's feeling of not being himself when he is with his partner. This sense of disconnection is evident from the very beginning, where he admits to feeling like someone else. The repetition of 'with you' emphasizes the constant presence of this other persona that he adopts, highlighting the depth of his internal conflict.

The song explores the theme of self-alienation, where the singer feels like a 'lunatic' and acknowledges that his behavior is not right. He is aware of the stakes and the impact his actions have on his partner, yet he feels powerless to change. This is further complicated by his admission that 'half of me is not enough of me to give,' suggesting that he is incomplete and unable to fully commit to the relationship. The missing piece of his identity creates a barrier to genuine connection and fulfillment.

Mokita also touches on the struggle for clarity and honesty in the relationship. He questions the value of honesty if it only leads to more pain, indicating a sense of hopelessness. The line 'I don't wanna be the guy your parents want' reveals the pressure to conform to external expectations, which exacerbates his sense of losing himself. The recurring refrain of not feeling like himself 'with you' underscores the central conflict of the song: the struggle to maintain one's true identity while being in a relationship that demands change.
