The Inner Struggle of Self-Identity in 'Me, Myself & I'

Oliver Tree's song 'Me, Myself & I' delves into the complexities of self-identity and the internal conflicts that arise from it. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of someone grappling with their own sense of self, feeling weak and unable to communicate effectively. The repeated lines about feeling weak and barely able to speak or walk suggest a deep sense of vulnerability and frustration. This vulnerability is further emphasized by the contradictory statements and the feeling of being an outcast, which Oliver Tree describes as both liberating and isolating.

The chorus, with its repeated phrase 'Myself included, I don't really wanna be that way,' highlights the internal struggle of accepting oneself. The singer acknowledges their flaws and contradictions, yet there's a sense of resistance to fully embracing these aspects of their identity. This internal conflict is a common theme in Oliver Tree's music, where he often explores the tension between self-acceptance and self-criticism.

The song also touches on the theme of forgiveness, both from others and oneself. The line 'I'm still forgiven, no way' suggests a disbelief in being forgiven, possibly hinting at a deeper sense of guilt or self-blame. This is juxtaposed with the feeling of being an outcast, which the singer paradoxically finds 'great.' This duality reflects the complex nature of human emotions and the difficulty of reconciling different parts of oneself. Overall, 'Me, Myself & I' is a poignant exploration of the inner turmoil that comes with understanding and accepting one's identity.
