Unapologetically Me
“Unapologetically Me” is a personal and poetic narrative of growing up in a world that tries to impose limits on individuality. The song opens with childlike wonder — building rocket ships out of cardboard boxes — and slowly transitions into the disillusionment of adolescence, where pressures to conform cloud self-expression. With a blend of acoustic warmth and lyrical fire, the track crescendos into an emotional declaration of self-love and identity. It’s a call to reject expectation and reclaim personal truth — a modern anthem for misfits, dreamers, and anyone still figuring it out.
Lyrics
when i was five
i felt so alive
in a cardboard box
that i'd step inside
countdown from ten
i'd fly all the way to, mars
But someday soon
i wouldn't see the moon
the years crept by
as the worries came to
and the voices said
you can't be who you are
[Pre-Chorus]
but life's written amongst those stars
[Chorus]
You can't play with boxes
Cos you're getting older
stop, sit down, it's time i told ya
Fake astronauts wont pay the bills on time
Do you hear what we say
you know we can't afford to
have you this way
so they try to mould ya
to live a different lie
[Pre-Chorus]
But this life isn't theirs it is mine
[Verse 2]
When I was ten, I stopped playing pretend,
Tried to be cool and impress my friends
But I still had to play a part, they'd wanna play
If What I know now, I could have known then
I'd rewind time, yes Id do it again
Cos those days were not ones to throw away
[Pre-Chorus]
Take me back, so i can relive those days
{MIddle 8]
And they'll say boys like girls
and girls like boys
Stop, playing with construction toys and those football boots well girl
throw them away
Older and older
I get wiser and stronger
so now , can you listen to what i say
{MIddle 8]
i can play with boxes till the day i'm through,
Let me be me and you just be you
cause if you ask me what i want to be
[Outro]
i'll tell you absolutely unambiguously absolutely unequivocally
absolutely unapologetically me
