Lose Your Mind Lyrics
i owe it to me, now yesterday's gone
doing it on my own
i know i'm unique, wear my scars with pride
doing it all alone
i wanna be great, i wanna be adored
doing it on my own
chameleons change, our true colors are too strong
doing it all alone
the tall world is falling down, now there's nothing lost
i know what i've got, my lights aren't crossed
naked before i
lose your mind
doing it for the love
lose your mind
doing it on my own
the future's fine
doing it all alone
lose your mind
doing it for the love
i had a taste, now what i want is more
doing it on my own
i wanna leave an impression when i'm gone
doing it all alone
in the back rooms, in the basements
the love or hate is wasted
over water, the four quarters
naked before i
lose your mind
doing it for the love
lose your mind
doing it on my own
the future's fine
doing it all alone
lose your mind
doing it for the love
i owe it to me, now yesterday's gone
doing it on my own
i know i'm unique, i'll wear these scars with pride
doing it all alone
doing it on my own
doing it all alone
doing it on my own
doing it on my own
doing it on my own
i know i'm unique, wear my scars with pride
doing it all alone
i wanna be great, i wanna be adored
doing it on my own
chameleons change, our true colors are too strong
doing it all alone
i know what i've got, my lights aren't crossed
naked before i
lose your mind
doing it for the love
lose your mind
doing it on my own
the future's fine
doing it all alone
lose your mind
doing it for the love
doing it on my own
i wanna leave an impression when i'm gone
doing it all alone
the love or hate is wasted
over water, the four quarters
naked before i
lose your mind
doing it for the love
lose your mind
doing it on my own
the future's fine
doing it all alone
lose your mind
doing it for the love
doing it on my own
i know i'm unique, i'll wear these scars with pride
doing it all alone
doing it on my own
doing it all alone
doing it on my own
doing it on my own

There seems to be a lot of frustration in the repetition of "doing it on my own, doing it alone" as if he is trying to convince himself that the mark he leaves on the world is somehow bigger than himself...as if he is trying to leave behind a legacy, yet beggs the question; what is the purpose if he is doing it all alone?
I love this song! I think this is trying to convince yourself that you're alright on your own. The "wear my scars with pride" is very cliched and seems like a mantra, he's trying to convince himself the saying is right. I think this is a song trying to celebrate independence but at the same time showing the loneliness and fear. As DriftingDreamer said the use of "doing it on my own" shows that he is very aware of being alone. I also agree that he is attempting to leave a legacy and meaning on his own, as that is all he has to do. Perhaps he wants to be remembered because he doesn't feel that he's done anything of note at the moment. The idea of being "naked" and losing your mind is clear vulnerability.
Also "I wanna be adored" - Stone Roses reference?
