Self vs. Self Lyrics

If I struggle a lifetime
What would my body be?
An empty shell
On what a demon fed

Could be a heavy burden
To stay true to your words
Speak up
I wanna silence everything

If I got no plan
Doesn't mean that I get what I want for free
If I got no meaning
Would you force me to a place where I make sense?
'Cause nothing lasts forever

How do I get home?
Everything revolves around you
If I can't find myself?
As you're so completely fake

How do I get home?
Everything revolves around you
If even you can't help?
Dark nights from my soul

I deny failure
I Ignite
Woe is on my misery
She wins all their eyes

Realize what they find's not fate
This is not me, this is me
So if I struggle a lifetime
What good would that do?

If I got a plan
Doesn't have to stop the feeling inside
If I do make sense
Would you drag me down?
'Cause nothing lasts forever

How do I get home?
Everything revolves around you
If I can't find myself?
As you're so completely fake

How do I get home?
Everything revolves around you
If even you can't help?
Dark nights from my soul

Cover art for Self vs. Self lyrics by Pendulum

Sounds to me like a person trying to ignite a relationship.

If I got no plan / Does it mean that I get what I want for free

The plan here is having second intentions, like a guy asking a girl to "hang out" with another type of thought in mind...

If I got a plan / Doesn't have to stop the feeling inside

If he indeed has second intentions, it doesn't necessarily mean that his intention aren't honest.

If I got no meaning, / Would you force me to a place where I make sense?

If he doesn't have second intentions, will he be pushed to the friend-zone instead of a more fluid place where he can be friend and also something more at the same time?

Everything revolves around you Dark nights from my soul This is not me, this is me

This person is completely dependent on his romantic-platonic interest for meaning in his life. Not knowing if he has second intentions or not and if the other is intereted or not confuses him even more.

As you're so completely fake

The other person isn't clear about her intentions. Maybe she doesn't know it because she too is confused or maybe she wants to leave the possibiliy of a relationship open but isn't interested in one right now. Either way it's only more confusing for him, who is craving intimacy.

She wins all their eyes

May indicate that she has many admirers, which is why she might not be interested in him right now.

I deny failure / I Ignite

He rejects her uncertainty and distance and tries even harder to reach her.
