Turning Into You Lyrics
Did you remember the echoes and embers are hid beyond my mind
The pictures are broken, the front door is open, the scars are left behind
The tables turn, your words they burn, they're leaving me undone
I plead and shake until I break and swear to God for once can you just hear me?
Just really hear me?
I've been drowning in a sea of tryna' please you
It's all I'll ever be, it's all I ever know
I try to be me but I'm turning into you
The music is hurting, the drugs aren't working, the walls come crashing down
A mental rejection, my insurrection, is crawling back somehow
The tables turn, your words they burn, I never should've come
I plead and shake until I break and swear to God for once can you just hear me?
Just really hear me?
I've been drowning in a sea of tryna' please you
It's all I'll ever be, it's all I ever know
I try to be me but I'm turning into you, turning into you!
I'm not how I used to be, I'm changing cause' of you
I'm screaming just to breathe, it's all that I can do
I try to be me but I'm turning into you, turning into you!
It's all that I can see, it's all that I can do
I try to be me but I'm turning into you!
I've been drowning in a sea of tryna' please you
It's all I'll ever be, it's all I ever know
I try to be me but I'm turning into you, turning into you!
I'm not how I used to be, I'm changing cause' of you
I'm screaming just to breathe, it's all that I can do
I try to be me but I'm turning into you, turning into you!
Turning into you!
The pictures are broken, the front door is open, the scars are left behind
The tables turn, your words they burn, they're leaving me undone
I plead and shake until I break and swear to God for once can you just hear me?
Just really hear me?
It's all I'll ever be, it's all I ever know
I try to be me but I'm turning into you
A mental rejection, my insurrection, is crawling back somehow
The tables turn, your words they burn, I never should've come
I plead and shake until I break and swear to God for once can you just hear me?
Just really hear me?
It's all I'll ever be, it's all I ever know
I try to be me but I'm turning into you, turning into you!
I'm not how I used to be, I'm changing cause' of you
I'm screaming just to breathe, it's all that I can do
I try to be me but I'm turning into you, turning into you!
I try to be me but I'm turning into you!
It's all I'll ever be, it's all I ever know
I try to be me but I'm turning into you, turning into you!
I'm not how I used to be, I'm changing cause' of you
I'm screaming just to breathe, it's all that I can do
I try to be me but I'm turning into you, turning into you!

People have given this song a lot of hate for sounding very similar to Rise Against's Ready to Fall. I was exactly the same way when I first heard it, but now I think they did that on purpose. Ready to Fall is a famous enough song that it probably wasn't an accident and The Offspring is smart enough to know not to copy other bands. This song seems to be about struggling to draw the line between who you want to be and who others want you to be. The Offspring has gotten a lot of hate for how much they've changed in recent years, with people accusing them off turning into a Rise Against clone, so this song's music is representing that. The lyrics about that struggle: "The pictures are broken, the front door's open, the scars are left behind" (They want to try something new and take the band in a different direction), "Could you just hear me, just really hear me" (Give the new style a chance), "I've been drowning in a sea of tryna please you, it's all I'll ever be, it's all I ever knew" (they feel so pressured to do what the fans want but they're tired of doing the same thing as before) "Another rejection, my insurrection" (The fans won't accept the new music).
