Low Self Opinion Lyrics
I think you got a low self opinion man
I see you standing all by yourself
Unable to express the pain of your distress
You withdraw deeper inside
And everybody else
They wonder what´s on your mind
They got so tired of you
And your self ridicule
They wrote you off and left you behind
You sleep alone at night
You never woder why
All this bitterness wells up inside you
You always victimize
So you can criticize yourself
And all those around you
The hatred you project
Does nothing to protect you
You leave yourself so exposed
You want to open up
When someone says
Lighten up
You find all you doors closed
Get youself a break from self rejection
Try some introspection
And you just might find
It´s not so bad and anyway
At the end of the day
All you have is yourself and your mind
The self hatred that blinds you
Binds you grinds you keeps you down
The world falls down around you
You build up walls around you
You war disgust like a crown
If you could see the you that I see
When I see you seeing me
You´d see yourself so differently
Believe me
I know the self doubt that runs inside your mind
I know the self doubt that treats you so unkind
If you could see the you that I see
When I see you
You would see things differently
I assure you
I see you standing all by yourself
Unable to express the pain of your distress
You withdraw deeper inside
And everybody else
They wonder what´s on your mind
They got so tired of you
And your self ridicule
They wrote you off and left you behind
You never woder why
All this bitterness wells up inside you
You always victimize
So you can criticize yourself
And all those around you
Does nothing to protect you
You leave yourself so exposed
You want to open up
When someone says
Lighten up
You find all you doors closed
Get youself a break from self rejection
Try some introspection
And you just might find
It´s not so bad and anyway
At the end of the day
All you have is yourself and your mind
The self hatred that blinds you
Binds you grinds you keeps you down
The world falls down around you
You build up walls around you
You war disgust like a crown
When I see you seeing me
You´d see yourself so differently
Believe me
I know the self doubt that treats you so unkind
When I see you
You would see things differently
I assure you

The singer is talking to a specific person who is insecure, and he's breaking them down so they can learn & build themselves up in a healthier way
To be completely honest, this song spoke to me. I was in a really dark place. I was ready. I was listening to some music on my patio before. Fate had another plan apparently. This song came on. It felt like Henry grabbed me by the f***ing collar and was yelling my face., and told me I was worth a damn. Ever since then, I have remembered this song. "If you could see the you that I see, When I see you, You would see things differently, I assure you" It made me realize that I am only viewing myself from the lens of my own thoughts. I reached out to my friends and family, and they saw a different person. It snapped me out of my dark place. Henry Rollins saved my life.
Don't be so hard on yourself. It ain't so bad.
The me from two years ago can relate to this song. I think this song might be about someone who cant forgive themselves. people try to help but its no used. by the end of the song, he came to the realization that no one but himself can change the hatred and the miserable life hes living. "If you could see the you that I see When I see you seeing me You�d see yourself so differently Believe me" this song could be about some sort of mental illness.
This song is ike a psychological diagnose screamed from the top of the lungs.
Apparently, Rollins wrote this about his drummer. I read that somewhere...
posicore
Henry Rollins writes the most awesome lyrics!
What is he saying on the outro I wanna know..sounds like low-asshole or low-and-so

Low (S)elf (O)pinion
Low (S)elf (O)pinion
His real experiences in scenes, all the bone heads he has acknowledged and tolerated and left behind he cared about them, trying to use something other than direct violence
