Lose Your Mind Lyrics

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?
