JJ Heller's song "The Very Thought Of You" is a reflective piece about the struggle to be authentic and the realization that trying to please others is exhausting. The lyrics express a journey from fear and pretense to embracing one's true self, acknowledging that human effort falls short. The song hints at a spiritual awakening, as the singer finds peace in accepting who they are, which can be seen as a metaphor for surrendering to God's design. It encourages listeners to let go of the need for approval and find rest in their identity as created beings.
Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
I wanted to save the day
I wanted to drown all your sorrows
I did what I thought I should
It didn't do anyone a bit of good
But I tried
So who do you want me to be
I will give my best effort
And if I succeed consequently I will be the lesser
This is my collection of thoughts
Take it or leave if you want
I can't be who I'm not anymore
I've been wasting my time
Going out of my mind tryin' to please you
I find it's never enough
I have grown tired of being afraid to cry
When I live a lie I feel something inside of me die
Then a revelation comes from the inside
'Cause I am who I am
Who am I to question creation
For whatever it's worth here is my humble reflection
A collection of thoughts...
