about

this song is about the human condition... and how it's all of ours... the fight to be who you want rather than who you have become.

lyrics

there's something wrong with me
i keep doing what i see,
giving up all the unique parts of me
like the monkey i am,
i'm acting like that monkey i am , i am

i wonder if i'll ever get back
start thinking for myself again
i gotta stop wandering

what's wrong with me
i fall victim to my fears
cause i believe
all the nonsense that i hear
like the monkey i am, i am
i'm acting like that monkey i am, i am

and i'm afraid that i'll never get back
if i don't start thinking for myself again
can't keep piling it up
just to watch it come tumbling
and i watch myself fall
time and time again
i gotta stop wandering

deep in a dream
i'm moving mountains inside me
and i'm rising up
and i'm refusing to be treated
like the monkey i am, i am
not acting like that monkey i am, i am
not acting like that monkey i am, i am
not acting like that monkey i am, i am
