I'm Slowly Turning into you Lyrics

i'm slowly turning into you
but you don't know this
to be true
you say i'm lying and I never really tell you the truth
but your face is getting older
so put your head on my shoulder
yeah put your head on my shoulder

yesterday it hit me that
i do all the little things that you do
except the same little things that you do are annoying
they're annoying as hell in fact
it kind of struck a little bell in fact
i like to keep my little shell intact

and im slowly turning into you
and im slowly turning into you

then something else came to mind
that was the mirror
it made everything clearer
that you're more beautiful, compelling and stronger
it didn't take much longer
just for me to realise
i love all the little things
and the beauty that they're gonna bring

i dig your little laugh and im loving your quick wit
i even love it when you're faking it
and it might sound a little strange
for me to say to you
but im proud to be you

and im slowly turning into you
and im slowly turning into you
and im slowly turning into you
and im slowly turning into you
and im slowly turning into you

First of all, isn't it: "But you don't know this to be true You said I'm lying And I never really tell you the truth"

And I pretty much do this with everyone, always- and I always pick up people's habits because I like who the person is. It is annoying to feel like I'm not myself- but who makes me what I am? Everyone around me. I think is probably reflected in all those (awesome) voices.

I love this song, one of the best on the new album. I'm pretty sure ^ has something to do with it, but if the rest of the album is anything to judge from, this song probably has some sort of political twist to it.

I thank God for music like this!! It has such depth and gets my mind reeling. About the song's meaning ... It's hard to discern where you end and others begin. I like how the writer uses metacognition to analyze the parts that he has melded into his personality and thus, learns more about himself ("It kind of struck a little bell in fact/I like keep my little shell intact"). He also has gained a great appreciation for that person for being who she or he is ("It made everything clearer that you are more beautiful, compelling and stronger") What a beautifully composed song!

The beat, the organ, the solos, the multitude of voices saying "slowly turning into you", the la la la's at the end... amazing stuff, and lyrics a lot of people in a relationship can relate to.

does anyone notice that there is part of this song where it sounds a bit like nirvana's "where did you sleep last night?" song? or am i just hearing things?

When a girl I had been dating for awhile broke up with me, I was pretty annoyed because many of the things that reminded me of her were things I was doing myself.

I still have a lot of mannerisms I inadvertantly took from her along with numerous sayings and things. I'm pretty sure this is straight up relationship issues, association issues specifically. Of any of the songs that probably aren't political, this would be among the top three or so I'm sure aren't.
