Mistaken Identity Lyrics

Everlast
“Mistaken Identity Lyrics” by Everlast is a contemplative song that talks about loneliness, heartbreak, identity, and confusion about one’s own identity. This song is set in the streets of Los Angeles where the lyrics revolve around a narrator going through regrets, a complex relationship, and an identity crisis since the man he has turned out to be is not at all the man he desires to be. The chorus with the repetition of “Hello, it’s me” gives an intimate dimension to the song as the narrator tries to find reality somewhere between his nightmare and dream.

Mistaken Identity Song Lyrics

All alone in the streets of L.A.
It's a hell of a place to be
Mistaken identity
Met a girl and I made her fall in love with me
I did it so selfishly
Mistaken identity

I've been hurting for so long
You might be right, but I ain't wrong

Hello, it's me
This man I am is not the man that I wanna be
I wish you could see
Hello, it's me
In between a nightmare and a dream, I'm chasing reality
There ain't a remedy
Mistaken identity

When you're alone, baby girl, all the light in the world's so hard to see
You're such a big part of me
Mistaken identity
Now there's a stranger in the mirror in the dark and I'm not sure what I see
But I know it's me

Hello, it's me
This man I am is not the man that I wanna be
I wish you could see
Hello, it's me
In between a nightmare and a dream, I'm chasing reality
There ain't a remedy
Mistaken identity

I've been hurting for so long
You might be right, but I ain't wrong

Hello, it's me
This man I am is not the man that I wanna be
I wish you could see
Hello, it's me
In between a nightmare and a dream, I'm chasing reality
There ain't a remedy
Mistaken identity
