Something That I'm Not Is A Song On Megadeth's Album: The System Has Failed.
Controversy
The Guitar Solo In The Song sounds very much like the first guitar guitar solo in Yngwie Malmsteen's 'Rising Force'.
Lyrics
Your mind tells you that you've lost your confidence You're drifting and you don't believe in anyone To lose what little you have left to be proud of Afraid you can't do this again, owww...
You said that nothing comes in between us And the way of getting things we wanted done Then enissophobia helps you under its influence Until you compromise your style
Everything about you has been one big charade What will you do now that the well's run dry? Cry? To sell-out all your friends and stab them in the back It's something that you are, something that I'm not
When you forced me into doing what you love Mark my words no one loves you very much And when you tried to change me and tried to replace me I couldn't help but end just hating you, mmmm....
Being a fraud can only last so long, you should know till what ya sensed as a child returns, you little baby To choke out the voice that told you money and the fame Would fill the crater that you dug for yourself
Unlike you, I'm no vision to myself, lest you forget You didn't ever make metal, buddy, metal made you To crush and roll over everyone along the way Is something that you are, something that I'm not
A stranger to yourself, ha, you've pissed me off again I won't be driven by your needs anymore What you've become to do or be is clear to see for me It's something that you are, something I'm not
It makes me sick to hear you say you love me I know you only love what I can do for you If you were the one that was leading the charge Would you notice if I missed a day or two? But that's impossible!
We all laughed at the parodies that you've become Now your pain, slowly paid back has begun So, accept my resignation, or in your words, betrayal Before it gets much worse, end this self-sabotage
Something I'm not Something that you are Something that I'm not... yet
