About

This song is about someone betraying you.

This is about a guy I used to play music with who is someone I’d rather not talk about anymore, He double-crossed me a while ago and that was it.

—Dave Mustaine

He is most likely referring to Lars Ulrich, former bandmate in Metallica. The song was written...

Something That I’m Not Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
You said that nothing come in-between us
The way of getting things we wanted done
Then enissophobia held you under its influence
Until you compromised your style

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
Everything about you has been one big charade
What will you do now that the wells run dry? (Cry?)
To sell out all your friends and stab them in the back

[Refrain]
It's something that you are
It's something that I'm not

[Verse 4]
When you forced me into doing what you love
Mark my words no one loves you very much (Yeah mark 'em)
And when you tried to change me and tried to replace me
I couldn't help but end just hating you

[Verse 5]
Being a fraud can only last so long (You should know)
Until what you 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

[Verse 6]
Unlike you I'm no vision to myself, lest you forget
You didn't ever make metal, buddy, metal made you
To crush and run over everyone along the way

[Refrain]
It's something that you are
It's something that I'm not

[Verse 7]
A stranger to yourself, ha! You pissed me off again
I won't be driven by your needs anymore
What you'd become to do or be is clear to see for me

[Refrain]
It's something that you are
Something that I'm not

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 8]
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!)

[Verse 9]
We all laughed at the parodies that you'd 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

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]
Something I'm not, something that you are
Something I'm not

[Instrumental Break]

[Outro]
Something I'm not, something that you are
Something I'm not, something that you are
Something that I'm not... Yet
