“Who I Am” is the 5th track off of Code Orange’s new record Underneath.
The song’s content seems to reference the story of Ricardo Lopez, a man who became obsessed with the singer Bjork.
One of the samples at the beginning of the song is Ricardo himself saying “I wanna show you who I am” and the s...
[Intro]
I wanna show you
Who I am
[Verse 1]
A broken recluse on the inside
Obsession's just the escape
You're beautiful on the inside
I'm filled with prismatic shame
My house of worship the blue light
So much simpler through the screen
Chromosome two X's and Y
It's not always what it seems
You're so perfect from the outside
I stalked and studied away
You're marigold and I'm fluoride
At least that's what I'll portray
[Pre-Chorus]
I wanna show you who I am
[Chorus]
I wanna show you who I am
Swear you won't put me away
You'll be the best part of my plan
Swear you won't put me down
[Verse 2]
He knew she'd wipe the filth of life
Perception is a dangerous game
"The best of me September 12th"
He took that bet to his grave
[Chorus]
I wanna show you who I am
Swear you won't put me away
You'll be the best part of my plan
Swear you won't put me down
[Outro]
Lock me up
Lock me up
Lock me up and throw away the key
I'll always find a way to prove I'm not the enemy
Lock me up
I wanna show you who I am
Lock me up
I wanna show you who I am
Lock me up
I wanna show you who I am
Lock me up
Frankly, my life ain't worth shit

Jami: “This is an almost dreamy, dark pop song on the surface that gets progressively more twisted and mangled. It’s about our modern [obsession with] stalking each other through our phones and studying the way that we behave, and how that would have been thought of in a different time versus how it...
JM: “This is an observation on obsession through the lens of stalkers, and how that was looked at in the past, versus how people present themselves through social media. It’s this unrequited idealization. In the past—and still, obviously—it’s driven people mad and they’ve done horrible things. But n...
