Acoustic ballad, modern folk
The journey of shedding false identities and beliefs unfolds in this hopeful yet bittersweet song. It explores the transformative process of "unbecoming" – stripping away what isn’t truly you. The lyrics reflect this journey: “I am unbecoming, not falling apart, but stripping away what’s not of my heart. Each layer removed brings me closer to true, to the face in the mirror, to the person I knew." The uplifting and tender tone, complemented by warm melodies, signifies healing and renewal.
Verse 1
I am unbecoming, like leaves in the fall,
Shedding the weight, the stories, the walls.
Each layer removed reveals what’s true,
A face in the mirror, a self I once knew.
Chorus
Unbecoming, not breaking apart,
But finding the roots buried deep in my heart.
Each tear, each scar, a piece of my soul,
Unbecoming is how I become whole.
Verse 2
The voices I carried, the roles I played,
The masks I wore to keep fear at bay.
But I’m learning to let them fall to the ground,
In the silence, my truth is found.
Chorus
Unbecoming, not breaking apart,
But finding the roots buried deep in my heart.
Each tear, each scar, a piece of my soul,
Unbecoming is how I become whole.
Bridge
It’s not destruction, it’s creation,
A quiet, slow transformation.
I’m not lost, I’m just returning,
To the fire inside that’s always been burning.
Chorus
Unbecoming, not breaking apart,
But finding the roots buried deep in my heart.
Each tear, each scar, a piece of my soul,
Unbecoming is how I become whole.
Outro
I am unbecoming, and in the end,
I find my beginning, I start again.
