Skeptic Man in My Head

by Masahiro Shinoda

/

about

[CONCEPT]
You might have heard the doubtful version of yourself whispering in your ear, “Am I really okay to keep on doing this?” Today, we have access to a lot of information that seemingly helps us achieve our goals. But, this might also make it challenging to focus on what we’ve decided to achieve. If you get stuck in the mire of skepticism towards your decision, you may overlook the simple fact: no matter how well-equipped, you won't reach anywhere if you don't start the journey. Trust your past self who has made the decision, and continue to focus on doing what you’ve decided to do. Ultimately, this will build momentum and get you closer to your goals.

lyrics

[LYRICS]
Tell me why
Tell me why
Everything still looks the same
Even though I tried my best
Nothing has changed as I wished

A sense of doubt
Began to grow
In my mind
It’s hard to tame
Am I on the right track?
Oh, I can’t help looking back!

Give me the strength
I wanna believe
My decision turns out to be right
And take away
The skeptic man from my head
Then, I’ll be alright

When I find my mind is messing with the doubts
(Take the buzz away!)
I need to stop and take a listen to my heart
(I wanna go on my way!)

“Keep on going”
Said my heart
“keep on trying
What you feel is right”

Feeling like I’m standing at
A crossroads of possible ways
Sooner or later, I should make up my mind
Following my heart
I'll keep going on

A sense of doubt
Grows so fast
In my mind
It’s going to blast
Am I on the right track?
Oh, I can’t help looking back!

This life is mine
So hold the wheel
before someone takes the driver’s seat
And be aware
Of the skeptic man in my head
Keep an eye on him

When I find my mind is messing with the doubts
(Take the buzz away!)
I stop to wipe the sweat off my face

“Keep on going”
Said my heart
“keep on trying
What you feel is right”

Feeling like I’m standing at
A crossroads of possible ways
Sooner or later, I should make up my mind
Following my heart
I'll keep going on

Take the buzz away from my head!
Only thing I can do is
believe in the way I’ve been going on

Give me the strength
I wanna believe
My decision turns out to be right
And take away
The skeptic man from my head
Then, I’ll be alright

This life is mine
So hold the wheel
Before someone takes the driver’s seat
And be aware
Of the skeptic man in my head
Keep an eye on him

When I find my mind is messing with the doubts
(Take the buzz away!)
I need to stop and take breath - one or two
That’s everything I need to do

Then, I can keep on going on my way
