The meaning of the lyrics of the song "Lose Myself" by the artist "TobyMac"

In the song "Lose Myself", TobyMac expresses a deep desire to shed all that defines him as a person in order to find his true self in God.

The lyrical hero feels the weight of his good and bad qualities, habits, and obstacles that control his life. He asks God to "take it all" – everything he hides – and "bring [him] back to life", to open his eyes to the truth. He yearns for transformation, to reflect God's essence.

The repeating refrain "I wanna lose myself to find you" emphasizes his willingness to completely submit to the divine will, even if it means "burning it all down". He is not afraid of radical change, because his goal is to find God and fulfill His plan.

The imagery of "wreckage" behind and a "blinding future" ahead shows the hero's determination to move forward, leaving the past behind. He asks God to awaken the hidden dreams within him and to guide his life according to His design.

At the end of the song, the hero begs God not to hide His face from him, symbolizing the desire for closeness and knowledge of divine love. The repetition of the phrase "I need to find You" reinforces the thirst for unity with God.

Take all of the good and all of the bad

'Cause all of it's on me

Take all of my ways, the things that I chase

The things that control me

And all that I hide, could you bring me to life?

Could you open my eyes and show me?

Take all that was me and shape it to be

Reflecting you solely

I wanna lose myself, lose myself to find you

I wanna lose myself, lose myself to find you

I don't care how it sounds

Burn it up to the ground

Your kingdom, my desire

I wanna lose myself, lose myself to find

To find you

(I need to find you, I need to find you)

As all of the fates, I'll be on my way

The wreckage behind me

My feet on the ground, two hands reaching out

The future is blinding

So what is stirring in you? May you stir up in me

All the dreams that you placed inside me

Take all that you see and shape it to be

The story you're writing

I wanna lose myself, lose myself to find you

I wanna lose myself, lose myself to find you

I don't care how it sounds

Burn it all to the ground

Consume me with your fire

I wanna lose myself, lose myself to find

To find you

[2x:]

I need to find you... [3x]

So do not hide your face from me

Do not hide your face

Do not hide your face from me

Please don't hide

I'm gonna lose myself, lose myself to find

To find you

I need to find you... [4x]

So do not hide your face from me

Do not hide

So do not hide your face from me

Do not hide

I need to find you..

So do not hide your face from me

Do not hide

So do not hide your face from me

Do not hide

So do not hide your face from me

Please don't hide your face
