I’m Laila
In this place they don’t want “me”
Silent masks are all they see
Value lies in empty skin
But inside I know within
Voices whisper “don’t resist”
Steal my face and still insist
Every echo breaks my frame
Still I fight to keep my name
They call my name, I’m Laila, Laila
Denying the shame, I’m Laila, Laila
No way to escape, I’m Laila, Laila
My name is Laila
Endless mirrors hide my cry
Copies fade and multiply
What they see is not the same
Still I burn with inner flame
Voices whisper “don’t stand tall”
Try to chain me, make me small
Even if I break apart
Still I guard my rebel heart
Forget who you are, You’re Laila, Laila
The same as we are, You’re Laila, Laila
Don’t think, just obey, You’re Laila, Laila
Your name is Laila
Laila, Laila, hear me tonight
Breaking silence, chasing light
Tearing walls that held me down
Laila, Laila, Laila, Laila…
I’m sick of it, Laila!
They call my name, I’m Laila, Laila
Denying the shame, I’m Laila, Laila
No way to escape, I’m Laila, Laila
My name is Laila
They call my name, I’m Laila, Laila
Denying the shame, I’m Laila, Laila
No way to escape, I’m Laila, Laila
I call my name, I’m only Laila
The lyrics of “My name is Laila” describe the struggle of being reduced to a name without individuality.The first chorus voices self-identity: “I’m Laila.”The second chorus turns into an oppressive chant from others: “You’re Laila.”In the bridge, frustration explodes with “I’m sick of it, Laila!”The final chorus returns to self-declaration but ends with resignation: “I’m only Laila.”The song portrays the conflict between imposed anonymity and the desire for true identity.
