Be Yourself by Audioslave | Lyrics Meaning Explained

Be Yourself by Audioslave, a crowd favourite song from the early 2000s all over the world, is one of the most meaningful songs ever. Chris Cornell, who was the lead singer of the band at the time, often regarded this as one of his best works. Even though fans appreciate this song primarily for its music, I have personally always loved its lyrics more than anything else, especially for the depth and imagery they carry. And those lyrics are the topic for today’s video too.
Join me as I dive deep into the powerful lyrics of this beautiful song. If understood in depth, I feel that this is one song that has the power to inspire and resonate with listeners around the world irrespective of the life situation they are in. In this video, I break down the poignant messages embedded within the lyrics, exploring themes of authenticity, struggle, and redemption. Discover the stories and images behind the song, the emotional weight it carries, and how it encourages us to embrace our true selves despite the situations we find ourselves entangled in.
You do not need to be a fan of Audioslave or Chris Cornell or alternative rock music from the 2000s to actually appreciate these lyrics. Even if you are new to any of this, this analysis will deepen your appreciation of the timeless relevance of one of the most philosophical songs you would ever come across - Be Yourself.

Here are the lyrics for your reference:
======
Someone falls to pieces
Sleeping all alone
Someone kills the pain
Spinning in the silence
She finally drift away
Someone gets excited
In a chapel yard
Catches a bouquet
Another lays a dozen
White roses on a grave
And be yourself is all that you can do
To be yourself is all that you can do
Someone finds salvation in everyone
Another only pain
Someone tries to hide themself
Down inside himself he prays
Someone swears their true love
Until the end of time
Another runs away
separate or united?
Healthy or insane?
And be yourself is all that you can do (all that you can do)
To be yourself is all that you can do (all that you can do)
To be yourself is all that you can do (all that you can do)
Be yourself is all that you can do
Even when you've paid enough
Been pulled apart
Or been held up
Every single memory of
The good or bad, faces of love
Don't lose any sleep tonight
I'm sure everything will end up alright
You may win or lose
But to be yourself is all that you can do
To be yourself is all that you can do
To be yourself is all that you can do (all that you can do)
To be yourself is all that you can do (all that you can do)
To be yourself is all that you can
Be yourself is all that you can
Be yourself is all that you can do
