Song Meaning (Interpretation) of “Less Of Me – Live” by Roy Fields
“Less Of Me” by Roy Fields is a song of personal and spiritual transformation. The narrator of the song reflects on a life-changing event that has left him with a newfound understanding of his place in the world. He finds himself growing closer to the divine and away from his previous conceived notions of himself. He yearns for an inner transformation, and he releases his old self as he prays, “take away all the layers that separate me from You.” He declares that he is done with following the status quo and ready to embrace a new way of life. He recognizes that he must strip away his ego and become more selfless if he wants to be closer to God. He asks for guidance, for understanding, and courage on his journey, “Lead me in the way and make me be a teacher of the truth.” Ultimately, the song ends with a plea to God to take away “all the vain, self-seeking things that try to be me.” By doing so, he hopes to take his life back and make it truly meaningful.
