“i'm not her" is a new song from Heather Kathryn on her EP ‘My Tragic Life.’ She mentioned how this song is the heart of the EP and holds a lot of significance to her. This song tells the story of what you have and what you can lose. Heather's vocals feel so raw on this track, conveying the hurt she feels deep inside. The acoustic guitar accompanies her voice in such a beautiful way. I think the simplicity of the track allows the listener to focus on the message of confusing and lost love. “i’m not her" is for the broken hearts that heal slowly and want to warn those who come after.
Heather Kathryn wrote from a narrative of someone who has been healing yet still holds pieces of this past love. The relationship held a lot of false truths and deception that linger in the back of her mind. Heather vulnerably speaks about how this person found someone new and she sometimes wishes she could tell her how much she went through with this person. Sometimes we catch feelings and it turns out to be a façade and that’s what she faced. “Wish she could know all the lies you told me to keep quiet,” depicts her internalized hope of karma. In other ways this song also could be a projection of the narrator looking back on her past self and wishing she saw what she later found out. We all wish to protect ourselves from getting hurt so I love this interpretation as well.
