Quotes / "I Am Becoming" Song

"No more memories, no more silent tears!

No more gazing across the wasted years..."

—Christine, The Phantom of the Opera, Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again

Like a phoenix burning bright in the sky
I'll show there's another side to me you can't deny
I may not know what the future holds
But hear me when I say
That my past does not defy me,
'Cause my past is not today!

—Sunset Shimmer, My Little Pony: Equestria Girls – Rainbow Rocks Shorts, My Past Is Not Today

And I'll pride myself

Now I know my time has come

Now's the time for all my fear to dissappear

No more doubting; this is where I'm from

And starting now

I promise this forevermore:

This absent coder won't be absent anymore!

—The Absent Coder, "Pride Yourself," SOSchip, Episode 5, "Hostile California"

The Barbara you married
She is dead and buried
Six feet below
And now Barbara the doormat
She's coming back in a new format
Time to let go
Say hello

To Barbara 2.0!

— Barbara Maitland, Beetlejuice, "Barbara 2.0"

I think I see it in a different light
Maybe the stuff I thought was wrong was right
I think I like it, but I'm still undecided
How to choose, what to do
A new way to go

Janja, The Lion Guard, "New Way To Go" (from "Battle for the Pride Lands")

"Don't need to hear a crowd cheering out my name
I didn't come here seeking infamy or fame
The one and only thing that I am here to bring
Is music, is the music, is the music in my soul
Gonna break out, (Out!) set myself free, yeah
Let it all go (Go!) just let it be, yeah
Find the music in your heart
Let the music make you start
To set yourself apart!"

— The Rainbooms, My Little Pony: Equestria Girls – Rainbow Rocks, "Welcome to the Show"

"Something has changed within me
Something is not the same...
I'm through with playing by the rules of someone else's game...
Too late for second guessing, too late to go back to sleep
It's time to trust my instincts, close my eyes ... and leap!
It's time to try defying gravity
I think I'll try defying gravity
And you can't pull me down!"

— Elphaba, Wicked, "Defying Gravity"

Think I'm starting to change
With the weeks and the days

beabadoobee, "I Wish I Was Stephen Malkmus"

"I just made something unexpected,
Something sharp, something new...
(Uh, Isa? This is the part where we...)
It's not symmetrical or perfect,
But it's beautiful
And it's mine...
What else can I do?"

— Isabella (and Mirabel), Encanto, "What Else Can I Do?"

I'm finally me
I'm gonna shout it out
What's lost has now been found
Can't dim this light inside me
I'm finally me
No longer gonna hide
I'm just like dynamite
Can't hold me back, now I'm free

— Addison Wells, Zombies 3, "I'm Finally Me"
