He was tired of his addictions and tired of life, which inspired the title, I Don&#8217;t Wanna Be Me. He didn&#8217;t want to be Pete anymore. Hickey also stated that the song, which is unusually simple and fast for the band, was created in response to his irritation with Steele&#8217;s typical complicated, multi-part arrangements.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;N&#8217;t Wanna Be Me&#8221; is a song by American gothic metal band Type O Negative.
