Riot NRRRD: Embracing Misfit Glory
Lyrics
This song goes out to those with coke bottle glasses
This song is dedicated to those who wear glasses with thick lenses.
To all you lonely kids who were the last pick in gym classes
Addressing the lonely kids who were often chosen last in gym classes.
We got your back - detract your malefactors
Offering support and urging them to ignore those who harm them.
All you up in the back unite like Thundercats
Encouraging those in the background to unite like the Thundercats.
Get up, get up, 'cause we're fed up, fed up
Expressing frustration and urging everyone to stand up against it.
Try to rise and keep your head up, head up
Encouraging resilience and maintaining a positive attitude.
Leave the kinging to Kong, we'll be singing our song
Suggesting humility by mentioning Kong and emphasizing their own song.
Bring it on, bring it on, bring it on
Challenging others to bring on whatever difficulties come their way.
It's a sentimental journey
Referring to a journey through sentimental experiences.
Presenting sentiments of resentment that would burn me
Presenting feelings of resentment that could harm the speaker.
Unearthing archives of sharp knives turning blunt
Exploring past experiences and challenges, using a metaphor of sharp knives.
My road is to unfold, so I gotta face the front
Expressing the need to face challenges and move forward.
I used to spend my days dazed and confused
Describing a past of confusion and being dazed.
16 year underdog still donning Under-roos
Identifying as an underdog wearing Under-roos at 16.
Sorry Busta, I know my flow sounds used
Acknowledging a familiar flow, possibly influenced by Busta Rhymes.
Written and directed by the likes of John Hughes
Credit to John Hughes for the direction of their life story.
Recycled recitals of rewritten idylls
Noting the repetition of rewritten stories and ideals.
Are scrawled in the hall like Anthony Michael
Comparing to Anthony Michael Hall, known for teen roles in Hughes' films.
I lack land and title, just one of the boys
Stating a lack of status, being just one of the boys.
On islands and islands of misfit toys
Feeling like an outsider among misfit individuals.
CHORUS
Chorus section.
My field of dreams was a parking lot
Describing an unconventional field of dreams as a parking lot.
With hot shots doing donuts and pissin' off the grown-ups
Observing rebellious behavior in the parking lot.
Me on the side writing unrequited love letters
Writing letters expressing unreciprocated love on the sidelines.
That I would send to my imaginary girlfriend
Sending letters to an imaginary girlfriend due to a lack of real relationships.
I had to pretend 'cause I never played football
Pretending due to not participating in football.
The kid drafted last pick at the roll call
Being the last pick in a roll call, facing mockery.
To ease the monotony of everybody mockin me
Using rhymes as a coping mechanism against mockery.
I spent time to tend rhymes like botany
Investing time in crafting rhymes, akin to tending to plants in botany.
Now what I want to be? What you want to be?
Pondering aspirations and the desire for fame.
Maybe famous, I claim this, try to gain this
Asserting a claim to fame and expressing the attempt to gain recognition.
But sometimes it's heinous the way the shameless
Highlighting the challenges and negativity faced in pursuing fame.
Surround me like a tide and drown me
Feeling overwhelmed and surrounded by shameless individuals.
So I'm looking for intelligent life forms
Searching for intelligent and positive influences in life.
I'm looking for a blip on the screen
Seeking any sign of positivity or connection.
So I can reach out and touch somebody, anybody
Expressing the desire to connect with others emotionally.
Everybody
Repeating the word "Everybody."
Oooo Wah Oooo Wah Oooo Wah, Oooo Oooo Oooo Oooo
Vocalized sounds, possibly representing emotion or a call to action.
