Social Casualty
Rising Against Conformity
Lyrics
La la la la la la da da
Expressing a nonspecific, rhythmic vocalization
La la la la la la da da (Ooh!)
Continuation of nonspecific vocalization with an expression of excitement
Just a kid it's all the same
Emphasizing the common experience of being young
Growing up, it doesn't change
Stating that growing up doesn't alter certain aspects
Who are they to try and put us down? (Try and put us down)
Questioning the authority's right to criticize
Had enough of what they say
Feeling fed up with criticism
Sick and tired of all their games,
Tired of engaging in games set by others
Stand up and sing it with me now. (Sing it with me now)
Encouraging others to join in standing up against negativity
La la la la la la da da
Reiteration of nonspecific vocalization
La la la la la la da da
-So save me from who I'm supposed to be
Pleading to be saved from societal expectations
Don't wanna be a victim of authority
Rejecting the idea of becoming a victim of authority
I'll always be a part of the minority
Embracing being part of the minority rather than conforming
Save me from who I'm supposed to be
Repeated pleas to be saved from societal pressures
So tell me, tell me, tell me what you want from me,
-I don't wanna be another social casualty.
-(Social casualty)
-Just a girl turned eighteen
Telling a story of a girl who defies expectations and pursues her dreams
She ran away to chase her dreams.
-And they said she wouldn't make it far. (Wouldn't make it far)
-She took a chance and packed her bags
-She left town and didn't look back
-So tired of wishing on the stars (Wishing on the stars.)
-La la la la la la da da
Repeated pleas to be saved from societal pressures
La la la la la la da da
-So save me from who I'm supposed to be
-Don't wanna be a victim of authority
-I'll always be a part of the minority
-Save me from who I'm supposed to be
-So tell me, tell me, tell me what you want from me,
-I don't wanna be another social casualty.
-La la la la la la da da
Continuation of the plea to be saved from societal norms
La la la la la la da da
-So save me from who I'm supposed to be
-Don't wanna be a victim of authority
-I'll always be a part of the minority
Acknowledging a perpetual belonging to the minority
Save me from who I'm supposed to be
Continuation of the plea to be saved from societal norms
So tell me, tell me, tell me what you want from me,
-I don't wanna be another social casualty.
-La la la la la la da da
Reiteration of nonspecific vocalization
La la la la la la da da (Social casualty)
-La la la la la la da da
-La la la la la la da da
