Don't Play Pretend
Embracing Imperfection: A Song of Authenticity
Lyrics
I like my days with a little rain
I enjoy having some challenges or difficulties in my life.
I like my ways a bit insane
I appreciate unconventional or eccentric aspects of my personality.
I prefer some gloom to boost my mood
I'd rather have a bit of sadness to uplift my emotions.
It's just may go do what you wanna do
Just go ahead and pursue your desires without hesitation.
Feeling happy, I'm feeling blue
I experience both happiness and sadness.
Feeling lucky I'm not like you
I feel fortunate not to be like others.
Yeah it's likely that things will go wrong
Challenges and mistakes are likely, but it's beautiful if you participate in life.
But it's lovely if you play along
Even with potential difficulties, engaging in life is delightful.
You know I love it when, love it when
Expressing enjoyment when on a challenging path.
I'm on that juice cleanse with a cigarette
Contrasting healthy habits with a contradictory one (smoking).
I'm down to earth but still a space cadet
Being grounded yet having a dreamy or unconventional side.
At my best, I'm a mess
My best self is imperfect but genuine.
Least I don't play pretend
A refusal to engage in pretense or falsehood.
I like to mess up feng shui
Disrupting order or harmony intentionally.
Sleeping in my bed the other way
Choosing to do things differently, even in mundane tasks.
I like to wait in line too long
Finding value in waiting for what I desire.
Makes it sweet when I get what I want
The joy of achieving something after a long wait.
Feeling happy, I'm feeling blue
Experiencing both happiness and sadness.
Feeling lucky I'm not like you
Grateful for not conforming to societal norms.
Yeah, it's likely that things will go wrong
Life's challenges are expected, but it's wonderful if you embrace them.
But it's lovely if you play along
Despite potential obstacles, participating in life is lovely.
You know I love it when, love it when
Expressing enjoyment when on a challenging path.
I'm on that juice cleanse with a cigarette
Contrasting healthy habits with a contradictory one (smoking).
I'm down to earth but still a space cadet
Being grounded yet having a dreamy or unconventional side.
At my best, I'm a mess
My best self is imperfect but genuine.
Least I don't play pretend
Affirming authenticity and rejecting pretense.
(Least I don't play pretend)
Reiterating the rejection of pretense.
Don't try to put me in your world
Refusing to conform to someone else's expectations or world.
I don't fit in with all those fake plastic pretty girls
Feeling out of place among artificial and superficial individuals.
No, you're the one that's insecure
Asserting that the other person is the one insecure in the situation.
Wish I could show you that there's more
Expressing a desire to show there's more to oneself than meets the eye.
You know I love it when, love it when
Expressing enjoyment when on a challenging path.
I'm on that juice cleanse with a cigarette
Contrasting healthy habits with a contradictory one (smoking).
I'm down to earth but still a space cadet
Being grounded yet having a dreamy or unconventional side.
At my best, I'm a mess
My best self is imperfect but genuine.
Least I don't play pretend
Affirming authenticity and rejecting pretense.
You know I love it when, love it when
Expressing enjoyment when on a challenging path.
I'm on that juice cleanse with a cigarette
Contrasting healthy habits with a contradictory one (smoking).
I'm down to earth but still a space cadet
Being grounded yet having a dreamy or unconventional side.
At my best, I'm a mess
My best self is imperfect but genuine.
Least I don't play pretend
Affirming authenticity and rejecting pretense.
(Least I don't play pretend)
Reiterating the rejection of pretense.
