Lyrics
Ah, ah, ah
Repetitive vocalizations, possibly indicating a struggle or emotional intensity.
I'm gonna get dark and I wish I wasn't
Expressing a desire to delve into darker emotions or aspects of oneself.
But every time I see myself I wish I wasn't me
An inner conflict, feeling dissatisfaction with one's identity upon self-reflection.
Stop me on the street
Addressing external observation and interaction, possibly from others.
Why are you so sad
Questioning the observer about personal sadness.
Ask me when am I finally gonna look like I'm happy
Highlighting external pressure to appear happy, raising questions about authenticity.
Maybe when you stop breathin' down my neck
Expressing discomfort with close scrutiny and a desire for personal space.
Maybe when you guys take your judging eyes off me
Challenging judgmental attitudes and the pressure of societal expectations.
Cuz this glasshouse gets a little tiring
Metaphorical reference to living in a fragile situation, tired of constant evaluation.
I'm only perfect cuz I'm livin' under your scrutiny
Acknowledging the pursuit of perfection under external judgment.
Well I want off of this pedestal of perfection
Expressing a desire to break free from the burden of perfection.
But my arms are chained down to the floor of correction
Feeling restrained and corrected, unable to escape the pursuit of perfection.
I don't want to fall out, but I don't know-how
Expressing a fear of falling out of the societal norm or expectations.
And all I know is now
Uncertain about the path forward, living in the present moment.
I am never gonna make you proud
Rejecting the likelihood of meeting external expectations.
Ah, ah, ah
Repetition for emotional emphasis or intensity.
Never know what I'm thinkin' till I write it down
Difficulty expressing thoughts verbally, resorting to writing.
Only speak when spoken to and even then I don't speak loud
Quiet and reserved nature, even when prompted to speak.
But I can feel my patience flyin' out the window
Losing patience with external pressure and expectations.
Maybe you should go
Suggesting the observer should leave due to the discomfort caused.
I think it's best if you weren't around
Expressing a preference for solitude or a lack of external judgment.
When I get off of this pedestal of perfection
Reiteration of the desire to break free from societal expectations.
But my arms are chained down to the floor of correction
Continued feeling of being restrained and corrected despite the desire to escape.
I don't want to fall out, but I don't know-how
Repeating the fear of falling out of societal norms.
And all I know is now
Reaffirmation of the difficulty in meeting external expectations.
I am never gonna make you proud
Reiteration of the expectation of not meeting external standards.
Oh am I goin' crazy
Questioning one's sanity in the face of external pressures.
I know you don't want me to yell
Acknowledging the desire to avoid confrontation but feeling compelled to express oneself.
Tired of being a lady, so throw me in the jail cell
Expressing frustration with societal expectations of femininity.
When I get off of this pedestal of perfection
Reiterating the desire to break free from societal expectations.
But my arms are chained down to the floor of correction
Continued feeling of being restrained and corrected despite the desire to escape.
I don't want to fall out, but I don't know-how
Repeating the fear of falling out of societal norms.
And all I know is now
Reaffirmation of the difficulty in meeting external expectations.
I am never gonna make you proud
Reiteration of the expectation of not meeting external standards.
I want off of this pedestal of perfection
Final expression of the desire to break free from societal expectations.
But my arms are still chained down to the floor of correction
Despite the desire, the feeling of being restrained persists.
I don't want to fall out, but I don't know-how
Repeating the fear of falling out of societal norms.
And all I know is now
Reaffirmation of the difficulty in meeting external expectations.
I am never gonna make you proud
Reiteration of the expectation of not meeting external standards.
Ah, ah, ah
Repetitive vocalizations, possibly indicating emotional intensity or exhaustion.
But I'm
Expressing a determination to find personal pride and satisfaction.
I'm gonna make me proud
Reaffirming the commitment to self-worth and personal achievements.
