Lyrics
I wanna be the Next Rex
I aspire to be the next dominant figure, possibly referencing royalty or leadership.
They say be yourself, but I'll do it again
Despite advice to be authentic, I am willing to repeat my actions.
I want her to love me
Desire for someone's love.
I think that she does, it might be all in my head (Head) (Head)
I believe she loves me, but it might be a product of my imagination.
I'm always the next best
Consistently aiming to be the second-best, always falling short.
Out of two, so I'm coming in last
Being the last choice out of two options.
Third to the party
Arriving third to a social gathering or event.
A wheel alone, and I'm moving too fast (Fast) (Fast)
Feeling isolated and moving too quickly, like a lone wheel.
And I don't know
Uncertainty about identity.
Who I'm supposed to be anymore
Lost and confused about who I should be.
And I don't know
Continued confusion about my purpose.
What I'm meant to do at all (All) (All)
Uncertain about what actions I should take.
Would you like to go on a walk with a lonely fool tonight
Invitation for a walk with a lonely person.
Trip on our words in the sky 'til the sun ceases to light
Imagery of stumbling through conversation until the night ends.
Don't run away, see me again
Plea for the person not to leave and to see each other again.
Please be okay
Request for reassurance that everything will be fine.
Bright pastel shades
Reference to bright and pleasant colors.
Notes will suspend
Musical notes will hang in the air.
I'll see you when the song plays
Promise to meet again when the song is played.
And I don't know
Continued uncertainty about desires and goals.
What I want to do at all
Expressing confusion about personal aspirations.
(I wanna be the Next Rex, it'd be next best to be anyone at all)
Reiteration of the desire to be the Next Rex and a reflection on being anyone at all.
(All)
Repetition for emphasis.
(Ahhhhhhhhhh)
Exclamation expressing emotion or surprise.
Haha, bruh, what
Casual remark, possibly expressing confusion or disbelief.
I wanna be the Next Rex
Reiteration of the desire to be the Next Rex.
Stick around, you'll wanna be my best friend
Encouragement for someone to stay around and become close.
Is lovin' that easy
Questioning the ease of love.
I don't wanna pretend
Expressing a desire for genuine emotions, not pretense.
I don't wanna pretend
Emphasizing the refusal to pretend.
And I don't know
Still unsure about the direction in life.
Where I'm supposed to go, but I'm going
Undecided about where to go but determined to keep moving.
And I just hope that they love me
Hoping for acceptance and love from others.
Pretty soon you'll know me
Anticipation of being known and understood in the near future.
