Superficial
Breaking the Shallow Mold: Boiler Room's Message on Superficiality
Lyrics
I've been shown all good things in life
I have experienced all the positive aspects of life.
Not all that have a reach in sight
Not everything within reach is worthwhile or valuable.
Really is distorted, ambition can be aborted
Ambitions can be distorted, leading to a skewed perspective.
Expectation false and contorted
False and twisted expectations can arise.
Superficial, I don't wanna be
Expressing a desire to avoid being superficial.
Just like you, a shallow fool
Rejecting the idea of resembling a shallow fool.
Superficial, I can't stand to be
Expressing discomfort with superficiality.
Just like you, a shallow fool
Rejecting the notion of being a shallow fool.
I've been one self-influenced mind
Having a self-influenced mindset.
All these things they don't realize
Others may not understand the speaker's perspective.
Reality is distorted, ambitions can be aborted
Highlighting the distorted nature of reality.
Expectation false and contorted
False and twisted expectations can lead to disappointment.
Superficial, I don't wanna be
Reiterating the desire to avoid superficiality.
Just like you, a shallow fool
Rejecting the idea of being a shallow fool like others.
Superficial, I can't stand to be
Expressing an aversion to superficiality.
Just like you, a shallow fool
Rejecting the idea of resembling a shallow fool.
And I can't stand all that you represent
Expressing disdain for what someone represents.
Material things have definitely got you bent
Materialistic values have negatively influenced the person.
And I can't take no more, now I see your flaws
Reaching a breaking point, acknowledging flaws in the person.
I can't escape it, take me away
Feeling trapped and seeking an escape from the situation.
Take, take, take, take me away now
Emphasizing the urgency to be taken away from the situation.
I don't wanna play no superficial games
Rejecting the idea of engaging in superficial games.
Superficial, I don't wanna be
Reiterating the desire to avoid superficiality.
Just like you, a shallow fool
Rejecting the idea of resembling a shallow fool.
Superficial, I can't stand to be
Expressing discomfort with superficiality.
Just like you, a shallow fool
Rejecting the notion of being a shallow fool.
I can't stand to be like
Expressing an inability to tolerate being like someone superficial.
I can't stand to be like
Reiterating the inability to tolerate superficiality.
I can't stand to be like
Continuing to express an aversion to superficiality.
Just like you
Rejecting the idea of resembling a shallow fool.
