Lyrics

I'm the imposter, the fake, the phony, jk

I feel like an imposter, a fake, and a phony, but it's just a joke (jk).

Living in a world of deceit, pretend and lies, I'll say

I exist in a world filled with deceit, pretense, and lies, and I acknowledge this.

These implications I might be someone I'm not

There are suggestions or accusations that I may be pretending to be someone I'm not.

I'm a fraud, a fake, a phony, all tied up in knots

I am overwhelmed by feelings of being a fraud, fake, and phony, causing internal turmoil.

Picture perfect playing a plastic game

Engaging in a picture-perfect life that feels artificial, like playing a plastic game.

In a broken world for plastic fame

In a world that is broken and seeking fame through superficial, plastic means.


Ugly people saying ugly things

Encountering unattractive people expressing negative things.

To pretty people doing the same thing

Attractive individuals also engaging in the same negative behaviors.

It's pretty easy to go insane

It's relatively simple to lose one's sanity in a world where ugliness is pervasive.

When you see ugly in everything

Observing ugliness in everything can lead to mental distress.


I signed up, I subscribed, I voted

I committed to various societal expectations, only to be disappointed and demoted.

I stood in line just to be demoted I

Standing in line and adhering to norms resulted in being downgraded or reduced in status.

I paid the tax, and I waved the flag

I fulfilled civic duties, paid taxes, and displayed patriotism, but now I feel discarded like trash.

Now I'm just trash in body bags

My efforts have led to a degraded state, symbolized by being in body bags.

In a broken world for plastic fame

Reiterating the pursuit of fame through artificial means in a broken world.
