Mad at the world
Rebellion in a Teen's Symphony: Carmen Olivia's 'Mad at the World'
Lyrics
Can't do anything till I'm 18
Expressing a limitation until reaching the age of 18.
Till then I'm just a figurine
Feeling like an inanimate object or powerless until adulthood.
Who's living off no sleep and caffeine
Depicting a lifestyle fueled by lack of sleep and caffeine.
Each day feels more like a fever dream
Every day seems like a surreal and unsettling experience.
My minds looking like a murder scene
Mental state is chaotic, resembling a crime scene.
From constantly staring at a screen
Struggling with the consequences of excessive screen time.
Tryna seem perfect and pristine
Attempting to appear flawless and perfect.
That shit makes me really wanna scream
Expressing frustration and a desire to release emotions.
Hard to say no one understands it
Feeling misunderstood, making it hard to explain.
But life feels like a crime that I'm not trying to commit
Life feels burdensome, but there's no intent to harm.
Mad at the world cause sometimes it sucks
Expressing anger and discontent with the world.
So sick of acting like I give a fuck
Tired of pretending to care about things.
Running in circles and I feel like I'm just stuck (I'm stuck)
Feeling stuck and going in circles with no progress.
Yeah I'm mad at the world I could never win
Expressing frustration with the world's challenges.
Thinking bout when life will really begin
Anticipating when life will truly start.
Cause I hate the person that I've always been (Always been)
Disliking one's own character and past actions.
Not really feeling like a person
Struggling to feel fully human.
Hoping these feelings can't worsen
Hoping emotions won't worsen.
So sick of never being certain
Frustrated by the lack of certainty in life.
If I'll always have to carry this burden
Expressing the weight of an ongoing burden.
I'm trapped behind this curtain
Feeling confined or restricted.
Can't get out but I'm determined
Determined to break free from limitations.
To cut these strings of coercion
Expressing a desire to free oneself from external control.
And make my life my own version
Aspiring to live life on one's own terms.
Hard to say no one understands it
Feeling misunderstood, making it hard to explain.
But life feels like a crime that I'm not trying to commit
Life feels burdensome, but there's no intent to harm.
Mad at the world cause sometimes it sucks
Expressing anger and discontent with the world.
So sick of acting like I give a fuck
Tired of pretending to care about things.
Running in circles and I feel like I'm just stuck (I'm stuck)
Feeling stuck and going in circles with no progress.
Yeah I'm mad at the world I could never win
Expressing frustration with the world's challenges.
Thinking bout when life will really begin
Anticipating when life will truly start.
Cause I hate the person that I've always been (Always been)
Disliking one's own character and past actions.
Tired of people assuming I'm okay
Tired of others assuming well-being.
Can't wait until I can finally press play
Looking forward to a future without current struggles.
And stop living this way
Desire to break free from the current way of living.
Mad at the world cause sometimes it sucks
Expressing anger and discontent with the world.
So sick of acting like I give a fuck
Tired of pretending to care about things.
Running in circles and I feel like I'm just stuck (I'm stuck)
Feeling stuck and going in circles with no progress.
Yeah I'm mad at the world I could never win
Expressing frustration with the world's challenges.
Thinking bout when life will really begin
Anticipating when life will truly start.
Cause I hate the person that I've always been (Always been)
Disliking one's own character and past actions.
