fuck being normal
Embrace the Unconventional: Catchphrase's Anthem Against Conformity
Lyrics
I don't wanna work a job that's nine to five
I reject the idea of working a traditional nine-to-five job.
Cause I'll still feel busy all the time
Even with such a job, I would still feel constantly busy.
I wanna be up on the stage
My desire is to be on stage, surrounded by the excitement of flashing lights.
With the flashing lights
Referencing a desire for a spotlight or a performance-oriented lifestyle.
I'm the guy who's at the party with the karaoke mic
Describing oneself as the person who takes charge of the karaoke mic at parties.
I'm not made for a life in a cubical
I am not suited for a mundane life confined to a cubicle.
And I'm sick of everyone being
Expressing frustration with people in general.
I wish my life was like a moviecynical
Wishing for a life that resembles a movie but acknowledging cynicism.
And never got old
Expressing a desire for a life that never loses its youthful vigor.
Yeah yeah yeah
Repetition for emphasis on the desire for an extraordinary life.
Yeah yeah
Repetition of the desire to break away from normalcy.
Fuck being normal
Explicitly rejecting the idea of being normal.
I've never know what that's been like
Expressing unfamiliarity with the concept of being normal.
You never liked me in high school
Recalling past dislike from high school peers.
But now you say you listen to my songs
People who once disliked now claim to appreciate the singer's songs.
Like all night
Highlighting the irony of newfound admiration after past rejection.
Don't wanna waste my life
Expressing a desire not to waste life with insincere smiles.
With a half fake smile
Refusing to be stuck indoors and wasting time while denying reality.
Stuck inside and wasting time
Acknowledging a fear of becoming a societal loser.
While I'm in denial
Preferably choosing extreme actions like bleaching hair and burning the house down.
That I won't be another loser
Expressing a desire for emotional well-being.
Who stays in town
Expressing a preference for a different, potentially rebellious path.
I'd rather bleach my hair
Using vivid imagery to express a desire for a radical change.
And burn my house down
Emphasizing the drastic measures one is willing to take for change.
I wanna be okay
Expressing a desire for emotional stability and well-being.
Wanna feel alright
Desiring to feel okay and alright within oneself.
Why am I so anxious
Pondering the reasons behind constant anxiety.
All the time
Expressing a struggle with chronic anxiety.
I think I'm late on last months rent cause
Suggesting financial struggles by being late on rent.
I'm not ready to be an adult yet
Expressing a reluctance to embrace adult responsibilities.
Fuck being normal
Reiteration of the rejection of normalcy.
I've never know what that's been like
Re-emphasizing the unfamiliarity with being normal.
You never liked me in high school
Recalling past negative experiences in high school.
But now you say you listen to my songs
People from the past claiming to appreciate the singer's songs now.
Like all night
Highlighting the irony of newfound admiration after past rejection.
Fuck being normal
Final repetition and emphasis on rejecting normalcy.
I've never know what that's been like
Reiteration of unfamiliarity with the concept of being normal.
You never liked me in high school
Recalling past dislike from high school peers.
But now you say you listen to my songs
People from the past claiming to appreciate the singer's songs now.
Like all night
Highlighting the irony of newfound admiration after past rejection.
