Imposter Syndrome
Navigating Adulthood: Embracing the Confusion of Imposter Syndrome
Lyrics
When will it be time for me to feel I'm grown up
Expressing a desire for a sense of maturity and adulthood.
Maybe I'll start saying things I haven't made up
Considering the idea of being more authentic in communication.
Feel like a girl but I'm supposed to be a woman
Feeling conflicted about the expected transition from girlhood to womanhood.
And I don't know when my childhood will be done
Uncertainty about when the speaker will feel like their childhood is over.
Got bills to pay and I'm making my own living
Acknowledging financial responsibilities and self-sufficiency.
Feels like I spend my whole life in the kitchen
Expressing a perception of spending a significant amount of time in domestic chores.
Can't someone tell me that I don't have to worry
Seeking reassurance and relief from worries.
No clothes to fold up and no more phone calls
Desiring a break from mundane tasks like folding clothes and answering phone calls.
25 going on 15
Reflecting on feeling younger than one's age (25 feeling like 15).
What will I be like when I'm 30
Pondering the future and wondering about personal development by age 30.
I don't know but I can tell you
Expressing uncertainty about the future but acknowledging self-awareness.
I've got imposter syndrome
Admitting to experiencing imposter syndrome.
25 and I'm still confused
Feeling lost and unsure despite being 25 years old.
How am I supposed to know what to do
Expressing confusion and a lack of guidance in making life decisions.
I don't know but I can tell you
Reiterating the presence of imposter syndrome.
I've got imposter syndrome
Confirming the ongoing struggle with imposter syndrome.
I've got a mortgage and I don't know how I did it
Having a mortgage and feeling unsure about how it was acquired.
Just know I need to pay the direct debit
Acknowledging the responsibility of paying bills through direct debit.
Don't know how I got to a quarter of a century
Reflecting on reaching a significant age milestone (25 years old).
And don't know how to calculate my tax
Feeling uncertain about financial matters, like calculating taxes.
I'm supposed to decide what I want for dinner
Highlighting the pressure to make decisions, even about dinner.
Go to the gym and have a perfect figure
Expressing societal expectations regarding appearance and fitness.
Can't someone take all the power from me
Desiring to relinquish control and responsibility.
So there's no post to open and no more emails
Wishing for a break from daily tasks like opening mail and checking emails.
25 going on 15
Reiterating the feeling of being 25 but emotionally younger (going on 15).
What will I be like when I'm 30
Speculating about personal growth and identity at age 30.
I don't know but I can tell you
Reiterating uncertainty about the future while acknowledging self-awareness.

Affirming the presence of imposter syndrome.

Confirming the ongoing struggle with imposter syndrome.
I never used to have anxiety

I think that started when I turned eighteen
