Normal
Embrace the Unconventional: Defying Normalcy with Deadstar Assembly
Lyrics
Everyday I play the game
Everyday I engage in life's challenges and experiences.
It keeps me somewhat sane
These challenges help me maintain a semblance of sanity.
An attitude adjustment
I use this as a way to adjust my attitude.
A fliter for my fucking brain
It serves as a filter for the thoughts in my mind.
I try my best to stay that way
I make an effort to remain in this state.
But it's hard for long
However, maintaining it for a prolonged period is challenging.
Why must I comply
Questioning the necessity to conform.
And change my life
Why should I change my life?
To be so called right
Conforming to society's definition of 'right.'
What makes your way right
Challenging the notion of what is considered right.
Normal people don't act that way
Normal behavior is not the way I act.
Who wants to be normal anyway?
Questioning the desirability of being normal.
Normal people don't act that way
Reiterating that normal behavior is not appealing.
Who wants to be normal anyway?
Reiterating the rejection of normalcy.
Everyday it's all the same
Everyday experiences feel repetitive and mundane.
We buy and sell the pain
Society is involved in a cycle of causing and enduring pain.
Societies addictions
Addictions prevalent in society are widespread.
Injected into every vein
These addictions are pervasive, affecting everyone.
I try my best to stay away
Struggling to avoid these negative influences.
But it's hard for long
But maintaining distance is challenging.
Why must I comply
Questioning the need to conform to societal norms.
And change my life
Asking why personal change is required.
To be so called right
Conforming to an externally imposed notion of right.
What makes your way right
Challenging the legitimacy of the established norm.
Who wants to be normal anyway?
Rhetorical question about the appeal of normalcy.
Who wants to be normal anyway?
Repeating the rejection of the desire to be normal.
We're all on display
Highlighting that everyone is under scrutiny.
Animals in a cage
Metaphorically comparing people to caged animals.
We're all on display
Emphasizing the intense emotions on display.
Animals in a rage
Describing the heightened emotional state.
We're all on display
Reiteration of the theme of constant observation.
Animals in a cage
Continuing the metaphor of people as caged animals.
We're all on display
Emphasizing the persistent scrutiny everyone faces.
Animals in a rage
Repeating the idea of heightened emotional states.
Normal people don't act that way
Restating that normal behavior is not embraced.
Who wants to be normal anyway?
Questioning the desirability of normality once again.
Normal people don't act that way
Reiterating that normal actions are not attractive.
Who wants to be normal anyway?
Re-emphasizing the rejection of normalcy.
Normal people don't act that way
Once again, stating that normal behavior is unappealing.
Who wants to be normal anyway?
Continuing the rejection of societal norms.
Normal people don't act that way
Reiterating the idea that normal actions are undesirable.
Who wants to be normal anyway?
Final repetition of the rejection of normalcy.
