The Modern World
Embracing the Modern World's Rebel Spirit
Lyrics
This is the modern world
This is a statement asserting the present existence of the modern world.
This is the modern world
Reiteration of the declaration about the modern world, emphasizing its contemporary nature.
What kind of a fool do you think I am?
A rhetorical question challenging someone's perception of the speaker's intelligence.
You think I know nothing of the modern world
Denial of ignorance, asserting the speaker's knowledge about the modern world.
All my life has been the same
Reflection on a life characterized by consistency or lack of change.
I've learned to live by hate and pain
Recognition of a life shaped by negative emotions like hate and pain.
It's my inspiration drive
Identification of hate and pain as sources of inspiration or motivation.
I've learned more than you'll ever know
Claiming superior knowledge and experience compared to someone else.
Even at school I felt quite sure
Confidence in personal abilities, even from a young age.
That one day I would be on top
Aspiration to achieve a top position in life.
And I'd look down upon the map
Imagining a future where the speaker looks down on those who doubted their success.
The teachers who said I'd be nothing, ey
Recalling teachers who doubted the speaker's potential, suggesting a desire for vindication.
This is the modern world that I've learnt about
Reiteration of the modern world, emphasizing the speaker's understanding of it.
This is the modern world, we don't need no one
Claiming independence, stating no need for external guidance in the modern world.
To tell us what's right or wrong
Rejecting the authority to dictate what is right or wrong in the modern world.
This is the modern world
Reasserting the presence of the modern world.
Say what you like 'cause I don't care
Expressing indifference to others' opinions and asserting self-awareness.
I know where I am and going to
Confidently knowing the speaker's current location and future direction.
It's somewhere I won't preview
Rejecting the idea of previewing or planning the future.
Don't have to explain myself to you
Asserting independence from the need to explain oneself to others.
I don't give two fucks about your review, ey
Expressing complete disregard for others' reviews or opinions.
This is the modern world that I've learnt about
Reiteration of understanding the modern world.
This is the modern world, we don't need no one
Emphasizing independence from external influence in the modern world.
To tell us what's right or wrong
Rejecting external judgments about what is right or wrong.
The modern world this is, this is, this is, this is, this is, this is, this is, hey
Repetition emphasizing the modern world and independence from external influence.
We don't need no one
Asserting self-sufficiency, emphasizing no need for external guidance.
To tell us what's right or wrong
Reiteration of rejecting external definitions of right or wrong.
Ahh
Exclamation, possibly expressing strong emotion or emphasis.
This is the modern world
Reiteration of the modern world's existence.
This is the modern world
Final confirmation of the modern world.
