Lyrics
Mismatch of what once was ‘in’
Mismatch of what was once considered popular or trendy
Bad batch of the nineties bloom
Negative impact of the cultural trends of the 1990s
Stick around take a good look in
Stay and closely observe any social setting
Any scene you could peg me to?
Can you associate me with any particular social group?
Don't belong with the club going kids
Don't fit in with the trendy youth
Don't belong with the bands in town
Don't fit in with the local music scene
There's no chance I'll identify with the preachy little pricks around
Unable to relate to the self-righteous individuals around
& I'm of that sort where we don't say much & we're fumbling for the next word
Introverted, struggles to express verbally
Had a bad case of social paranoia for as long as I remember
Long-standing fear of social interaction
& I've never felt part of the big bad world, it was daunting from the get go
Never felt a sense of belonging in the intimidating world
& They tell me I should meet your friends of friends of friends
Pressure to socialize with extended networks
When it comes to yours
Difficulty connecting with others' social circles
I'm sorry but I fit right out
I don't fit in with your world
& Yeah I'd love to, but I'm sorry I just fit right out
Unable to participate due to feeling out of place
Maybe took 'Individual' too literally when I was young
Took the concept of individuality too seriously in youth
Love my own space a bit too much
Values personal space greatly
Is it a blessing or a slight curse?
Uncertain if being different is a blessing or a slight curse
But I could never be any different
Unable to change, inherently oneself
It's just me in a nutshell
Summarizes oneself in a straightforward manner
I just seem to forever distance myself from everything
Consistently keeps a distance from everything
& I get impressed with the 'More is less' sort of, minimal, kind of approach
Admires a minimalistic approach, less is more
If there's any big crowds then I just shut down, never see me giving off much
Averse to large crowds, becomes reserved
But the anxious thoughts have become a kind of sport in the sense I've gotta fight ‘em
Anxiety is a constant battle but treated as a challenge
& They tell me I should meet your friends of friends of friends
Pressure to connect with extended networks reiterated
When it comes to yours
Difficulty fitting into others' social circles
I'm sorry but I fit right out
I don't fit in with your world
& Yeah I'd love to, but I'm sorry I just fit right out
Unable to participate due to feeling out of place
Do you enjoy this closed space?
Questioning the enjoyment of confined spaces
I promise I just don't get it
Expresses a lack of understanding and discomfort
Time to get myself away
Deciding to remove oneself from the situation
I'm not gonna grin and bare it
Not willing to endure and pretend
You go with your own mates
Encouraging others to go with their own friends
I'm sorry but I could never be like all them anyway
I can never conform to their ways
It's not in my DNA
Being different is intrinsic and not a choice
When it comes to yours
Difficulty fitting into others' social circles
I'm sorry but I fit right out
I don't fit in with your world
& Yeah I'd love to, but I'm sorry I just fit right out
Unable to participate due to feeling out of place
Do you enjoy this closed space?
Questioning the enjoyment of confined spaces
I promise I just don't get it
Expresses a lack of understanding and discomfort
Time to get myself away
Deciding to remove oneself from the situation
I'm not gonna grin and bare it
Not willing to endure and pretend
You go with your own mates
Encouraging others to go with their own friends
I'm sorry but I could never be like all them anyway
I can never conform to their ways
It's not in my DNA
Being different is intrinsic and not a choice
