Hollow Pricks
Embracing DIY Spirit: Defying Conformity with 'Hollow Pricks'
Lyrics
My mind is blank it's hard to think
Feeling mentally blocked, struggling to process thoughts.
I need to set myself into instant sleep
Desire to quickly enter a state of sleep for personal rejuvenation.
To wake up enriched, enriched, enriched
Yearning to awaken enriched or fulfilled.
I need to wake up rich
Expressing the wish to wake up with wealth or abundance.
And say bye, bye, bye, bye
Rejecting or bidding farewell to superficial or insincere individuals (hollow pricks).
You hollow pricks
Asserting independence from those individuals who don’t understand or support the speaker's self-reliance (d.i.y).
Cause I’m d.i.y and I’m not yours to fix
Declaring autonomy and self-sufficiency in making plans and decisions.
I got my own plans, thoughts, ideas on how
Commitment to authenticity and truthfulness in behavior and relationships.
To make us all be real and forever stay true
Desire for genuine authenticity and permanence in personal connections.
To keep on wasting time on what we do
Continuing to spend time on meaningful pursuits despite others' opinions or judgments.
Same dreams, same love as always
Striving for consistency in dreams and love, refusing to change despite external pressure.
We will prove we're not like you
Asserting individuality and distinction from a certain group or type of people.
I don’t give a shit about what’s a fact
Disregard for established truths or conventional wisdom.
And I know I’m way too old to act like that
Acknowledging being older but refusing to conform to societal expectations.
But I still refuse, refuse, refuse, I refuse
Strongly rejecting conformity or compromise on personal principles.
And I won't (try to) pretend
Refusing to fake comfort with others' grievances or criticisms.
To be at ease with your complaints
Reiterating autonomy and independence from external attempts to "fix" or change.
Cause I’m d.i.y and I’m not yours to fix
Reasserting self-reliance and personal control over plans and decisions.
I got my own plans, thoughts, ideas on how
Emphasis on maintaining authenticity and personal truth.
To make us all be real and forever stay true
Continued commitment to spending time on meaningful pursuits.
To keep on wasting time on what we do.
Consistency in holding onto personal dreams and love despite outside influences.
Same dreams, same love as always
Asserting individuality and distinction from a certain group or type of people (repeated).
We will prove we're not like you
Reiteration of the commitment to remain distinct and not conform to others' standards.
