Lyrics
Down upon me
Feeling overwhelmed or burdened
With such an arrogant gaze
Receiving a disdainful or scornful look
A broken sense of belief
Having a shattered belief system
Can't you give me a break
Pleading for a respite or mercy
I know I'm not the strongest
Acknowledging personal limitations
Every single word of advice becomes another reason
Receiving advice as a source of criticism
For why you're better than me
Perceiving superiority in every advice given
You wouldn't know it but in my head I'm screaming
Internally distressed despite a composed exterior
Oh if you give me a chance to show you I work just as hard as everyone else
Desiring an opportunity to showcase equal effort
You're so damn condescending
Expressing frustration at condescension
In a world that's so conflicted
Commenting on the conflicting nature of the world
Do you really have to be the one to spite me
Questioning the need for personal animosity
Even if it takes a million verses, I will persevere until the day you accept me
Determined to persist until acceptance is achieved
Maybe I'm just overthinking again
Suspecting excessive self-analysis
But you're impossible to read behind that devilish grin
Finding it challenging to understand motives behind a grin
I feel like I need to prove myself
Feeling compelled to validate one's worth
All these social intermissions put me through hell and I've
Social interactions causing significant distress
Been thinking all too clearly
Experiencing clear and rational thinking
Why do I rank you above me
Questioning the basis of ranking others above oneself
Don't care much for the fame or wealth
Emphasizing a lack of interest in fame or wealth
Just want some time to prove myself
Desiring time to prove personal capabilities
I know I'm not the strongest
Reiterating personal limitations
Every single word of advice becomes another reason
Advice seen as continuous justification for inferiority
For why you're better than me
Perceiving superiority in every advice given (repeated)
You wouldn't know it but in my head I'm screaming
Internal distress despite a composed exterior (repeated)
Oh if you give me a chance to show you I work just as hard as everyone else
Desiring an opportunity to showcase equal effort (repeated)
You're so damn condescending
Expressing frustration at condescension (repeated)
In a world that's so conflicted
Commenting on the conflicting nature of the world (repeated)
Do you really have to be the one to spite me
Questioning the need for personal animosity (repeated)
Even if it takes a million verses, I will persevere until the day you accept me
Determined to persist until acceptance is achieved (repeated)
