Lyrics
That's not the real me
Expressing a discrepancy between how others perceive the speaker and their true self
I hear what they say
Acknowledging awareness of external opinions or judgments
They say I'm being strange
Others consider the speaker's behavior as unusual or unfamiliar
But I don't know any other way
Uncertain about conforming to societal expectations as there's no alternative known
This is me
Reaffirming the authenticity of the speaker's identity
They say I'm being strange
Reiteration of others' perception of the speaker's behavior as odd
I don't know any other way
Still uncertain about conforming to societal norms due to lack of alternatives
I don't know what they mean
Perplexed about the intended meaning behind others' opinions
This is me
Emphasizing self-acceptance despite external criticism
They say I'm being strange
Continued repetition of the perception of the speaker as peculiar by others
I don't know any other way
Still unsure about conforming to societal expectations without an alternative known
I don't know what they mean
Confusion about the interpretation of others' opinions
That's not the real me
Reiterating the disconnect between perceived and true self
I hear what they say
Acknowledging awareness of external judgments once again
They say I'm being strange
Restating others' view of the speaker's behavior as peculiar
But I don't know any other way
Uncertainty about conforming to societal norms without alternatives known
This is me
Asserting the speaker's identity as genuine and unaltered
They say I'm being strange
Reiteration of others' perception of the speaker's behavior as unconventional
I don't know any other way
Still unsure about conforming to societal norms due to lack of alternatives
I don't know what they mean
Perplexity regarding the intended meaning behind others' opinions persists
This is me
Emphasizing the authenticity and self-acceptance of the speaker
