Lyrics
What gives you the right to put down my scene
Questioning the right of someone to criticize or belittle their artistic community or style.
When you know doing this has always been my dream
Expressing frustration that despite pursuing their dream, others undermine it.
I've finally done something I know I helped with
Proud of contributing to something meaningful but facing criticism for it.
Still you shove my aspirations and call out scene a myth
Encountering discouragement for pursuing aspirations, with the term "scene" possibly symbolizing the music community.
You're the one up front putting us down
Accusing someone of disparaging their artistic community while being a prominent figure in it.
And you wonder why others don't want you around
Pointing out that negative behavior results in exclusion from the community.
Our music's purpose; not for social gain
Asserting that music should be about passion and expression, not solely for popularity.
Five bucks or not I'll always feel the same
Commitment to their passion regardless of financial success, emphasizing genuine love for music.
It takes a long time to climb to the top
Acknowledging the time and effort required to achieve success in the music industry.
Still I'll be here
Commitment to staying in the music scene despite challenges.
But five months after you started playing
Highlighting the contrast between their dedication and someone seeking instant success after a short time.
You want a record deal
Criticizing the desire for a record deal without the necessary dedication and effort.
It takes a lot of motivation and dedication to get what you want
Stressing the importance of motivation and hard work in achieving one's goals.
And sitting around watching others do it for you won't get you a lot
Disapproving of passive participation and expecting others to fulfill one's dreams.
I remember the days going to shows, watching the bands, and wishing I was them
Nostalgia for the past, reminiscing about the excitement of attending shows and aspiring to be like the bands.
And I would go to sleep with a smile on my face dreaming of when I could join them
Expressing the joy of dreaming about joining the music scene while sleeping.
Did you ever have dreams like that or did you expect it all along
Questioning whether others had similar dreams or if success was expected without effort.
Well success never comes to those who don't put their hearts in their songs
Stating that success requires genuine emotional investment in one's craft.
My advice to you: be open-minded towards others
Advising open-mindedness towards others in the artistic community, emphasizing mutual support.
Cause you're not the only one who wants to go farther
Reminding that everyone shares the desire to progress in their artistic journey.
We're all a part of each other's future, we're a part of each other's dream
Highlighting the interconnectedness of individuals in pursuing collective dreams within the music scene.
So no one here thinks they're better than you
Rejecting the notion of superiority, emphasizing equality within the community.
We're a part of each other's scene
Reiterating the collective nature of the artistic community, emphasizing unity in their shared scene.
We're a part of each other's dream
Emphasizing the shared dreams within the community, reinforcing the idea of mutual support.
We're a part of each other's scene
Repeating the theme of collective participation in the music scene.
