Complicated Me
Embracing Complexity: A Search for Recognition
Lyrics
Out in the deep end
Feeling overwhelmed or in a challenging situation.
I'm alive, not that you would know
Despite being alive, my existence may not be noticeable to others.
Wasted the week-end
Time wasted on unproductive activities during the weekend.
Drivin' by places where you go
Driving past places associated with you.
I know that you like 'em dangerous
Aware that you are attracted to risky or adventurous individuals.
And I ain't dangerous enough
I am not perceived as dangerous or exciting enough.
I want to be complicated, celebrated
Desire to be intricate, acknowledged, and stand out.
Mysterious, yeah loved and hated
Yearning for a mix of admiration and criticism.
All my life I waited for someone to notice me
A lifetime of anticipation for someone to take notice.
Hello world, it's complicated me
Greeting the world with the complexity of one's identity.
Every diamond
Comparing personal growth to the transformation of a diamond.
Starts its life as a piece of coal
Recognizing that valuable things start from humble beginnings.
I ain't a diamond
Not considering oneself as valuable as a diamond.
Just some guy standing in the cold
Presenting oneself as an ordinary person in a difficult situation.
I'm an obvious victim of circumstance
Acknowledging being a victim of circumstances.
And I know I ain't got a chance
Understanding the slim likelihood of success.
I want to be complicated...
Reiteration of the desire to be complex and noticed.
I know I could walk right up to you
Acknowledging the potential to approach someone.
But I'm afraid you'd see right through
Fear of being transparent or easily understood.
You'd see right through
Recognizing the futility of the effort.
What's the use?
Questioning the purpose or benefit of the action.
I want to be complicated...
Reiteration of the desire for complexity and recognition.
I want to be complicated, emulated
Expressing the wish to be imitated, adding to the complexity.
Mysterious, loved and hated
Desire for a mix of love and hate from others.
All my life I waited to be taken seriously
A lifetime of waiting to be taken seriously by others.
Hello world, it's complicated me
Greeting the world again, emphasizing the complexity of the self.
