Lyrics

I wanna be the minority

I aspire to be part of the minority group.

I don't need your authority

I reject the need for your permission or control.

Down with the moral majority

Against the values and beliefs of the majority.

'Cause I wanna be the minority

Reiteration of the desire to be in the minority.


I pledge allegiance to the underworld

Expressing allegiance to unconventional or rebellious ideas.

One nation under dog

Describing a nation that feels marginalized or oppressed.

There of which, I stand alone

Standing alone, distinct from the crowd.

A face in the crowd

Being a face in the crowd but remaining unsung and unique.

Unsung, against the mold

Going against societal expectations and norms.

Without a doubt

Confidently without any uncertainty.

Singled out

Being singled out or distinct, possibly in a defiant manner.

The only way I know

Embracing a non-conformist way of life.


'Cause I wanna be the minority

Reiteration of the desire to be in the minority.

I don't need your authority

Rejecting the need for authority or control from others.

Down with the moral majority

Against the moral values upheld by the majority.

'Cause I wanna be the minority

Reiteration of the desire to be in the minority.


Stepped out of the line

Stepping out of the established line or norms.

Like a sheep runs from the herd

Choosing independence over blindly following the herd.

Marching out of time

Marching to a different rhythm or pace.

To my own beat now

Embracing one's own unique way of doing things.

The only way I know

Reiteration of the only way the singer knows, emphasizing individualism.


One light, one mind

Unity in individuality, a shared mindset in the darkness.

Flashing in the dark

Symbolizing unity through a single light and mind.

Blinded by the silence of a thousand broken hearts

Blinded by the pain and suffering of many.

"For crying out loud," she screamed unto me

Quoting a plea for attention or expression of frustration.

A free for all

Advocating for a free and uncontrolled existence.

Fuck 'em all

A rebellious declaration against societal norms.

You are your own sight

Emphasizing self-reliance and individual perspective.


'Cause I wanna be the minority

Reiteration of the desire to be in the minority.

I don't need your authority

Rejecting external authority and control.

Down with the moral majority

Against the moral values upheld by the majority.

'Cause I wanna be the minority

Reiteration of the desire to be in the minority.


One light, one mind

Repetition of the unity in individuality theme.

Flashing in the dark

Symbolizing unity through a single light and mind in the darkness.

Blinded by the silence of a thousand broken hearts

Repetition of the idea of collective suffering.

"For crying out loud," she screamed unto me

Quoting a plea for attention or expression of frustration.

A free for all

Advocating for a free and uncontrolled existence.

Fuck 'em all

A rebellious declaration against societal norms.

You are your own sight

Emphasizing self-reliance and individual perspective.


'Cause I wanna be the minority

Reiteration of the desire to be in the minority.

I don't need your authority

Rejecting external authority and control.

Down with the moral majority

Against the moral values upheld by the majority.

'Cause I wanna be the minority

Reiteration of the desire to be in the minority.

I wanna be the minority

Expressing the persistent desire to be part of the minority group.

I wanna be the minority

Repetition for emphasis on the desire to be in the minority.

Continued emphasis on the desire to be in the minority.

I wanna be the minority

Final repetition, solidifying the singer
