Lyrics
Who do you think that you are anyway
Questioning the identity or self-perception of the listener.
Chest puffed out with so much to say
Describing someone who appears confident and vocal.
They're just words
Emphasizing that spoken words lack substance.
Hot air
Comparing words to empty, meaningless expressions.
Second rate
Expressing a feeling of being inferior or less important.
If only the world catered to you
Implies a sense of entitlement or expectation for special treatment.
You might finally find something to do
Suggesting a lack of purpose or direction in life.
Tell me more
Encouraging further explanation or elaboration.
Of how special
Highlighting the belief in one's uniqueness or exceptional qualities.
You are
Asserting self-importance or superiority.
I may not have all these grand ideas
Admitting a lack of ambitious or extraordinary plans.
But at least I can look myself in the mirror
Choosing integrity and self-respect over grand ambitions.
And do
Commitment to personal effort or striving for excellence.
My best
Commitment to doing one's best in given circumstances.
While I'm here
A recognition of the limited time one has in life.
I don't need to be in the one percent
Rejecting the obsession with being extremely wealthy.
To do something more than sit around and vent
Refusing to waste time complaining and opting for action.
I'm not waiting
Refusing to wait for opportunities but advocating taking initiative.
I suggest
Suggesting the same course of action for the listener.
You do the same
Expressing a belief in deserving better treatment.
Maybe I might deserve a little more
Prioritizing actions as a testament to character over empty promises.
But my actions will speak louder than your words
Emphasizing simplicity or lack of pretense.
I'm just plain
Stating plainness without boasting or pretension.
But that doesn't
Denying completion or finality in personal growth or progress.
Mean I'm done
Asserting the continuation of personal development.
I may not have all these grand ideas
Reiterating the absence of extravagant aspirations.
But at least I can look myself in the mirror
Reaffirming integrity and self-respect despite lacking grand ideas.
And do
Commitment to personal effort or striving for excellence.
My best
Commitment to doing one's best in given circumstances.
While I'm here
A recognition of the limited time one has in life.
