Black Sheep
Embracing Individuality: The Black Sheep Anthem by Hanging Haman
Lyrics
You can feel it I can see the way your head rocks
The speaker observes the emotional response of the listener.
You could see it if you open up your eyes (Huh?)
Encouragement to be more perceptive and aware of the truth.
You would know me but you never really tried (Huh?)
Despite being recognizable, the listener hasn’t made an effort to understand the speaker.
I would scream it but you never ever woke up
Expressing frustration at the listener's lack of responsiveness.
I know you think you're so right
Belief in the listener's self-righteousness.
Oh no You think I mean it this time
Anticipation of disbelief from the listener.
Let go You won't admit 'cause you're afraid to
Refusal to admit the truth due to fear.
You won't believe me till you hear it on the radio
Doubting that the listener will accept the truth without external validation.
I'ma be the black sheep till the day I die
Commitment to being an outcast despite societal norms.
I've walked away from your perfect lie
Having distanced oneself from the listener's deceitful narrative.
No part of me is hanging on
Complete detachment from the listener's influence.
I'ma be the black sheep
Reiterating the commitment to being an outcast.
You know it's no lie
Acknowledgment that the stated truth is not a falsehood.
Forever known as the bad guy
Acceptance of being labeled negatively by the listener.
Everything we had is gone
Recognition that the past relationship is irretrievable.
Can you hear me
Seeking confirmation of being heard.
I'm a black sheep
Reiteration of the commitment to being an outcast.
Black Sheep
Repeating the self-identification as a societal outcast.
Black Sheep
-Take a deep breath
Encouragement to take a moment to relax and absorb.
Breathe it in
-I didn't write this song so all would know of all that you did
Clarification that the song doesn’t aim to expose everything about the listener.
How many secrets are living within
Wondering about the undisclosed secrets held by the listener.
But I got better things to do than go through all of your sins
Choosing to prioritize other pursuits over delving into the listener's wrongdoings.
I cried alone
Reflecting on moments of personal sorrow experienced alone.
So many nights I couldn't find a reason to live
Struggling to find a reason to live during difficult times.
But now I know
Realization and acceptance of personal strength.
I'm a zealot and you know it
Asserting resilience despite the listener's influence.
You can't break what's within
Belief in internal strength that cannot be destroyed.
I'ma be the black sheep till the day I die
Repetition of the commitment to being an outcast and acknowledging the loss of the past relationship.
I've walked away from your perfect lie
-No part of me is hanging on
-I'ma be the black sheep
-You know it's no lie
-Forever known as the bad guy
-Everything we had is gone
-Can you hear me
-I'm a black sheep
-Black Sheep
-Black Sheep
-You turn a conversation into a fight
-Call all your people and convince them you're right
-Hypnotize them and pull them to your side
-All your numbers won't make me buy your lies
-I'ma be the black sheep till the day I die
-I've walked away from your perfect lie
-No part of me is hanging on
-I'ma be the black sheep
-You know it's no lie
-Forever known as the bad guy
-Everything we had is gone
-Can you hear me
-I'm a black sheep
-Black Sheep
Final reaffirmation of the self-identification as a societal outcast.
Black Sheep
