Stereotype
Embracing Individuality Amid Societal Pressures
Lyrics
One, two, three, four!
Counting off or starting the song
When I was young thought I wanted to do everything
In youth, had ambitions for various pursuits
Now I've grown up and I don't like anything
As an adult, lacks interest in most things
It seems like everyone around me is unhappy
Perceives widespread unhappiness in others
Oh well, if nothing else then I guess I'm pretty
Feels attractiveness might compensate for lack of direction
I really need this music thing to work out for me
Hopes music career succeeds to avoid typical life
Don't wanna end up like everyone around me
Wants to avoid becoming like dissatisfied peers
I'm sorry, mom and dad, but what's a college degree?
Questions the value of traditional education
A piece of paper saying that I'm smarter than thee
Sees a degree as a mere validation of intelligence
Why is everyone the same?
Perceives a lack of individuality among people
Why is everyone the same?
Reiteration of observation on societal conformity
If I don't make it by the age of 23
Pressure to achieve success by a specific age
I'll be a failure and no one will love me
Fears being unloved and deemed unsuccessful if goals aren't met
I've got no backup plan cause I'd rather die
Rejects fallback plans, prefers risking failure over alternatives
This is the only way I'd tolerate life
Music is the sole acceptable path to endure life
I wanna see the world I'd rather not hide
Desires exploration and refusing to live in hiding
Rot in my basement with a pen and no light
Refuses a mundane existence, choosing creative isolation
The human life expectancy's 85, or something like that
Reflects on average lifespan, highlighting mortality's impact
Oh my god, I'm such a stereotype
Realization of fitting into a societal stereotype
Why is everyone the same?
Reiterates the perceived lack of individuality
Why is everyone the same?
Continued observation on societal homogeneity
Why is everyone the same?
Reiteration of questioning uniformity
If I don't make it by the age of 23
Reinforces the pressure to succeed by a certain age
I'll be a failure and no one will love me
Reiteration of fear of failure and lack of love
I have no backup plan cause I'd rather die
Rejects backup plans, emphasizing a high-risk path
This is the only way I'd tolerate life
Music as the only viable means to endure existence
Why is everyone the same?
Repeated observation on societal conformity
Why is everyone the same?
Reiteration of societal uniformity
Why is everyone the same?
Continued questioning of societal conformity
