Everyone Looks Good in Polaroids
Embrace Individuality: Breaking Societal Norms in Polaroids
Lyrics
Everyone looks good in polaroids
Expressing that people appear attractive in Polaroid photos.
Maybe that's why I'm fucking paranoid
Suggesting personal anxiety or fear, possibly related to societal standards.
I just wanna see your face
Desire to see someone's actual face rather than a photograph.
And feel your down to earth embrace
Yearning for a genuine and grounded embrace.
It all must be perfect these days
Commenting on societal expectations for perfection in modern times.
It's as if I left and took some time away
Feeling like a return from a break exposes changes in society.
And came back to a
Transition to a post-apocalyptic scenario, metaphorically describing current challenges.
Post-apocalyptic society
Elaborating on the challenging state of society.
That breeds frustration and anxiety baby
Linking societal conditions to the creation of frustration and anxiety.
You don't have to be
Encouraging individuality despite societal expectations.
What they say you have to be
Rejecting conformity and societal pressures.
Just be you
Emphasizing the importance of being true to oneself.
And that will always be enough for me
Expressing contentment with the authentic self.
Everyone looks good in polaroids
Reiteration of the idea that everyone appears good in Polaroids.
I'm always feeling fucking paranoid
Reiterating personal feelings of paranoia.
I tend to try and show my face
Attempting to be present but facing challenges in timing and context.
At the wrong time and place
Struggling with showing oneself in inappropriate situations.
It's hard to turn and ignore them all
Finding it difficult to ignore judgment from others.
And be the one who puts up that wall
Being the one to establish boundaries against negativity.
To try and shut out
Introducing the concept of building a defensive barrier.
All the hateful speech and entitlement
Commenting on prevalent negative speech and entitlement in society.
We all just seem to think that it's fine I guess maybe
Suggesting acceptance or resignation regarding societal issues.
We just have to see
Emphasizing the importance of perceiving beyond surface appearances.
Through what they want us to see
Encouraging critical thinking and independent judgment.
Think for yourself
Advocating for individual thought rather than blind agreement.
And don't just agree
Final reinforcement of the importance of independent thinking.
