Lyrics
It's time to desist from attempts to shake off
Expressing a need to stop trying to escape a feeling of disconnection.
This state of disconnect
Describing the persistent sense of disconnect.
It has always kept me company
Highlighting the companionship found in the state of disconnect.
Since I can't remember when
Reflecting on the long duration of this state in the speaker's life.
Oddly enough I would never say
Contradicting the uniqueness of personal pursuits.
My pursuits are that unique
Acknowledging a sense of uniqueness, making the speaker a maverick.
Yet I've become a maverick
Noting the perception of being a maverick in the eyes of the normal breed.
In the eyes of normal breed
Stating that ignorance is bliss in this context.
Indeed, ignorance is bliss
Emphasizing the blissful nature of ignorance.
I've gotten used to undissembled shrugging
Adapting to receiving open and honest indifference from others.
And the quizzical expression on the face
Describing the puzzled expression when sharing personal experiences.
Of any random soul that I opt to confide in
Referring to the random individuals with whom the speaker chooses to share.
But it will hardly make me change my own ways
Asserting that external reactions won't influence the speaker's behavior.
No no no no
Repetition for emphasis on the refusal to change.
They wouldn't know about my inner conflicts
Highlighting the lack of understanding about the speaker's internal struggles.
And all the sacrifice
Mentioning sacrifices not acknowledged by others.
While I don't get their vanity
Expressing a lack of comprehension regarding the vanity of others.
And inflated sense of pride
Criticizing the inflated sense of pride observed in others.
To them I'm another clueless loser
Perceiving oneself as a clueless loser in the eyes of others.
Unable to compete
Recognizing the perceived inability to compete with others.
To me they are bunch of jumping jacks
Viewing others as mere characters in a simulated environment.
Like some characters in Sims
Comparing others to jumping jacks, possibly indicating their lack of depth.
We are agree to disagree
Agreeing to disagree with others due to differing perspectives.
I've gotten used to undissembled shrugging
Reiteration of getting accustomed to indifferent reactions from others.
And the quizzical expression on the face
Reiterating the puzzled expression when sharing personal experiences.
Of any random soul that I opt to confide in
Repeating the randomness of individuals with whom the speaker shares.
But it will hardly make me change my own ways
Reaffirming that external reactions won't influence the speaker's behavior.
No no no no
Repetition for emphasis on the refusal to change.
How did I end up in this place
Pondering on how the speaker ended up in a hostile and non-diverse environment.
With its hostility to nuance
Criticizing the place for its lack of appreciation for nuance.
And repulsion to diversity?
Expressing a repulsion towards the lack of diversity in the environment.
This is my last remaining life
Emphasizing the importance of the speaker's remaining life and the rejection of a conventional life.
And I won't settle for the rat race
Rejecting participation in a monotonous and competitive lifestyle.
I'll smash this low grim ceiling with my feet
Symbolizing breaking through limitations with determination and rebellion.
I've gotten used to undissembled shrugging
Reiteration of getting accustomed to indifferent reactions from others.
And the quizzical expression on the face
Reiterating the puzzled expression when sharing personal experiences.
Of any random soul that I opt to confide in
Repeating the randomness of individuals with whom the speaker shares.
But it will hardly make me change my own ways
Reaffirming that external reactions won't influence the speaker's behavior.
No no no no
Repetition for emphasis on the refusal to change.
