Lyrics
Step to the left, step to the right
Encouraging movement away from conformity, suggesting a change in direction.
You've been marching to their beat
Following the established norms and expectations set by others.
Your whole life well it's time for you
Implying a need for personal change or deviation from the expected path.
To step on out of line
Encouragement to break away from conformity.
Pushing the grain, drowning in grain
Struggling within the societal expectations, feeling overwhelmed or suffocated.
You weren't set apart to be the same
Feeling different from others, not meant to conform or be identical.
You're not the same no, no
Emphasizing uniqueness, not being identical or alike.
Why you blending in so well?
Questioning why someone is blending in so seamlessly despite being unique.
Act like your dead, oh act like your dead
Suggesting conformity by behaving as though one doesn't have individuality.
You'll all fit in if you act like your dead
Implying that conformity leads to fitting in, even if it means suppressing individuality.
The only problem is you're not dead your alive
Highlighting the issue of not conforming to societal norms despite being alive and different.
Oh I don't want to be a culture kid, I just want to be an alien
Expressing a desire to avoid conformity and instead embrace uniqueness, feeling like an outsider.
Sleep with us, drink with us
Inviting to engage in typical social activities with others.
The whole world is yours in a blanket of lust
Describing a world consumed by desires and pleasure.
Well it's time for you, to burn the blanket
Encouraging rebellion against the temptation of conformity.
Burn the trust
Encouraging the breaking of established trust and norms.
Dress like us, obsess like us
Encouraging imitation of a specific way of dressing or behaving.
Come on everybody's so obsessed with us but your not
Noticing an outsider's lack of obsession or interest in conforming.
Why don't you fit inside our molds?
Questioning why someone doesn't fit into the societal molds.
We only mean well, we only mean well
Expressing good intentions behind societal norms and expectations.
The whole bloody world only means well
Suggesting that the world operates with positive intentions.
Well you can't well mean yourself to heaven
Implying that trying to conform excessively won't lead to salvation or a positive outcome.
But you can well mean yourself to hell
Suggesting that conforming too much may lead to negative consequences.
Oh I don't want to be a culture kid, I just want to be an alien
Reiterating the desire to avoid becoming a product of culture and instead embrace uniqueness.
Step to the left, step to the right

You've been marching to their beat
