Lyrics

Looking back at all the things you said to me

Reflecting on past conversations with you

Makes no no sense

Those conversations lack logical coherence

What is this the dream that you're selling me

Questioning if the dreams presented are genuine or manipulative

It is yours not mine

Emphasizing ownership and individuality

What're you telling me about the cool kids

Asking about the information on popular trends

I'm on the side with the non-conformists

Aligning with non-conformists against mainstream ideals

Never chase your temporary highs

Advising against pursuing fleeting pleasures

Cause I value my time

Valuing personal time

So shame on you

Expressing disapproval or disappointment

Cause you're picking out my roots

Criticizing interference with personal roots

And you try to change me too

Resisting attempts to change identity

Please keep your eyes on your own food

Encouraging focus on one's own matters

And these curves these wounds

Acknowledging personal flaws and experiences

I've learnt to love them too

Learning to accept and appreciate personal imperfections

With no help from you

Independently overcoming challenges without external assistance

Please keep your eyes on your own food

Reiterating the importance of self-focus

Now it's all said and done

Reflecting on completed experiences

I'm tied to no mindless rules

Rejecting arbitrary rules and restrictions

Don't you dare try to dim my light

Warning against attempts to diminish one's positivity and mood

And disrupt my mood

Resisting external influences on emotional state

Now it's just getting really rude man

Expressing frustration with rude behavior

Tell me where, where your manners gone at

Questioning someone's manners or politeness

You start to act, acting like a madman but I'm not surprised

Observing erratic behavior without surprise

So shame on you

Reiterating disapproval or disappointment

Cause you're picking out my roots

Criticizing interference with personal roots (repeated)

And you try to change me too

Resisting attempts to change identity (repeated)

Please keep your eyes on your own food

Encouraging focus on one's own matters (repeated)

And these curves these wounds

Acknowledging personal flaws and experiences (repeated)

I've learnt to love them too

Learning to accept and appreciate personal imperfections (repeated)

With no help from you

Independently overcoming challenges without external assistance (repeated)

Please keep your eyes on your own food

Reiterating the importance of self-focus (repeated)

You fear me cause really you just need me

Highlighting the fear others may have and their reliance on the speaker

So why are you trying to keep me

Questioning attempts to keep the speaker in obscurity

Keep me in the shadow

Asserting that attempts to hide the speaker won't succeed

That won't really last long

Anticipating a short duration for attempts to keep the speaker hidden

So shame on you

Reiterating disapproval or disappointment (repeated)

Cause you're picking out my roots

Criticizing interference with personal roots (repeated)

And you try to change me too

Resisting attempts to change identity (repeated)

Please keep your eyes on your own food

Encouraging focus on one's own matters (repeated)

And these curves these wounds

Acknowledging personal flaws and experiences (repeated)

I've learnt to love them too

Learning to accept and appreciate personal imperfections (repeated)

With no help from you

Independently overcoming challenges without external assistance (repeated)

Please keep your eyes on your own food

Reiterating the importance of self-focus (repeated)
