Embracing Contradictions: Unmasking the Sham Within
Lyrics
I'm a sham
I acknowledge that I am not genuine or authentic.
I'm a big ol' sham
I am a significant and noticeable fake or fraud.
I am I am
I confirm my identity as someone who lacks authenticity.
I'm a sham
Reiteration of being a fake or fraud.
I'm a big ol' sham
Emphasizing the magnitude of being inauthentic.
I am I am
Confirmation of the lack of authenticity.
See?
Asserting the reality of being fake.
Sham I am
Expressing the identity as a sham.
Sham I be
Continuing to acknowledge the fraudulent nature of the self.
I'm a big ol' sham you see
Highlighting the significant nature of being fake.
I'm so nice and mean and cruel and kind
Describing a contradictory personality with both positive and negative traits.
A pushover that crosses lines
Acknowledging the tendency to be easily influenced or manipulated.
I wanna be slim and I wanna have curves
Expressing conflicting desires for physical appearance.
Wanna work a job where I don't gotta work
Desiring a job without the effort associated with it.
I wanna have a pet and eat it too
Expressing a contradictory desire involving a pet.
Front row seat at my funeral
Expressing a desire for attention even at one's funeral.
I wanna be single wanna be married
Conflicting desires regarding relationship status.
Wanna be cute and I wanna be scary
Expressing conflicting desires for appearance.
Wanna be bald and I wanna be hairy
Desiring conflicting physical attributes.
Give me a sign, I can let go
Seeking guidance or clarity in decision-making.
I'm a sham
Reiteration of being fake or fraudulent.
I'm a big ol' sham
Emphasizing the significant nature of inauthenticity.
I am I am
Confirmation of the lack of authenticity.
I'm a sham
Reiteration of being a fake or fraud.
I'm a big ol' sham
Emphasizing the magnitude of being inauthentic.
I am I am
Confirmation of the lack of authenticity.
To be honest
Introducing honesty about the internal struggle of being human.
Being human tortures every part of me
Expressing the torment associated with the human experience.
If I had a clone I'm pretty sure
Contemplating the hypothetical scenario of having a clone with similar laziness.
She'd be just as lazy
Reflecting on the persistence of laziness even in a cloned version.
I'll pray for a chance at dawn
Expressing a desire for a new beginning or opportunity.
The next morning I'll oversleep
Anticipating failure or reluctance to seize a new chance.
I'm a sham
Reiteration of being fake or fraudulent.
I'm a big ol' sham
Emphasizing the significant nature of inauthenticity.
I am I am
Confirmation of the lack of authenticity.
I'm a sham
Reiteration of being a fake or fraud.
I'm a big ol' sham
Emphasizing the magnitude of being inauthentic.
I am I am
Confirmation of the lack of authenticity.
