Lyrics
Everyone projecting all their dreams on me
People projecting their aspirations onto the speaker
A million life plans of what they want me to be
Numerous expectations of what others want the speaker to become
Saying, "Give a little, give a little, give a little, give a little"
Repetition urging to "Give a little" as a request for compromise
Piece by piece, I'm slipping away
The speaker feels like they are gradually losing parts of themselves
Hey, be kind, be patient
Encouragement to show kindness
Be hard to please
Advice to be hard to please, despite seeming contradictory
It seems contradicting, but do it honestly
Striving for honesty in actions even if it appears contradictory
Just give a little, give a little
Reiterating the call to "Give a little"
Give a little, give a little
Continuation of the request for compromise
Until you disintegrate
Until one breaks down or falls apart
Put your hands up if you've lied awake at 3 A.M
Acknowledging sleepless nights and self-promises at 3 A.M.
Promising yourself all the things
Making commitments to oneself about avoiding certain actions
That you think, that you'll never do again
Actions that the speaker thought they would never repeat
Put your hands up if you ever dream of running away
Expressing a desire to escape and be carefree for a night
Somewhere you can get a little wild for a night
Yearning for a moment of wild freedom
And the next day, no one remembers your name
Anticipating being forgotten the next day
Everyone projecting all their dreams on me
Repeated theme of others imposing dreams on the speaker
A million life plans of what they want me to be
Endless expectations of what others want the speaker to achieve
Saying, "Give a little, give a little, give a little, give a little"
Repetition of the plea to "Give a little"
Piece by piece, I'm slipping away
Continued feeling of losing oneself gradually
Hey, be kind, be patient
Call for kindness and patience
Be hard to please
Advice to be challenging to please honestly
It seems contradicting, but do it honestly
Emphasizing the importance of honesty despite contradictions
Just give a little, give a little
Reiterating the request to "Give a little"
Give a little, give a little
Continuing the plea for compromise
Until you disintegrate
Until one falls apart or disintegrates
Of all the hypocrites with slivers in their eyes
Highlighting hypocrisy in others with issues of their own
I'll scream that I'm sick of it, I can't see the beams in mine
Expressing frustration with hypocrites while acknowledging personal flaws
Obscene expectations is the most toxic form of pride
Describing excessive expectations as a toxic form of pride
So why should I deserve to do more with my life?
Questioning why the speaker should be burdened with more expectations
Everyone projecting all their dreams on me
Reiteration of others imposing their dreams on the speaker
A million life plans of what they want me to be
Repeating the cycle of others dictating the speaker's life plans
Saying, "Give a little, give a little, give a little, give a little"
Repetition of the plea to "Give a little"
Piece by piece, I'm slipping away
Feeling like losing parts of oneself incrementally
Hey, be kind, be patient
Encouragement for kindness and patience
Be hard to please
Advice to be difficult to please honestly
It seems contradicting, but do it honestly
Emphasizing the importance of honesty despite contradictions
Just give a little, give a little
Reiterating the request to "Give a little"
Give a little, give a little
Continuing the plea for compromise
Until you disintegrate
Until one falls apart or disintegrates
