Lyrics
Do my thing in the night time
Expressing individuality and confidence in one's actions during the night.
I'm having dream in the daylight
Having aspirations or fantasies during the daytime.
Don't give a damn if it's not right to the minds that can't see
Not concerned with conforming to societal norms, especially for those who lack understanding.
That I'm not defined by
Rejecting being defined by material wealth.
The cash in my billfold
Emphasizing that personal value is not determined by money.
Or my songs on the billboard
Indicating that success on the billboard charts doesn't define self-worth.
I'm defined by the action I take
Defining oneself through actions and the impact on others.
For the difference I make, the kids aren't alright
Concern for the well-being of the younger generation.
I know I'm negative but you wouldn't believe what you'd see when you develop it
Acknowledging negativity, possibly from developing film (metaphorically), revealing hidden aspects.
Oh I want to be a pulitzer prize winning piece
Desiring recognition and success, specifically a Pulitzer Prize for excellence.
But I'm all out of focus and my edges are creased oh no
Facing challenges and imperfections that hinder achieving desired goals.
Cause I can't be you lifeline
Rejecting the role of being someone's savior or constant support.
I hope that you know that I tried so
Acknowledging efforts made despite negativity.
Very hard before I went and fucked it up I always do
Admitting to past mistakes and a pattern of self-sabotage.
If I could be what you need I guess this might be different
Expressing a willingness to change for someone special.
But As It Stands I need to leave to keep my wits about me
Deciding to leave the current situation for self-preservation.
Cause nothing's the same, I don't think this will grow
Recognizing that things won't stay the same and may not improve.
Cause you think I'm a pain, and I think that it shows
Acknowledging perceived difficulties in the relationship.
And I think I should stay, but you want me to go
Feeling conflicted about staying or leaving.
I think I love you but I don't want you to know, no no
Conflicted feelings of love but not wanting to reveal them.
I think I lost myself but It's all the same
Feeling lost or disconnected from oneself.
And you can keep your dirt or throw it on my name
Indifference towards others' judgments or criticisms.
Yeah I know it hurts life is full of pain
Acknowledging the inevitable pain in life.
But it still goes on isn't that a shame
Reflecting on the ongoing nature of life despite challenges.
Cause I can't be you lifeline
Reiteration of not being someone's constant support.
I hope that you know that I tried so
Acknowledging effort despite negative outcomes.
Very hard before I went and fucked it up I always do
Admitting to a history of making mistakes.
If I could be what you need I guess this might be different
Expressing a willingness to change for the right person.
But As It Stands I need to leave to keep my wits about me
Deciding to leave for self-preservation despite potential changes.
Keep my wits about me
Stating the need to maintain mental clarity and composure.
