Competition
Breaking Chains: Embracing Individuality in a World of Comparison
Lyrics
Don't know how to be alone
Expressing discomfort or unfamiliarity with being alone.
Without looking at my dumb phone
Dependence on the phone for company or distraction.
Numb brain, I numb my soul, da da da da
Using distractions like phone to numb emotional pain.
I don't know how to be as happy
Feeling inadequate compared to happy images on the screen.
As the girls I see on my screen
Not measuring up to the perceived happiness of others.
Driving Porches in the Valley
Envy of those living a luxurious life in the Valley.
What about me?
Questioning one's own significance in comparison to others.
Oh, I don't know what I've become
Identity crisis and uncertainty about personal transformation.
Like will I ever be enough?
Struggling with self-worth and the desire to be enough.
Uh-uh, I'm so sick of competition
Expressing frustration with the competitive nature of life.
Uh-uh, trying so damn hard to fit in
Struggling to conform and fit into societal expectations.
And fuck this, I deserve the throne I sit in
Claiming rightful recognition and rejecting societal norms.
And I'm so sick of comparison
Fed up with constantly comparing oneself to others.
And you can't tell me I ain't
Asserting self-confidence and identity.
A bad bitch and don't you forget it
Embracing and owning the label of being a powerful individual.
And I'm still a bad bitch
Reaffirming one's strength and resilience.
How come I forget it?
Forgetting one's own strength and capabilities at times.
Like uh-uh, I'm so sick of competition
Reiterating displeasure with the competitive environment.
But fuck that, maybe I don't wanna fit in
Expressing a desire to break free from societal norms.
Don't know how to be alone
Repetition of feeling uncomfortable with solitude.
Without looking at my dumb phone
Dependence on the phone as a coping mechanism.
Numb brain, I numb my soul, da da da da
Continued use of distractions to numb emotional pain.
And I can't seem to find the meaning
Struggling to find purpose or significance in online interactions.
In the comments and the DMs
Disappointment in the lack of meaning in online comments and DMs.
And I'd like to say I love it
Acknowledging a desire for positive online interactions.
But I've had just enough of it, like
Expressing exhaustion with the negativity online.
Oh, I don't know what I've become
Reiteration of identity crisis and uncertainty about personal growth.
Like will I ever be enough?
Continued struggle with self-worth and the desire to be enough.
Uh-uh, I'm so sick of competition
Reiterating frustration with the competitive nature of life.
Uh-uh, trying so damn hard to fit in
Continued struggle to conform and fit into societal expectations.
And fuck this, I deserve the throne I sit in
Reasserting rightful recognition and rejection of societal norms.
And I'm so sick of comparison
Repetition of being fed up with constant comparison.
And you can't tell me I ain't
Asserting self-confidence and identity.
A bad bitch and don't you forget it
Reaffirming being a powerful individual and rejecting doubt.
And I'm still a bad bitch
Reiterating strength and resilience despite occasional forgetfulness.
How come I forget it?
Reflecting on moments of self-doubt and forgetting personal strength.
Like uh-uh, I'm so sick of competition
Reiterating displeasure with the competitive environment.
But fuck that, maybe I don't wanna fit in
Expressing a strong desire to break free from societal norms.
Ooh ooh oh oh oh
Repetition of frustration with competition and rejection of conformity.
Ooh ooh oh oh oh
-Uh-uh, I'm so sick of competition
-Uh-uh, trying so damn hard to fit in
-And fuck this, I deserve the throne I sit in
-And I'm so sick of comparison
-And you can't tell me I ain't
-A bad bitch and don't you forget it
-And I'm still a bad bitch
-How come I forget it?
-Uh-uh, I'm so sick of competition
-Fuck that, maybe I don't wanna fit in
Defiant rejection of the desire to conform.
