Lyrics
I'm a sneaky creature of habit
I am a secretive creature with established routines.
Wishful truth seeker
I seek the truth with hopeful expectations.
With reckless abandon
I pursue truth with a lack of concern for consequences.
Wouldn't know my youth
I would not recognize my youth even if it had a significant impact on me.
If it cracked my spine
Lost and entangled in deceptive falsehoods.
Lost & spinning down these loose end lies
Lost and spiraling amidst unresolved issues.
Watch over me
A plea for someone to watch over the speaker.
Another child of rage
Describing oneself as a person born out of anger.
Wishful thinking it was only a phase
Hopeful belief that troubling behavior was just a temporary phase.
I don't need no validation to sleep
Expressing independence from needing approval to sleep.
But somehow it's the only thing
A paradoxical situation where seeking validation is the only thing keeping the speaker awake.
That keeps me awake
Validation becomes a source of insomnia.
Dead Eyes on me
Reference to judgmental or critical eyes observing the speaker.
I'm out of fashion baby
Feeling outdated or not in vogue.
As if it mattered to me
Indifference to societal opinions about being out of fashion.
Dead Eyes on me
Reiteration of critical eyes focusing on the speaker.
I'm out of fashion baby
Reaffirmation of being out of fashion, with a disregard for societal judgments.
As if it mattered to me
Reiterating that societal opinions about fashion are irrelevant.
Dying here in my comfort zone
Expressing a sense of stagnation and dissatisfaction in a familiar environment.
A suspicion of ambition is all i've ever known
Acknowledging a hint of ambition but recognizing limitations.
An ordinary rebel without any cause
Identifying as a rebellious individual without a specific cause.
I don't need your sex
Rejecting the significance of sex, valuing applause instead.
If I have your applause
Indifference to physical intimacy if there is admiration from others.
Dead Eyes on me
Repetition of the theme of critical eyes focused on the speaker.
I'm out of fashion baby
Reiteration of feeling out of fashion with indifference to societal perceptions.
As if it mattered to me
Emphasizing the lack of concern for societal opinions about being out of fashion.
Dead Eyes on me
Continuation of the theme of critical eyes observing the speaker.
I'm out of fashion baby
Restating the feeling of being out of fashion with an indifferent attitude.
As if it mattered to me
Reiterating the disregard for societal judgments about being out of fashion.
What are you running for?
Prompting reflection on the reasons for running or seeking escape.
I'll let you decide
Leaving the decision about what to run for to the listener.
What are you running from?
Leaving the decision about what to run from to the listener.
I'll let you decide
Allowing the listener to decide the source of their own struggles.
Dead Eyes on me
Reiteration of critical eyes focused on the speaker.
I'm out of fashion baby
Reiterating the feeling of being out of fashion with indifference to societal perceptions.
As if it mattered to me
Emphasizing the lack of concern for societal opinions about being out of fashion.
Dead Eyes on me
Continuation of the theme of critical eyes observing the speaker.
I'm out of fashion baby
Restating the feeling of being out of fashion with an indifferent attitude.
As if it mattered to me
Reiterating the disregard for societal judgments about being out of fashion.
