Lyrics

Maybe I'll never really learn

Expressing uncertainty about ever truly understanding or grasping something.

Maybe I'm trapped inside my own world

Feeling confined within one's own perspective or reality.

The kid in the back of your class

Referring to a person in the background of a learning environment, possibly feeling overlooked.

They knew that I would never last

Suggesting a perception that others expected the speaker to fail or not succeed.

So I'm kinda quiet, sure

Acknowledging a reserved or quiet demeanor while emphasizing a rich inner world of thoughts.

But in my mind there's so much more

Contrasting outward quietness with a vibrant and active inner mental life.


Keep on telling myself I'll be somebody someday

Expressing the desire to achieve significance or success in the future.

But really when is someday?

Raising questions about the elusive nature of the future and when success might be attained.


Act like I know what I'm doing but I really don't

Admitting to a lack of certainty or knowledge in navigating life.

I hope I get to share my message but for now I'll just be unknown

Aspiring to convey a message but feeling unrecognized or unnoticed, remaining in obscurity.


Don't be rude I'm a person too

Asserting the speaker's humanity and requesting empathy and respect.

A human being just like you

Emphasizing commonality with others, highlighting shared experiences.

The bottom is where I've been shoved

Describing a history of being pushed down or marginalized.

So I dream of when I'll be above

Dreaming of a future where the speaker rises above current challenges and circumstances.

So I'm kinda detached, sure

Feeling emotionally distant or disengaged due to the perceived monotony of real life.

That's cus real life is such a bore

Attributing detachment to the uninteresting nature of everyday existence.


Keep on wishing that I would just do anything

Expressing a desire for motivation to take action and not waste one's life.

And not put my life to waste

Contemplating the consequences of not making the most of life.


Act like I know what I'm doing but I really don't

Reiterating the lack of confidence or certainty in navigating life's path.

I hope I get to share my message but for now I'll just be unknown

Repeating the aspiration to share a message while acknowledging current anonymity.


Below the earth is where I lay

Describing a state of being underground, possibly metaphorically representing obscurity or insignificance.

As my body starts to decay

Acknowledging the inevitability of physical decay or decline.

Please don't stare or look away

Requesting understanding or empathy in the face of personal struggles.

I wish you well have a nice day

Wishing well to others despite personal challenges, maintaining a positive attitude.


I act like I know what I'm doing but I really don't

Reiterating a lack of confidence or certainty in life's direction.

I hope I get to share my message but for now I'll just be unknown

Expressing the hope to share a meaningful message while acknowledging current anonymity.
