Lyrics
Well I live with snakes and lizards
Living among deceptive and cunning individuals
And other things that go bump in the night
Surrounded by eerie or frightening things that cause disturbance during nighttime
'Cause to me everyday is Halloween
Every day feels like Halloween to the singer, expressing a sense of being outcast or different
I have given up hiding and started to fight
No longer concealing one's true self and choosing to confront challenges
I have started to fight
Reinforcing the decision to confront and face challenges head-on
Well any time, any place, anywhere that I go
The reaction of people in various situations and locations to the singer's appearance
All the people seem to stop and stare
People staring and showing curiosity or disbelief
They say "why are you dressed like it's Halloween?
Others questioning the reason for the singer's appearance as if in costume every day
You look so absurd, you look so obscene"
People finding the singer's appearance strange, unconventional, or offensive
Oh, why can't I live a life for me?
Expressing frustration about not being allowed to live life authentically
Why should I take the abuse that's served?
Questioning why the singer must endure mistreatment
Why can't they see they're just like me
Highlighting the similarity between the singer and others despite differences in appearance
It's the same, it's the same in the whole wide world
Emphasizing the universal nature of experiencing similar challenges worldwide
Well I let their teeny minds think
Allowing others to believe the singer is unstable to keep them cautious
That they're dealing with someone who is over the brink
Implying a deliberate strategy to maintain distance by appearing unpredictable
And I dress this way just to keep them at bay
Dressing uniquely to create a barrier between oneself and others
'Cause Halloween is everyday
Declaring that every day is Halloween as a means of self-protection
It's everyday
Reiterating the sentiment that each day is akin to Halloween
Oh, why can't I live a life for me?
Re-emphasizing the desire to live life authentically and independently
Why should I take the abuse that's served?
Questioning the necessity of enduring mistreatment from others
Why can't they see they're just like me
Highlighting the similarity between the singer and others despite differences in appearance
It's the same, it's the same in the whole wide world
Reiterating the universal nature of facing similar challenges worldwide
Oh, why can't I live a life for me?
Expressing frustration about not being allowed to live life authentically
Why should I take the abuse that's served?
Questioning the necessity of enduring mistreatment from others
Why can't they see they're just like me
Highlighting the similarity between the singer and others despite differences in appearance
I'm not the one that's so absurd
Asserting that the singer is not the only one who appears unconventional
Why hide it why fight it?
Questioning the need to conceal one's true self and the futility of fighting against it
Hurt feelings best to stop feeling hurt
Suggesting that it's better to stop being hurt by others' negative reactions
Denials, reprisals
Refusal to accept denials or retaliate against mistreatment
It's the same it's the same in the whole wide world
Emphasizing the global universality of experiencing similar challenges
It's the same it's the same in the whole wide
Reiteration of the commonality of facing similar challenges worldwide
It's the same it's the same in the whole wide
Continued emphasis on the universality of shared struggles
It's the same it's the same in the whole wide world
Reiterating that similar challenges exist universally across the world
