I Want to Be Wrong
Navigating Deceptive Paths: Embracing Uncertainty in No Use for a Name's 'I Want to Be Wrong'
Lyrics
Let me introduce myself, my name is no concern
Introducing oneself without revealing personal details.
The room is filled with superficial voices
Surrounded by insincere or fake voices.
As the smoke clears I can see one hundred little lies
Amidst deception, seeing numerous small lies.
Racing to the finish for a consolation prize
Competition for a small reward, suggesting futile efforts.
I want to be wrong
Expressing a desire to be proven wrong.
I wish that I was uncertain just like yesterday
Wishing for uncertainty, contrasting with current clarity.
This is not who I am, been planning my escape
Denying one's current identity, planning an escape.
So long now that my map looks like a maze
Long-planned escape, resulting in a confusing path.
Always on the dark side of a pessimistic moon
Consistently facing negativity or challenges.
Or burning in the sun of what they're saying
Experiencing criticism or scrutiny.
If you have the foresight can you read between the lines?
Seeking insight to understand hidden meanings.
Finger two and four inviting fingers one and five
Symbolic reference to complex relationships or situations.
To be in this song, it's nothing I can shut off
Being part of a situation involuntarily, unable to disengage.
But I think it's my place
Accepting a role in revealing the falseness of others' plans.
To let you know I know that all your plans are fake
Acknowledging awareness of others' deceptive intentions.
And what you give me I could never take
Unwilling to accept insincere offerings from others.
Are you confusing me with someone else you hardly even know?
Questioning if mistaken for someone else with limited knowledge.
I'm sitting here observing and more often I am learning
Observing and learning from the actions of others.
That you are an artist and this is your show... so sing it
Acknowledging others as artists in control of their own narratives.
I want to be wrong but what did I really think
Expressing a desire to be proven wrong, questioning initial beliefs.
That this could become real?
Reflecting on the unrealistic nature of certain expectations.
Now writing in cliches to learn from my mistakes
Learning from past mistakes, now using cliches to convey lessons.
But how much of you could anyone take?
Questioning the extent of others' endurance or patience.
