Daydream
Embracing Dreams: A Rebellion Against Conformity
Lyrics
I wanna do this, you won't let me do that
I desire to pursue certain things, but you are preventing me from doing so.
Coz it was never your own choice to make
This decision was never yours to make; it was not your own choice.
I'll set it on fire just to get higher
I'm willing to set things on fire metaphorically to reach greater heights.
Watching your world go up in flames
Observing your world or life crumbling and facing challenges.
And all my friends are growing up so fast
All my friends are maturing quickly.
Reality is setting but I'm just forgetting
While reality is settling in, I'm choosing to forget or ignore it.
I will be ok with who I am so just shut up
I'll be fine with who I am; please refrain from commenting or criticizing.
I won't change for what you want me
I won't change to meet your expectations or desires.
I won't sing my song to your own beat
I won't conform my song or life to fit your rhythm or expectations.
Feels just like a daydream away
Experiencing a state of mind where everything feels like a distant, pleasant dream.
Feels like a daydream away
Continuation of the dream-like feeling, emphasizing its ethereal nature.
I won't ever give up myself
I will never give up on being true to myself.
Watch my dreams sit high upon the shelf
My dreams are placed on a high shelf, symbolizing their importance.
Feels just like a daydream away
Similar to lines 10 and 11, expressing the dream-like quality of the situation.
Feels like a daydream away
Reiteration of the dream-like feeling.
Gotta act my own age, no it's really not a phase
I need to act my age, and this is not a temporary phase.
Just a small moment of your time
A small request for attention or consideration.
Gotta think like our fathers, a bunch of fucking liars
Suggesting that thinking like our fathers is deceitful or dishonest.
Preaching what the world sold onto them
Fathers are seen as preaching what the world imposed on them.
They tell me, teach me the way it's s'pposed to be
Others are instructing or advising based on societal expectations.
It's not what I want, you never had a thought
You never thought about how I plan to change the world, so leave me alone.
About how I'm gonna change the world so just fuck off
Emphatic dismissal of conforming to others' expectations.
I won't change for what you want me
Reiteration of resistance to changing for others.
I won't sing my song to your own beat
Reiterating the refusal to conform one's song or life to others' expectations.
