Not Listening
Defying Conformity: Embracing Independence and Resilience in 'Not Listening'
Lyrics
I'm not listening, not anymore
I am deliberately not paying attention anymore.
The more I learn, the more I ignore
The more I learn, the more I choose to ignore.
I'm not listening, not anymore
Continuation of a conscious decision not to listen.
The more I hear, the more I ignore
Despite hearing more, I'm increasingly ignoring it.
No I'm not listening, not anymore, No
Reiteration that the speaker is not listening anymore.
'Cause you gotta be bigger, be faster, be stronger
Emphasizing the need to be resilient and strong to survive in life.
If your gonna survive any longer
-In this lifetime, it better be the right time
-The first time might be your last time
Highlighting the importance of making the right choices in life.
Am I a failure if I got nothing to lose
Questioning personal worth but asserting a determination to prove oneself.
No, I'm not a failure, I got something to prove
-I'm not listening, not anymore
Repeating the theme of intentional ignorance despite increasing awareness.
The more I learn, the more I ignore
-I'm not listening, not anymore
-The more I hear, the more I ignore, the more I ignore
-'Cause I've lost my innocence
Expressing a loss of innocence and embracing a fearless attitude towards life.
And I'm a stranger, A life changer
-I'm a man that's not afraid of danger
-I walk my own path, and blaze my own trail
-Because I'm not afraid to derail
-I won't get in line or be a middle man
Refusing to conform, choosing independence, and making individual plans.
So fuck you I'll make my own plan
-And I got respect and I don't neglect
Asserting respect for those important and a commitment to protect them.
The people that I really care to protect
-Am I a failure if I got nothing to lose
Reiterating the rejection of failure and determination to prove oneself.
No, I'm not a failure, I got something to prove
-I'm not listening, not anymore
Repeatedly stating the decision not to listen despite increasing knowledge.
The more I learn, the more I ignore
-I'm not listening, not anymore
-The more I hear, the more I ignore, the more I ignore
-I told you before, won't listen anymore
Repeating the refusal to listen and a desire to settle a score.
I told you before, lets settle the score
-I told you before, won't listen anymore
-I told you before, lets settle the score
-If not them then who?
Raising questions about responsibility and timing.
If not now then when?
-I'm not listening, not anymore
Reiterating the deliberate choice to stop listening despite awareness.
The more I learn, the more I ignore
-I'm not listening, not anymore
-The more I hear, the more I ignore, the more I ignore
-I told you before, won't listen anymore
Continuing the theme of not listening and a call to settle a score.
I told you before, lets settle the score
-I told you before, won't listen anymore
-I told you before, lets settle the score
-Set it off right now
Expressing a desire to initiate action and create an impact immediately.
Blow it up, set it off
-Fuck it up, set it off
-Blow it up, Blow it up right now
