Nobody knows my name
Unseen Brilliance: Rogue Rodney's Anthem of Recognition
Lyrics
Been to so many places, seen many different faces
Reflecting on various experiences and encounters with diverse people.
Countless conversations, how easily they fade away
Noting the transient nature of conversations, how they easily fade away.
Tried standing in the spotlight thinking that one day I might
Attempting to be in the spotlight, aspiring for recognition and success.
Step out from behind the Curtains watch me breakaway
Expressing a desire to break away from obscurity and be noticed.
Just like the stars were made to shine
Comparing oneself to stars, suggesting an inherent ability to shine.
Just like the sun I am going to rise
Asserting a determination to rise and succeed like the sun.
They clap their hands but don't recognize
Noticing applause but feeling unrecognized for achievements.
They don't recognize me
Emphasizing the lack of recognition from others.
Nobody knows my name but to tell you the truth
Acknowledging that one's name is not widely known, but expressing indifference.
It doesn't matter cuz you know me and I know you
Stressing the importance of mutual understanding between the speaker and the listener.
Nobody knows my name I won't be put to shame
Asserting that lack of fame or recognition doesn't bring shame.
It don't matter that nobody knows me but you
Highlighting the significance of being known by someone special.
Am I invisible, so inconspicuous
Questioning if the speaker is overlooked or unnoticed.
That I could walk right through this room and not a single head will turn
Describing the potential of being ignored in a room full of people.
Everyone's got a purpose so I won't stay behind
Acknowledging everyone's purpose and determination not to be left behind.
Out of sight out of mind, just another lesson learned
Accepting that being out of sight leads to being out of mind, learning from experiences.
Just like the stars were made to shine
Reiterating the inherent ability to shine, paralleling it with stars.
Just like the sun I am going to rise
Reaffirming the determination to rise and succeed, similar to the sun.
They clap their hands but don't recognize
Noting applause without genuine recognition.
They don't recognize me
Reiterating the lack of recognition from others.
Nobody knows my name but to tell you the truth
Repeating the idea that the speaker's name is not widely known.
It doesn't matter cuz you know me and I know you
Emphasizing the importance of mutual knowledge between individuals.
Nobody knows my name I won't be put to shame
Affirming that lack of fame or recognition doesn't lead to shame.
It don't matter that nobody knows me but you

Engraved I am in the palm of your hands
Describing a sense of being engraved in someone's care and attention.
They don't see my smile but I'm precious in your eyes
Highlighting the value placed on the speaker by someone, even if not visible to others.
Took me some time but now I realize that
Realizing over time that someone special sees and values the speaker.
Nobody knows my name but to tell you the truth
