Lyrics
I'm blunt I guess
I am straightforward, direct.
Not like the rest
I am different from others.
Oddly obsessed with the weirdest things
I have a peculiar fascination with unconventional things.
Unknowable
Unknown, mysterious.
Unapproachable
Difficult to approach.
At least that is what they've taught me
People have taught me to be this way.
So I sugar coat my words so that you know we're all good
I use sweet words to convey that everything is fine.
Conjure up a smile because I've learned that I should
I force a smile because society expects it.
And sitting in silence is weird apparently
Silence feels strange, hindering transparency.
Makes it hard for me to live my life transparently
Being silent makes it hard to be open about my life.
So I sugar coat
Repeated emphasis on using sweet words to mask true feelings.
Sugar coat

-I have conformed
I have conformed to societal norms.
So much that I
Conformity blurs the distinction between you and me.
Have blurred the line between you and I
Similar to lines 6-9, conforming to societal expectations.
Unusual
-Unconventional
-At least that is what they've taught me
-So I sugar coat my words so that you know we're all good
Repeated emphasis on using sweet words to mask true feelings.
Conjure up a smile because I've learned that I should
-And sitting in silence is weird apparently
-Makes it hard for me to live my life transparently
-So I sugar coat
-Sugar coat
-Sugar coat
-Sugar coat

-I've only ever made friends off of special interest
I make friends based on special interests.
There's nothing wrong with that, just doesn't leave too many options left
Limitation in options due to this approach.
And I don't want to have to change
Reluctance to change or make an effort to fit in.
And I don't want to have to try
-But I messed up so many times that I don't look 'em in the eye anymore
Avoiding eye contact due to past mistakes.
And what a bore life is
Life is dull when pretending to be like others.
When you're wearing the mask of every other damn kid you ever met
Wearing a metaphorical mask of conformity.
And can never expect to be accepted
Not expecting acceptance, fearing rejection.
Only to be treated as some kind of human wreckage
Feeling like human wreckage.
So I sugar coat my words so I'm not misunderstood
Repeated emphasis on using sweet words to mask true feelings.
And I always feel detached from the rest of the room
-And sometimes all I really need to do is move
-Sing it with me if you're feeling what I'm feeling too
-I sugar coat my words so that you know we're all good
-Conjure up a smile because I've learned that I should
-And sitting in silence is weird apparently
-Makes it hard for me to live my life transparently
-So I sugar coat
Repeated acknowledgment of sugar coating words.
Sugar coat
-Sugar coat
-Sugar coat
-Sugar coat
-Sugar coat
Final emphasis on sugar coating to maintain a facade.
