Let The Boy Cook
Breaking Free: Unveiling the Rebellion in 'Let The Boy Cook'
Lyrics
I refuse to fit the mold
I reject conformity and refuse to conform to expectations.
What happened to all your dreams
What happened to the dreams you once had?
Did the suits convince you to leave
Did external influences (suits) persuade you to abandon your goals and self-respect?
Your aspirations and dignity
Did you forsake your ambitions and dignity?
Or did you forget how it used to be
Have you forgotten how things used to be?
To skate down 86th St
Recalling the past experience of skating down 86th St.
Get chased by the cops running
Recollecting being pursued by the police while running.
I know life gets away from us
Acknowledging that life can become overwhelming.
But we cant give up
Despite life's challenges, it's crucial not to give up.
We cant give up
Reiteration of the importance of perseverance.
For all the deadbeat kids
Dedicated to individuals facing challenges and disappointments.
With broken hearts and fantasies
Referring to those with shattered dreams and unrealized fantasies.
Be the person that you want to be
Encouragement to be true to oneself.
And not what others need to see
Emphasizing authenticity over societal expectations.
You'll scream "NO! NO! NO!" when they reign you in
Anticipating resistance when others try to control or influence.
Because they just won't understand
Expecting a lack of understanding from those who impose control.
You don't have to fit this mold
Reasserting the rejection of societal molds.
All stories are made before they're told
Highlighting that stories are shaped before being narrated.
Let's take a trip down memory lane
Proposing a reflection on past experiences.
And see if I can try to explain
Expressing disappointment when communication or socializing diminishes.
That it kinda bums me out
Feeling disheartened when there's a lack of interaction or hanging out.
When we don't talk or hangout
Recollection of a near-death experience.
Remember when I almost died
Humorous acknowledgment of numerous close calls with death.
Pick any of the hundred times
Mourning the absence of the joyous laughter shared in the past.
I miss all the laughs we had
Expressing perpetual anger, potentially related to the loss of joy.
But now I'm always mad
Reiterating persistent frustration and self-directed anger.
I'm always mad, mad at myself
Continued self-anger and dissatisfaction.
For all the deadbeat kids
Reference to individuals facing challenges and shattered dreams.
With broken hearts and fantasies
Reiteration of sympathy for those with broken hearts and unfulfilled fantasies.
Be the person that you want to be
Encouragement to embrace one's desired identity.
And not what others need to see
Advocating authenticity over societal expectations.
You'll scream "NO! NO! NO!" when they reign you in
Anticipating resistance to external influences.
Because they just won't understand
Expecting a lack of understanding from those trying to control.
You don't have to fit this mold
Reasserting the rejection of societal molds.
All stories are made before they're told
Reemphasizing that stories are shaped before being told.
WHY'D I HAVE TO WASTE SO MUCH TIME
Expressing regret for the time wasted on unproductive pursuits.
Listen up you deadbeat kids
A direct address to individuals facing challenges similar to the artist's.
With broken hearts just like me
Sympathy for those with broken hearts, shared experiences.
Be the person that you want to be
Encouragement to pursue one's desired identity.
It's not too far out of reach
Positivity about achieving personal goals, not beyond reach.
You'll scream "NO! NO! NO!" when they reign you in
Anticipating resistance when others try to exert control.
Because I can finally understand
Personal realization of the unnecessary conformity.
We don't have to fit this mold
Reiteration that rejecting societal molds is acceptable.
All stories are made before they're told
Reemphasizing that everyone has a unique story to tell.
