Lyrics
Look at me
Expressing a desire for attention or recognition.
Something from a TV screen
Feeling like a character from a television show.
Chasing down some ecstasy
Actively seeking intense pleasure or excitement.
But I want you to think that I'm deep
Wanting others to perceive depth or complexity.
Do some drugs
Engaging in substance use and adopting a nostalgic style.
And dress up like a 90s dad
Dressing in a manner reminiscent of the 1990s father figure.
I'm keeping up with all the fads
Keeping up with current trends and popular culture.
But I want to belong to the scene
Desiring to be part of a specific social or cultural group.
Oh, I know, maybe this won't last forever
Acknowledging the temporary nature of the current situation.
But, baby, I welcome the pressure
Embracing challenges and difficulties with enthusiasm.
Holy hell, I talk a lot about myself
Self-awareness of talking excessively about oneself.
Do interviews on mental health
Participating in discussions about mental health.
How I'm living the dream (What are you really doing?)
Raising questions about the authenticity of living the dream.
I thought it cool
Considering music-making and dropping out of school as cool.
Making music, dropping out of school
Acknowledging potential inadequacy or lack of preparedness.
But I probably won't have the tools
Expressing uncertainty about having the necessary skills.
To keep myself off the street
Fearing the possibility of ending up in a challenging situation.
Oh, I know, this ain't gonna last forever
Recognizing the impermanence of the current circumstances.
But, baby, I welcome the pressure
Expressing a positive attitude toward facing challenges.
La la la la la
Repeating the phrase "la la la la la" to engage the audience.
You like that?
-La la la la la
-Now you know it, so sing along
-La la la la la
-Wanna be the biggest band in the world so please sing along
-La la la la la
-It's been my pleasure, oh (la la la la la)
-And I welcome the pressure (la la la la la)
-It's been my pleasure (la la la la la)
-I'd like to think that I work better under pressure
Believing that one performs better when under pressure.
