Sheep in the yard
Embracing Conformity: Telescoping's 'Sheep in the Yard'
Lyrics
They say they like what makes them feel good
They appreciate things that bring them pleasure.
I like what others say that is cool
My preference is influenced by what others consider cool.
I don´t have any personal will
I lack a personal sense of volition or independent will.
I just follow
I simply conform and follow.
And stand still
I remain static, without making significant movements or decisions.
Still
Reiteration of the stagnant state, emphasizing the lack of change.
I´m, sheep in the yard
I identify myself as a sheep in the yard, symbolizing conformity.
I feel so good in these boots
I find comfort in these boots, despite external opinions.
But John said that they were not cool
John disapproves of my boots, challenging my sense of coolness.
And Jane said I look like trash
Jane criticizes my appearance, suggesting I look undesirable.
And I said oh
I respond with an acknowledgment, possibly indicating resignation or acceptance.
I´m, sheep in the yard
Reiteration of identifying as a conformist "sheep in the yard."
I´m
Emphasis on the repeated identity as a sheep, reinforcing conformity.
I´m
-I´m
-Sheep in the yard
Final affirmation of being a sheep in the yard, concluding the theme.
