Lyrics

Got attitude don't plan on changing

Expressing a persistent attitude without intending to change.

No better mood so don't try to fix it

Content with the current mood, discouraging attempts to improve it.

Quite out of tune no need to weigh in

Feeling out of sync or disconnected, discouraging input from others.

Shut your mouth hold your tongue stop your complaining

Advocating silence and restraint, dismissing complaints.


I've been thinking about it lately

Reflecting on a repetitive and mundane daily routine, attributing it to boredom.

Maybe I'm just going crazy

-

Everyday the same old thing

-

No I'm just bored

-

I've been thinking about it lately

-

Maybe I'm just going crazy

-

Everyday the same old thing

-

No I'm just bored

-

Punch me in my face so I can feel a little something brand new

Metaphorically asking for a drastic change or action (being punched) to break the monotony and feel something new.

(Yeah yeah yeah yeah hey hey)

-

Punch me in my face so I can see a little color on you

-

(Yeah yeah yeah yeah hey hey)

-

Congratulations to myself

-

No hesitating I'm doing well

-

Punch me in my face so I can feel a little something brand new

-

(Yeah yeah yeah yeah hey hey)

-

c hundred proof don't plan on chasing

Expressing a commitment to a certain behavior or state, discouraging pursuit of alternatives.

Not in the mood I get tired of waiting

-

Think that I'm rude?

-

No need to say it

-

Shut your mouth hold your tongue stop your complaining

-

I've been thinking about it lately

Repetition of the theme of boredom and contemplation of going crazy due to the routine.

Maybe I'm just going crazy

-

Everyday the same old thing

-

No I'm just bored

-

I've been thinking about it lately

-

Maybe I'm just going crazy

-

Everyday the same old thing

-

No I'm just bored

-

Punch me in my face so I can feel a little something brand new

Reiteration of the desire for a novel experience, symbolized by being punched.

(Yeah yeah yeah yeah hey hey)

No hesitating I'm doing well

Punch me in my face so I can feel a little something brand new

(Yeah yeah yeah yeah hey hey)

(Knock me out)

Introducing the idea of being knocked out as a means to feel something different and embrace change.

Knock me out black and blue

-

Why you waiting?

-

I just want to feel something different

-

Take a shot just the one I'll embrace it

-

So knock me out knock me out

-

Punch me in my face so I can feel a little something brand new

Repeating the plea to be punched for a new experience and congratulating oneself for embracing change.

(Yeah yeah yeah yeah hey hey)

Punch me in my face so I can see a little color on you
