Everybody Else
Embracing Authenticity: The Blue Nile's 'Everybody Else' Unveils a Quest for Individuality
Lyrics
I woke up good this morning
I started the day positively and in a good mood
And nothing in my way
There are no obstacles or challenges in my way
I woke up good this morning
Reiteration of waking up in a positive state
Darling let's say yeah
Expressing a desire to share the positive feeling with a loved one
I woke up good this morning
Emphasizing the continuation of feeling good
The world is right outside
Awareness of the external world waiting outside
Yes start out feeling lucky
Feeling fortunate and ready to embark on a journey
Gonna catch a ride
Intent to catch a ride, possibly metaphorical for taking opportunities
I don't want to be
Expressing a desire not to conform or follow the crowd
Everybody else
Declaring a reluctance to be like everyone else
When are we gonna be ourselves
Pose a question about when individuals will embrace their true selves
You know the flags ?
Unclear reference to flags, possibly metaphorical or symbolic
Sleeping in the rain
Imagery of sleeping in the rain, suggesting vulnerability or discomfort
You want to try and see in this time
Suggesting a willingness to try and improve in this particular moment
Maybe we could start again
Expressing hope for a fresh start or a new beginning
I don't want to be
Reiteration of not wanting to conform to societal norms
With everybody else
Restating a desire not to be like everyone else
So when we gonna be ourselves
Pose a question about when individuals will be true to themselves
I know you're in love with me now
Acknowledgment of being loved in the present
Sometimes the goodness don't last
Acknowledging that positive feelings may not always last
yeah yeah
Reiteration of acknowledgment with emphasis
You know I woke up good this morning
Reiteration of waking up positively
Gonna change this time
Expressing an intention to bring about change in this instance
The sergeants in their marching bands
Reference to sergeants and marching bands, possibly symbolic of authority
Walking out in the broken lines
Imagery of walking in broken lines, suggesting deviation from the norm
I don't want to be with everybody else
Reiteration of not wanting to conform to societal expectations
When are we gonna be ourselves
Pose a question about when individuals will be true to themselves
I don't want to be with everybody else
Reiteration of not wanting to be like everyone else
When are we gonna be ourselves
Pose a question about when individuals will embrace their true selves
I woke up good this morning
Reiteration of waking up positively
I woke up good this morning
