Cool Scene
Navigating Teenhood: The Dandy Warhols' Cool Scene Unveiled
Lyrics
Well I'm just not making your scene
Feeling disconnected or out of place in the social environment being referred to
And I really don't feel like I need
Not feeling the necessity or desire to conform to the scene or norms
I really don't mean that it's cool
Clarification that not adhering to the scene doesn't imply it's enjoyable or acceptable
Didn't really want to be in high school
Expressing a lack of desire to have been a part of the high school experience
I'm dealing with the things that I've been
Dealing with personal issues or experiences
If it wasn't so appropriate then
These issues would not be considered appropriate in the given context
I really don't care what I sing
Indifference towards the reception or reaction to one's creative output (music in this context)
And I really doubt you know what I mean
Doubting that others truly understand the intended meaning or emotions
And I really don't mean that it's cool
Reiteration that not conforming to the scene isn't portrayed as a positive or enjoyable thing
Didn't really want to be in high school
Reiterating the lack of desire to have been in high school
All the talking fools
Disparaging reference to those who talk excessively without much substance
What it means
An inquiry into the significance or implications of the situation
Last I've seen
The most recent encounter or experience
Baby it's all me
Taking responsibility for the current situation
I'm just not making your scene
Feeling alienated from or incompatible with the prevailing social environment
And I really felt that you're a cool being
Perceiving someone else as effortlessly fitting into the scene
I really don't know what I mean
Expressing uncertainty about one's own thoughts or expressions
And it really isn't worth the trying
Implying that the effort involved isn't justified
I'm feeling pretty chill with nothing
Feeling relaxed or calm despite lacking something significant
Like I'm livin' in a world that follows you
Sense of being in a world influenced by another person's actions or decisions
Don't really think you know your friends man
Doubting someone's understanding of their friends or social connections
Like you're livin' in a social hydrant
Living within a highly social but possibly superficial or shallow environment
I really don't mean that it's cool
Reiterating the lack of desire to have been in high school
Didn't really want to be in high school
Reiterating indifference towards high school experiences
All the talking fools
Reference to people who talk excessively without much substance
What it means
Questioning the significance or implications of the situation
The last I seen
Referring to the most recent encounter or experience
Baby it's all me
Taking responsibility for the current situation
Didn't really want to be in high school
Reiterating the lack of desire to have been in high school
All the talking fools
Reference to people who talk excessively without much substance
What it means
Questioning the significance or implications of the situation
Last I seen
Referring to the most recent encounter or experience
Baby it's all me
Taking responsibility for the current situation
