Seems Like I Gotta Do Wrong
Struggling for Recognition: Battling Invisibility Through Wrong Choices
Lyrics
Another day has come and gone
Expressing the passage of time, a day has ended.
In a world where I don't belong
Feeling out of place in the world.
Another week has passed me by
Highlighting the passing of another week.
It's not because I didn't try
Not succeeding despite making an effort.
Nobody saw me walking
Going unnoticed while walking.
And nobody heard me talking
Speaking without being heard.
Seems like I gotta do wrong,
Feeling compelled to do wrong.
Gotta do wrong, gotta do wrong
Emphasizing the repetition and necessity of doing wrong.
Before they notice me
Doing wrong as a means to gain attention.
Another job that I just can't get
Experiencing difficulty in securing employment.
A nice apartment, the landlord jut won't rent
Struggling to find suitable housing.
I go to bed, but my sleep just won't come
Difficulty in falling asleep despite efforts.
My belly's empty and my brain is numb
Experiencing hunger and mental fatigue.
Nobody saw me walking
Going unnoticed while walking (repeated theme).
And nobody heard me talking
Speaking without being heard (repeated theme).
Seems like I gotta do wrong,
Reiterating the compulsion to do wrong.
Gotta do wrong, gotta do wrong
Reinforcing the repetition and necessity of doing wrong.
Before they notice me
Doing wrong as a means to gain notice (repeated theme).
Seems like I gotta do wrong
Reaffirming the inclination to do wrong.
Before they notice me
Doing wrong as a strategy for attention (repeated theme).
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Expressing emotions with vocal sounds.
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Continuation of vocal expressions.
I go to bed, but my sleep just won't come
Reiterating the difficulty in falling asleep.
My belly's empty and my brain is numb
Re-emphasizing hunger and mental fatigue.
Nobody saw me walking
Going unnoticed while walking (repeated theme).
And nobody heard me talking
Speaking without being heard (repeated theme).
Seems like I gotta do wrong,
Reiterating the compulsion to do wrong.
Gotta do wrong, gotta do wrong
Reinforcing the repetition and necessity of doing wrong.
Before they notice me
Doing wrong as a means to gain notice (repeated theme).
Yes, I do, oh, yeah
Affirming the need to do wrong.
Seems like I gotta do wrong,
Reiterating the compulsion to do wrong.
Gotta do wrong, gotta do wrong
Reinforcing the repetition and necessity of doing wrong.
Before they notice me
Doing wrong as a means to gain notice (repeated theme).
