Stunningly Average
Embracing Imperfection: The Struggle and Triumph of 'Stunningly Average'
Lyrics
I got some friends together let's make some art
The speaker gathers friends to create art.
Something we've always wanted to do
They pursue something they've long desired to do.
We've done everything to keep this project from failing
Efforts were made to prevent the project from failing.
We stick to our goals like glue
They are dedicated and committed to their goals.
We've wrote some songs that we think rip
They believe they've written impressive songs.
There's not a song you'll wanna skip
Confidence in the quality of their music; no song is skippable.
So give this a listen please
Asking listeners to give their music a chance.
We spent all our money to make it
They've invested all their money in creating this.
That's another reason you should take it
Encouraging people to value the effort put into it.
Just Please don't tell us it's Stunningly Average
Pleading not to be labeled as "Stunningly Average."
Stunningly Average
Reiteration of concern about being perceived as average.
You get what you pay for: this shitty music
Expectation that the quality might not meet expectations.
The format it's on to you's completely useless
They believe the distribution format may not serve the music well.
You'll never wanna hear this again
Anticipation that the music might not be worth revisiting.
It's been a couple days since we released our art
Reflection on the time passed since the release.
Something we've always wanted to do
Reiteration of pursuing a long-desired artistic endeavor.
But the reviews just came in: it's the worst of the year
Received negative reviews, considered the worst of the year.
What went wrong we have no clue
Perplexed about what went awry.
It's what everyone is thinking
Suspecting that public opinion mirrors their doubts.
Our confidence is shrinking
They feel a decline in their self-assurance.
I don't know what to do
Expressing uncertainty about the next steps.
They say don't quit your day job
Common advice not to pursue music professionally.
Cause this ain't your thing
Suggesting their music isn't well-received or suitable.
Well it's not like they don't have proof
Acknowledgment that negative feedback exists.
But that's what you get when you release something
Consequence of releasing something that disappoints.
Stunningly Average
Repetition of concern about being seen as average.
Stunningly Average
Reiteration of concern about being perceived as average.
You get what you pay for: this shitty music
Similar to line 12, expressing anticipation of mediocre quality.
The format it's on to you's completely useless
Repetition of the belief that the distribution format may not serve the music well.
You'll never wanna hear this shit again
Strongly anticipating a lack of desire to revisit the music.
