Notice Me
Yearning for Recognition: Valeria Roswell's 'Notice Me' Unveils the Loneliness Behind the Mask
Lyrics
I can’t see, why they talk to other people but just not me
I feel excluded as others talk to people but not to me.
And she, has everybody’s attention, all that perfection
A girl has everyone's attention due to her perfection.
Compliments for that tight dress of course she did it again
Compliments are given for her tight dress, repeating a pattern.
And there I am, alone, pretending to be on my phone
I am alone, pretending to be engaged with my phone.
And I don’t know what else to do to make them notice me
I don't know how to gain attention; feeling ignored.
All I get to see is all the people judging me
People judge me, and that's all I experience.
And maybe I should change how I am for everyone
Considering changing myself for others but unsure.
And save what I really am
I want to preserve my true self amidst societal expectations.
Sometimes, I see personalities then want to change mine
Contemplating changing my personality based on others.
There’s no escape, my phone just tells me how I should dress
Feeling trapped as external influences dictate my clothing choices.
I don’t have someone to protect myself nobody feels like me
Yearning for someone who understands me; feeling isolated.
The only thing I want is to get out of here
The desire to escape from the current situation.
And I don’t know what else to do to make them notice me
Reiterating the struggle to be noticed and acknowledged.
All I get to see is all the people judging me
Continued experience of judgment from others.
And maybe I should change how I am for everyone
Considering changing oneself to fit societal expectations.
And save what I really am
Expressing the internal conflict between conformity and authenticity.
And it’s so easy to say that the same thing doesn’t happen to you
Others deny facing similar challenges, contributing to isolation.
Make me feel less and then say that it’s not true
Experiencing belittlement and denial of one's feelings.
And I don’t know what else to do to make them notice me
Repeating the struggle for recognition and acceptance.
All I get to see is all the people judging me
Ongoing perception of being judged by those around.
And maybe I should change how I am for everyone
Considering conformity to gain acceptance from others.
And save what I really am
Reaffirming the desire to preserve one's true self amidst external pressures.
