Lyrics
Strut into the room I'm feelin myself in my jeans
Entering confidently, feeling good about oneself in well-fitted jeans.
Rockin the same attitude I had at 17
Maintaining the same rebellious attitude as at age 17.
Cuz self obsessed the way that I think you should be
Embracing self-obsession as a positive quality.
Oh a version 2.0 like one you've neva seen
Presenting an improved version of oneself, unseen before.
A new age primadonna much less like a drama queen
Being a modern, less dramatic prima donna.
Feelin like a sauna in the hundred degree heat
Feeling intense heat, akin to a sauna, emphasizing the intensity of emotions.
I feel the blood rush from my head down to my feet
Experiencing a rush of blood from head to feet, possibly indicating excitement or confidence.
Mama said that confidence not cockiness is key
Quoting advice from Mama about the importance of confidence over arrogance.
I'm breakin through today
Expressing a breakthrough moment in self-discovery or accomplishment.
Cuz I'm droppin down the gangway cut the line and find I'm drifting away
Cutting ties and moving away, indicating a desire for change and independence.
To a new state
Moving to a new state, both physically and metaphorically.
Moving faster going nowhere following the current rift of the waves
Speeding up but going nowhere, following the current without direction.
A brand new me
Embracing a transformed self, rising from challenges or difficulties.
Yeah I'm rising from ashes tell the masses its the best I could be
Highlighting personal growth and presenting the best version of oneself.
And when you're too far gone
Addressing someone who is too distant or lost.
You'll wanna shut your flooding mouth and watch me prove you wrong
Encouraging silence from doubters and proving them wrong through actions.
I see your nose straight up in the back of the room
Observing someone with a proud demeanor at the back of the room.
Thinking every single pair of eyes are locked on you
Believing that all eyes are on that person, emphasizing self-importance.
It's funny cuz I know that it's the farthest from the truth
Contrasting the perceived attention with the reality of the situation.
And your arrogance just gives you so much more to prove
Noting that arrogance adds more pressure to prove oneself.
And I can tell just from the way you move
Recognizing effort to take the shortest route, possibly avoiding challenges.
That you try your hardest to avoid the longest route
Describing someone imitating success but avoiding difficulties.
You say if he can do it I can do it too
Expressing a competitive mindset influenced by others' achievements.
But it's looking more like heads I win and tails you lose.
Suggesting a situation where success is favored, leaving little room for failure.
You'll break through some day
Encouraging the belief that breakthroughs will eventually happen.
When you finally drop the gangway cut the line and find you're drifting away
Reiterating the theme of breaking free and drifting away for personal growth.
To a new state
Continuing the journey with a sense of purpose but without a clear destination.
Moving forward going nowhere following the current rift of the waves
Reflecting on the paradox of moving forward yet going nowhere.
A brand new you
Promoting the idea of a reinvented self, rising from challenges.
Yeah you're rising from the ashes tell the masses you've been blessed by the truth
Declaring a positive transformation acknowledged by others.
And when we're too far gone
Anticipating skepticism from others when one is too distant or successful.
They'll wanna shut their bloody mouths and watch you prove them wrong
Encouraging the successful individual to prove doubters wrong with actions.
But hindsights 2020
Acknowledging the clarity that comes with hindsight.
And after that year I think its fair to say
Referencing the year 2020 as a time of reflection and realization.
Im breakin through today
Repeating the theme of personal breakthrough and advancement.
Cuz I'm droppin down the gangway cut the line and find I'm drifting away
Reiterating the desire for change and independence through metaphorical drifting.
To a new state
Continuing the journey with a sense of purpose but without a clear destination.
Moving faster going nowhere following the current rift of the waves
Reflecting on the paradox of moving forward yet going nowhere.
A brand new me
Promoting the idea of a reinvented self, rising from challenges.
Yeah I'm rising from ashes tell the masses it's the best I could be
Declaring a positive transformation acknowledged by others.
And when you're too far gone, you'll wanna shut your fucking mouth
Asserting that when one is too distant or successful, others may want them to be silent.
Yeah you'll shut your fucking mouth and watch me prove you wrong
Emphasizing the determination to prove doubters wrong, even in the face of negativity.
