about

This song pretty much details the reason why I don’t want to commit suicide or hurt myself anymore. It’s because I love the people around me so much, that I would never want to purposely do anything that causes them grief, but also because I still have big dreams of being a world renowned musician, and I have a 0% chance of doing that if I’m dead. I always felt like I never fit in with anyone, so this song brushes up on those ideas too, but I’ve learned over the years that it is 110% okay to not fit in, because that just means you’re doing something different, you know? People always want to criticize me or downplay my achievements so I shut them the fuck down with “Obnoxious Sounds” and “Quiet Voices”, and that no matter what, I’m going to always like myself more tha anyone else could, so as long as I’m happy, fuck what anyone else thinks. The chorus itself alludes to just how I wish things could be in my perfect world, but that’s the beauty of life, nothings perfect. Sometimes you get a hand full of cards, and two seven is the best that you’ve ever got, and that’s okay. Just keep striving to be the best, and you’ll find yourself happy.

lyrics

Never fit in with the crowd,
Always let everyone down,
Always seem to get back up,
Prove them wrong,
With obnoxious sounds.

Never fit in with the crowd,
I like it better safe and sound,
As I live a life all alone,
No ones home,
But my heart for the crowd,
Is written in stone.

As I live a life,
So hopelessly lost,
But my love for the lights,
Is gleaming from my soul.

As I live a life,
Wishing to be gone,
But my love for the people,
Is more than my own.

I wish I grew up more like you,
Safe and secure like a tool.
I wish I could be fixed,
By true loves only kiss,
But that fix of bliss,
Isn’t true.
I wish I grew up less depressed,
I wish my mom was never dead,
But sometimes we get a hand full of cards,
2-7 is the best that you’ve ever got.

Never fit in with the crowd,
Always let everyone down,
Always seem to get back up,
And prove them wrong,
With quiet voices

Never fit in with the crowd,
I like me better somehow,
So if you’ve got a question,
Go ask someone else,
I’m no help and I’ll never be now

So if you’ve got a question,
Please direct your attention,
To someone who’s better off now

So if you’ve got a question,
I might have an answer,
But my answer might let you down.

I wish I grew up more like you,
Safe and secure like a tool.
I wish I could be fixed,
By true loves only kiss,
But that fix of bliss,
Isn’t true.
I wish I grew up less depressed,
I wish my mom was never dead,
But sometimes we get a hand full of cards,
2-7 is the best that you’ve ever got.
