| Rob Thomas – Wonderful Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
People who used to love him, are beginning to get bored or annoyed with him for no reason: "All the ways they have to make me smile, and then they go and break me" "And now I'm overrated, overdressed and overstated" (I think Rob Thomas may be talking about the media's ever-changing opinions of him) He feels the only way to make people like him is by pretending to be someone he's not. And no matter what he does, he falls short. He can't stop pretending because he desperately seeks his peer's approval. "No I can't be myself And I can't be nobody else but if I could Would you love me then?" So, he's frustrated because he's trying so hard, and people still have negative opinions of him. He's tired, confused, and he doesn't know what to do anymore. I love this song because it's so relatable, especially since I'm in high school. I was actually wondering.... Do you still have to be put on a mask to find/keep people's approval after high school? Even, if you're not a 3-time Grammy-winning recording artist? |
