Lyrics for Everything To Everyone as interpreted by Demau Senae

Everything To Everyone Lyrics
You put yourself in stupid places
Yes I think you know it's true
Situations where it's easy to look down on you

I think you like to be the victim
I think you like to be in pain
I think you make yourself a victim almost every single day

You do what you do
You say what you say
You try to be everything to everyone

You know all the right people
You play all the right games
You always try to be everything to everyone

Yeah you do it again
You always do it again

You say they taught you to read and write
Yeah they taught you how to count
I say they tought you how to buy and sell your own body by the pound

I think you like to be their simple toy
I think you love to play the clown
I think you are blind to the fact that the hand you hold is the hand that holds you down

You do what you do
Yeah you say what you say
You always try to be everything to everyone

You know all the right people
You play all the right games
You always try to be everything to everyone

Spin around and fall down
Do it again
Yeah you stumble and you fall
Yeah why don't you ever learn

Spin around and fall down
Do it again
Yeah you stumble and you you fall
I wonder if you will ever learn

Yeah why won't you ever learn
Come on now, do that stupid dance for me

(Come on, come on, dance for me)

You do what they tell you to do
Say what they say
You try to be everything to everyone

Yeah you jump through the big hoop
You play all the right games
You try to be everything to everyone

Spin around and fall down
Do it again
You stumble and you fall
Yeah you do it again

Spin around and fall down
Do it again
You stumble and you fall

This song is about doing anything to fit in. Art makes it sound like he is talking exclusively about a girl, but he is talking about everyone.

*Meh* This song seems to be about ME. ONly no Translated as you all seem to think. It's about a small, attention deprived girl, who cant get what she needs. Not from home atleast. She puts her self in situations that make her look bad and she doesnt seem to care. She is getting the desired attention and thats all that matters.

I think this was everyones first favorite Everclear song on SMFTA. I know it was mine. I think the reason is, is that we can relate it to so many people or even ourselves. To me its basically about someone who is...well Everything to Everyone :P

It's about my ex-girlfreind. Really messed up girl, lots of problems, but when you take a look at them, they are all self-induced. But that's just the way she was raised. She'll never change just like so many attention seekers out there won't.

And before someone posts it, yea I'm kinda bitter that we broke up now lol. :)

Good song though

If you aren't yourself, you'll never be happy... Try not to please anyone but yourself... So just be happy with who you are... like this Happy Pirate <)P-)

Actually, this song is about his older brother who died when art was about 12 or so. His brother did everything he could to please everyone around him.

no on eshould have to change themselves to fit in ...in my opinion fitting in sucks why would you want to be just like everyone else? being yourself is much cooler and it makes you a lot happier too. soo be yourself and be happy:)

i think the begining of this song reminds me of myself. "You put yourself in stupid places,Yes I think you know it's true,Situations where it's easy to look down on you,I think you like to be the victim,I think you like to be in pain,I think you make yourself a victim almost every single day,You do what you do,You say what you say,You try to be everything to everyone." i was never trying to fit in though. its just ive been through alotta stuff and when i tell one of my best guy friends he kinda gets annoyed sometimes that im trying to get ppl to feel sorrie for me. but im reallie just trying to explain why i am what i am, and why i have certain beliefs or stand for certain things. somedays i let things bug me so much that it seems like i want to be annoyed. and somedays i try so hard to please ppl. not change to fit in. just to be nice and helpful to them. and otherdays i find myself not caring about what everyone else thinks.

The song is about two kinds of people that are "everything to everyone". The first kind are the ones that always make themselves the victims, in order to get attention, to make themselves "everything to everyone". The other kind is the opposite. These are the kinds of people, usually with large egos, who attempt to exert some kind of superiority in things, to make themselves feel like they are big people, so that they are "everything to everyone". Kinda like that macho bullshit.

to me he's singing about a person who has been told she was worthless since she was born, so now she can't help but to feel comfortable in situations where she feels small, stupid an victimized.

I think hes singing about a girl, he used to date, that left him so that she would look good for other people. Then she got caught up in trouble, and started "selling her body by the pound"

This is one of my favorite Everclear songs, but it's also depressing to me because it reminds me of the person that I'm trying not to be. Some one who tries to change themselves to fit some one elses ideals. I've known a lot of people like this, I think we all have, even our selves.

i dont think its only about someone trying to fit in, i think its also about those people who put themselves into situations where people feel bad for them. i think thats why he said "you put yourself in stupid places ...in situations where its easy to look down on you. i think you like to be the victim" etc.

This song is about a person who tries so hard to be perfect in every way. They try so hard to be that one perfect person and to do everything just right. While all along, they don't realize that it's nearly impossible to please everyone.

To me, the person he describes comes off as one of those very goody-goody types who are slowly starting to break at the will of everyone else's expectations. And they slowly begin to realize that the perfect they try so hard to be is near impossible to reach.

just my take on it, i could be wrong.

this song is about a perfectionist. this person trys to do everything right and help everyone so much, that he forgets to take care of his own needs.

to me this song is about how bad it is to be preppy. Basically preps care way too much about what people think about them, and try to be loved by everyone. Art says this is stupid.
