Ordinaryish People Lyrics

Your happy friends call you depressing
'Cause you wonder why we're all alive
Your downer friends think you're too happy, too happy
'Cause you still celebrate sometimes

Your hippie friends call you a sellout
'Cause you buckled down and get a job
You still get high, but you're no hippie, no hippie
But all your work friends think you are

I guess the last time you had any fun
Was way back when you weren't anyone

So goodbye, ordinaryish people
We had quite the run, didn't we though?
But you gotta be somebody sometimes
I don't wanna pack up and leave though
When you're nobody, then nobody minds

Your pretty friends, they call you ugly
Your ugly friends, they call you vain
'No, you're not stupid, you're just special, special'
Well, that's what all your smart friends say

I guess the last time you had any fun
(Oh, the last time you had any fun)
Was way back when you weren't anyone
(Way back when you weren't anyone)

So goodbye, ordinaryish people
We had quite the run, didn't we though?
But you gotta be somebody sometimes
I don't wanna pack up and leave though
When you're nobody, then nobody minds

"Your attention, please"
"Please, please, yell if you're paying attention"

"Engaging"

I don't wanna pack up and leave though
When you're nobody, then nobody minds

What is the Meaning of Ordinaryish People?

In this riveting piece, the artists delve into the complexities of societal norms and expectations. The lyrics depict a protagonist caught between different social circles, each with their own set of standards. It's a commentary on how society tends to box people into categories and labels, often leading to feelings of not fitting in anywhere. The song explores the paradoxical nature of trying to be "somebody" while also longing for the freedom that comes with being "nobody." It's a poignant reminder that we are all multi-faceted beings who cannot be defined by one-dimensional labels. The track is an anthem for those who feel misunderstood or out of place, encouraging them to embrace their unique individuality amidst societal pressures.
