about

THIS SONG IS ABOUT BEING ANTISOCIAL AND NOT FEELING THE LEAST BIT INCLINED TO TALK TO PEOPLE AT UNI. IT'S NOT ABOUT BEING A DICK TO THEM, IT'S JUST THAT I'D RATHER SIT LISTENING TO MUSIC ON MY OWN THAN HAVE ANOTHER CONVERSATION ABOUT THE WEATHER WITH SOMEONE WHO I HAVE NOTHING IN COMMON WITH.

lyrics

Headphones on, music blaring.
Things I see, my thoughts are racing,
In my bubble, in my head.
Tap on the shoulder, heart stops dead.
Are they friendly, are they foe,
Is it someone that I know?
Can I tell them to fuck off,
for breaking inner-monologue?

Awkward speech breaks awkward silence,
'Round and 'round I see the circuit,
Digging for a useless fact,
Maybe now I'll see you laugh,
I cant say it really matters,
Once it’s gone we'll both forget it.

I swear its not I think I'm better,
I just don't get the social standard,
Of filling space with useless noise,
A mirror to the gaping void,
That exists between our lives.
I'm anti-social, big surprise.

I don't want to hear your small talk,
I'd prefer it if there's no talk.
Because you don't have shit to say,
You seem to say it anyway.
So if you see me sit alone,
Don't even feel the need to come and moan,
On subjects of no consequence,
It's no big deal, we're just not friends!
