A Different Side Of Me
Allstar Weekend Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If my life switched
With the football team
I'd be praised by my friends
If I was driving a Mercedes Benz
What do I know?
What do I know, oh oh
I wanna be
A rock star
A superhero
Living the dream
Doing the things that
I always wanted
I wanna see
My face on the T.V.
With my picture,
On the cover
For my friends to see
A different side of me
I'm barely five foot eight
No muscle man but I can roller skate
Not the biggest sports fan
But the band drives a mean mini van
What do I know?
What do I know, oh oh
I wanna be
A rock star
A superhero
Living the dream
Doing the things that
I always wanted
I wanna see
My face on the T.V.
With my picture,
On the cover
For my friends to see
A different side of me
I know everything
Is gonna change for me
If I can make it then you'll see
That there's a different side of me
I won't be waiting
For my life to pass ahead of me
So I know you'll see
A different side of me
I wanna be
A rock star
A superhero
Living the dream
Doing the things that
I always wanted
I wanna be
A rock star
A superhero
Living the dream
Doing the things that
I always wanted
I wanna see
My face on the T.V.
With my picture,
On the cover
But you'll never have to wonder
'Cause I'm not like all the others
But my friends will see
A different side of me
A different side of me
A different side of me
A different side of me
A different side of me
The lyrics to Allstar Weekend's song A Different Side Of Me express the desire to be someone different, to live a life that's not one's own. The singer imagines what it would be like to be a football player, driving a Mercedes and being praised by friends. He then goes on to contrast this with his current position in life, as a small man who is not a sports fan but is in a band that drives a mean minivan.
The chorus repeats the desire to be a rock star and a superhero, living the dream and doing the things he's always wanted. He imagines his face on TV and his picture on the cover of a magazine, for his friends to see a different side of him. The song ends on a hopeful note that by pursuing his dream he'll be able to show others a different side of himself.
Overall, the song celebrates the desire to break free from societal expectations and pursue one's passions, even if it means being different. It encourages listeners to embrace their individuality and strive for their dreams.
