Misfits
ÐÄÁéÃɱÎ(Third Eye Blind) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Can you tell me where the green buds grows?
I'd like to say you turned my life around
I lost myself outside again
With the sound running through my head
Drowned out way out in the crowd
And the crowd goes singing
My people are the misfits
The ones that don't fit in
With the smile I know it comes within
I can feel you in the corners laughing when the lighting's low
They say
Tick tick
Tell me where the time goes
Oh life, you know it moves much to slow
Tick tick tell me where the time goes
Those are the ones for me
Those are the ones for me
The misfits, the freaks, the enemy, you and me
Those are the ones for me
Those are the ones for me
The misfits, the freaks, the enemy, you and me
My people are the misfits
I won't let you down
I'm dizzy from whatever we just passed around
I bleed for the moments when we're here
And we're all around
The song "Misfits" by Third Eye Blind is an ode to the people who feel left out or different from society's "norms". The first verse starts off with a fan approaching the band after a show asking where to find marijuana. However, the fan also praises the band for turning his life around, which highlights the impact music can have on people's lives. The second verse describes the singer feeling lost in a crowd, but finding comfort knowing that there are others like him who don't fit in with society's expectations. The chorus repeats the phrase "my people are the misfits", emphasizing that the band and their fans are a community of people who don't conform to societal standards.
The pre-chorus talks about the fleeting nature of time and how life can feel slow or dull, but the chorus brings the focus back to the misfits and how important it is to embrace and celebrate differences instead of trying to fit in. The bridge of the song expresses the singer's dedication to his misfit community, saying he won't let them down and cherishes the moments they have together.
Overall, "Misfits" celebrates the idea of being different and finding a sense of belonging among others who feel the same way. The song encourages people to not be ashamed of who they are and to embrace their unique qualities.

Anything is what she is
Anywhere is where she's from
Anything is what she'll be
Anything as long as it's mine
And the door it opens is the way back in
Or is it the way back out?
Anyplace is where she'll be
Anyplace, she'll see you from
Lies and secrets become your world
Anytime, anywhere she takes me away
And death climbs up the steps one by one
To give you the rose that's been burnt by her son
Point me to the sky above
I can't get there on my own
Walk me to the graveyard
Dig up her bones
I have seen the demon's face
I have heard of her death place
I fall down on my knees in praise of the
Horrible things that took her away
And death climbs up the steps one by one
To give you the rose that's been burnt by her son
Point me to the sky above
I can't get there on my own
Walk me to the graveyard
Dig up her bones
Point me to the sky above
I can't get there on my own
Walk me to the graveyard
Dig up her bones
Bones
