Not Listening ●
●Papa Roach Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The more I learn, the more I ignore
I'm not listening, not anymore
The more I hear, the more I ignore
No I'm not listening, not anymore, No
'Cause you gotta be bigger, be faster, be stronger
If your gonna survive any longer
The first time might be your last time
Am I a failure if I got nothing to lose
No, I'm not a failure, I got something to prove
I'm not listening, not anymore
The more I learn, the more I ignore
I'm not listening, not anymore
The more I hear, the more I ignore, the more I ignore
'Cause I've lost my innocence
And I'm a stranger, A life changer
I'm a man that's not afraid of danger
I walk my own path, and blaze my own trail
Because I'm not afraid to derail
I won't get in line or be a middle man
So fuck you I'll make my own plan
And I got respect and I don't neglect
The people that I really care to protect
Am I a failure if I got nothing to lose
No, I'm not a failure, I got something to prove
I'm not listening, not anymore
The more I learn, the more I ignore
I'm not listening, not anymore
The more I hear, the more I ignore, the more I ignore
I told you before, won't listen anymore
I told you before, lets settle the score
I told you before, won't listen anymore
I told you before, lets settle the score
If not them then who?
If not now then when?
I'm not listening, not anymore
The more I learn, the more I ignore
I'm not listening, not anymore
The more I hear, the more I ignore, the more I ignore
I told you before, won't listen anymore
I told you before, lets settle the score
I told you before, won't listen anymore
I told you before, lets settle the score
Set it off right now
Blow it up, set it off
Fuck it up, set it off
Blow it up, Blow it up right now
The lyrics to "Not Listening" by Papa Roach depict a sense of rebellion and independence from societal expectations. The singer refuses to listen to anyone or anything anymore because he believes that he has learned enough to make his own decisions. He believes that in order to survive and succeed in life, one has to be bigger, faster, and stronger. He doesn't want to be a failure and therefore seeks to prove himself by walking his own path and blazing his own trail. He is not afraid to derail or go off the beaten path.
The lyrics also suggest that the singer has lost his innocence and has become a life changer, a stranger to the common way of life. He does not fear danger and is not afraid to do things his own way. The singer shows a lack of regard for authority and challenges the status quo by rebelling against the norms of society. He refuses to be a middleman and instead wants to make his own plans. The final lines of the song suggest that the singer wants to take action, to blow things up and set them off. He is ready to take matters into his own hands.

LYRICS
Never made it as a wise man
I couldn't cut it as a poor man stealing
Tired of living like a blind man
I'm sick of sight without a sense of feeling
And this is how you remind me
This is how you remind me
Of what I really am
This is how you remind me
Of what I really am
It's not like you to say sorry
I was waiting on a different story
This time I'm mistaken
For handing you a heart worth breaking
And I've been wrong, I've been down,
Been to the bottom of every bottle
These five words in my head
Scream "are we having fun yet?"
Yeah, yeah, yeah, no, no
Yeah, yeah, yeah, no, no
It's not like you didn't know that
I said I love you and I swear I still do
And it must have been so bad
Cause living with me must have damn near killed you
And this is how, you remind me
Of what I really am
This is how, you remind me
Of what I really am
It's not like you to say sorry
I was waiting on a different story
This time I'm mistaken
For handing you a heart worth breaking
And I've been wrong, I've been down,
Been to the bottom of every bottle
These five words in my head
Scream "are we having fun yet?"
Yeah, yeah, yeah, no, no
Yeah, yeah, yeah, no, no
Yeah, yeah, yeah, no, no
Yeah, yeah, yeah, no, no
Never made it as a wise man
I couldn't cut it as a poor man stealing
And this is how you remind me
This is how you remind me
This is how you remind me
Of what I really am
This is how you remind me
Of what I really am
It's not like you to say sorry
I was waiting on a different story
This time I'm mistaken
For handing you a heart worth breaking
And I've been wrong, I've been down,
Been to the bottom of every bottle
These five words in my head
Scream "are we having fun yet?"
Yeah, yeah, are we having fun yet?
Yeah, yeah, no, no.

@downspiral
It’s more that people say it out of safety, because the internet says so.
