So What
Three Days Grace Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You can say that I'm sick on the inside
Bet you don't know I like it that way
You can say whatever you like
If it's so wrong I don't wanna be right!

So what if I'm crazier than crazy?
So what if I'm sicker than sick?
So what if I'm out of control?
Maybe that's what I like about it
So what?
So what?

You can say that I'm going insane
And I'm not quite right
And that I'm to blame
I don't care you can say what you want to
I am who I am and I'll never be like you
You can say whatever you like
If it's so wrong I don't wanna be right!

So what if I'm crazier than crazy?
So what if I'm sicker than sick?
So what if I'm out of control?
Maybe that's what I like about it
So what?
So what?

And when I'm up
It's better than ever
And when I'm down
I'm desperate
And when I'm up
It's better than ever
And when I'm down
I'm desperate
I'm desperate
I'm desperate

So what if I'm crazier than crazy?
So what if I'm sicker than sick?
So what if I'm out of control?
Maybe that's what I like about it

So what?
So what?

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Three Day Grace's song "So What" express a sense of individualism and acceptance of one's own unconventional traits despite the judgement of others. The lines "So what if I'm crazier than crazy? So what if I'm sicker than sick?" exemplify that the singer is aware of their oddities and finds value in these qualities. Furthermore, the phrase "maybe that's what I like about it" shows that the singer consciously chooses to embrace their differences despite potential criticism from others.

The chorus repeats the line "so what?" in response to the judgement of others. This phrase conveys a carefree attitude towards criticism, as if to say the singer is impervious to what others think of them. The lines "you can say that I'm going insane and I'm not quite right and that I'm to blame" also imply that the singer may have been previously criticized for their unusual behavior, yet they remains self-assured in who they are.

Overall, "So What" is a testament to the importance of staying true to oneself, and paying no heed to negative comments from others. It celebrates the beauty in individuality and the strength that comes with being confident in who you are.

Line by Line Meaning

So what if I'm crazier than crazy?
I don't care if I'm considered mentally unstable or irrational by others.

So what if I'm sicker than sick?
I don't care if I'm viewed as unwell or diseased by others.

So what if I'm out of control?
I don't care if my behavior is seen as chaotic or erratic by others.

Maybe that's what I like about it
In fact, I may actually enjoy behaving in these ways.

You can say that I'm going insane
You're welcome to express your opinion that I'm losing my mind.

And I'm not quite right
And that something is not quite right with me.

And that I'm to blame
And that I'm responsible for this situation.

You can say that I'm sick on the inside
You may feel that my inner state of being is unhealthy.

Bet you don't know I like it that way
But what you don't realize is that I actually enjoy feeling this way.

You can say whatever you like
Feel free to express your opinions and judgments.

If it's so wrong I don't wanna be right!
But if being 'wrong' means being true to myself, then I don't want to change.

And when I'm up
When I'm feeling good or in control,

It's better than ever
I feel even better than I ever have before.

And when I'm down
But when I'm feeling low or struggling,

I'm desperate
I may feel intense anxiety or desperation.

I am who I am and I'll never be like you
I am who I am, and I will never conform to your expectations or standards.

So what?
So what if I don't meet your expectations? That's not my concern.

So what?
Ultimately, I'm content with who I am and how I live, regardless of others' opinions.

* VIETNAM FLASHBACKS * yeah, true, he was amazing when he came to Romainia. To only sad thing about that concert is that I wasn't that much of a TDG fan because I didn't heard many of their songs. The only songs that I knew when I was at this concert were "Just like you", "Drown" and, of course, "I hate everything about you". Anyways it was a killer concert

One of the best from the new album, to me.

@thevengance

9y↑7

Joe Skippers One reviewer named it their least favourite on the album and that it sounded too My Darkest Days. Personally, I don't mind but it's interesting to see the polar opinions on Human. Overall, I don't mind and although I wasn't expecting it to be 100% like TDG when Adam was lead singer, it feels like a throwback to their self titled album.

@danisv12

9y↑4

Evanangel Joe Skippers This album is nothing compared to the others... The album is not bad when you hear the musics with good quality... And they have good songs too... But I couldn't expect more from this album, because matt is getting used to Three Days Grace, and I believe that in the next albums they will sound more like TDG. In this moment Matt is getting used to TDG style and that takes time, so give him time ;)

@SkipperSkipS

9y↑15

What the heck man?
I said from this album it's one of the best. You're acting like I have something against Matt e.e e.e e.e I've been listening to TDG for 7 years, I know all I need to know and even tho Adam is gone I love this band as much as I used to before. Don't make accusations that I have something against Matt e.e

Love this song, and love what Matt has brought to the table. Yes, Adam was and always will be great. But, Matt opened up for many big name bands like Hinder and Nickelback. My Darkest Days were fairly popular too. I think he is a great fit for 3DG. Am proud of him and happy for him. He is now the front man for one of the most popular rock bands in the world. He's living his dream, so give him a break.

The latest album shines whenever they do something different from the old Three Days Grace. Tracks such as Painkiller and Tell Me Why, where Matt tries to be Adam, are painful. But tracks such as this one and Landmine, where they adopt a different approach, are actually worthwhile. They may not be my favorite band anymore, but I'm definitely gonna have my eye out for their next album.

Love this album. So what describes me so well. I have tried to fit in and was not accepted. I have come to terms with being an outsider. Some days it's really horrible when I see people doing things together and I don't understand the point of sharing interests with others and think I'm a nobody who doesn't have tons of friends. But then I go home and turn on the music and cuddle with my bunnies and know that there are those who loves me and that I'm fine as I am.

@devyl3057

4y↑2

Sadly, that phrase (If it's so wrong, I don't wanna be right) has been ruined for me. I was watching Supernatural and Sam and Dean (Keep in mind, they're brothers) ran into a writter that wrote a book series called "Supernatural" and they had to stop him. He (his name his Chuck. He's the writter) like a girl named Becky. She was writting a fanfic of the Supernatural books. It was a fanfic of Sam and Dean likeing each other... Sam said "If it's so wrong, then I don't want to be right..."

And then Sam and Dean saw the paper when they were investigating her room...

Thomas Young Me too! I can handle the repetive, I spelled that wrong, don't mind me, pretty well, but I don't like car crash, because that's seriously the same, it's too much for me. But I agree with you, I like Fallen Angel, So What, I Am Machine, Human Race, Painkiller and Tell Me Why the most.

@MrMan-dy7sg

Thomas Young I Am Machine is not from this album. Also, Human Race, IMO, is their worst song ever.
