Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You were aware I was scared
What on earth is your name?
It was only for a second and then you came
I was askin you to change your name
You were impressed that I knew
That you were still in the same game
Over burden that was taken inside your brain
I was a stupid boy, I was a stupid girl
Raised by society to change my ways
Is it fair that you're stuck in the ways
Of your beliefs and your dreams
They go up in the same flames
I was followin' believers inside my brain
You were sleeping on a subway train
You were aware I was there
What on earth is her name?
It was only for a second and then you came
I was a stupid boy, I was a stupid girl
Raised by society to change my ways
Notify next of kin, I will be traveling
Safe from the fallen stars that rain down on me
I don't know if you saw me
But I've changed my ways
Stuck inside another life now
I will try to be
I was a stupid boy, I was a stupid girl
Raised by society to change my ways
Notify next of kin, I will be traveling
Safe from the fallen stars that rain down on me
The lyrics of Blond Ambition's song "Stupid Boy/Girl" is a conversation between two people who seem to have encountered each other by chance while traveling on a subway train. The first verse begins with the singer asleep on the subway train, scared and unaware of their surroundings. They then wake up to see the other person, and both share a brief exchange of words. The singer asks the other person to change their name because they are impressed that they are still in the same game, despite the burden that they carry within their mind.
The second verse shifts the focus to the other person, who is stuck in their beliefs and dreams that are going up in the same flames. The singer admits to following the believers inside their brain but has come to realize that they were a stupid boy/girl raised by society to change their ways. They then notify their next of kin that they will be traveling safe from the fallen stars that rain down on them.
The last verse is a reflection of the singer's change of ways, as they try to be stuck inside another life now. They admit to being a stupid boy/girl raised by society to change their ways and notify their next of kin that they will be traveling safe from the fallen stars that rain down on them.
Overall, the song seems to be a reflection on the societal pressure to conform and the struggle to break free from the mold. The singer and the other person seem to have shared a moment of realization that their beliefs and dreams don't have to go up in the same flames. They acknowledge that they were raised by society to change their ways and that they have to try to be someone different.
