Pass Me By
Boys of Fall Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's funny watching how the time has changed so fast, i can't even remember.
It's crazy seeing all the friends you thought you had.
I thought loyalty was forever.
Time is moving way too fast for me and I know (I know).
It's hard to see how much I've changed with every year, with every day.
And the respect I thought I had, so insincere, but that's all dead.
I'll never be what you want from me.
It's my choice and I'm gonna live my life.
And I'll show just how wrong your words can be.
And I know "I'm not good enough."
All the words that they say, it's alright.
But I won't ever let it hold me back.
You'll stay where you are.
Out of sight and out of mind.
So go on, say your worst now.
Live a lie cause' its all you got.
And I won't ever let it hold me back.
You'll stay where you are.
Out of sight and out of mind.
It's crazy seeing how far we've came in such short time.
It's all worth it.
And all the pull you thought you had, with every line.
It's all worthless.
We don't need you.
You can watch the line we're pushing.
We don't need you.
We'll prove ourselves and we owe you nothing.
I'll never be what you want from me.
It's my choice and I'm gonna live my life.
And I'll show just how wrong your words can be.
Out of sight and out of mind.
I won't watch the world go and pass me by.
I won't stop until you see my name in lights.
I can promise, the world is ours.
Nothing's stopping us.
We made it this far.
Let's turn the page.
The song "Pass Me By" by Boys of Fall is an anthem about growth and overcoming negative influences. The lyrics begin by acknowledging how quickly time can pass and how drastically things can change in a short period. It expresses frustration at the realization that some of the friendships once thought to be permanent were not as true as originally believed. The song then acknowledges the insecurities that come from the negative words spoken by others, but ultimately decides that those voices will not hold them back. The chorus is a reaffirmation of the decision to live life on their own terms, as they will not let others dictate their path. The song ends with a declaration that success is possible, and that they will not stop until they achieve their goals.
The first verse emphasizes the importance of loyalty in relationships, especially among friends. However, the lyrics show that loyalty is not always reciprocal or everlasting. The second verse speaks to the power of negativity and how it can influence one's self-perception. The subject of the song acknowledges the idea that they are not good enough, but refuses to let that belief hold them back. The chorus brings the sentiment to a head, as the subject takes full control of their own destiny and defies the expectations of others. The song ends with the idea that success is possible and that it is up to them to make it happen.
