Texas boy Cameron (born February 15, 1990) is a natural musician with natural talents, and hasn’t taken any classes to hone his skills. He’s an artist in his own right, and doesn’t care who is judging him as long as he’s being himself. “When I sing or when I perform, or when I do a funky dance, I’m not technical, I’m not trained, but you know, I’m not afraid to look like a fool every now and then,” he admits, before busting out the ‘Stanky Leg.’ He adds, “I consider myself a pretty big nerd, and that’s something that I embrace whether it’s my style or my songwriting.”
In addition to his talents, Cameron has certainly honed his hipster/nerd chic style, but it’s passion that almost guided him to the finish line when he competed against 11 others for a running role in ‘Glee’ Season 3. “I feel like my confidence is what gives me an edge, it’s my passion for the music,” Cameron says. “Living out loud to me is truly being yourself, just being who you are. What sets you apart when odds are against you is personality."

Cameron Mitchell Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You don't know how lovely you are
I had to find you, tell you i need you
Tell you i set you apart
Tell me your secrets, and ask me your questions
Oh let's go back to the start
Running in circles, comming up tails
Heads on a silence apart
Nobody said it was easy
Oh, it's such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy
No one ever said it would be this hard
Oh take me back to the start
Uhhh...
Well, i was just guessing at numbers and figures
Pulling the puzzles apart.
Questions of science, science and progress
Do not speak as loud as my heart.
Tell me you love me, come back and haunt me,
Oh, when i rush to the start
Running in circles, chasing in tails
Coming back as we are!
Nobody said it was easy
Oh, it's such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy.
No one ever said it would be so hard
I'm going back to the start.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh...
The song "The Scientist" by Cameron Mitchell is a beautiful and haunting ballad that tells the story of a lover who realizes that he has made a mistake and is desperately trying to win back his partner. The song begins with the singer apologizing and telling his partner how lovely she is. He then confesses that he needs her and has set her apart from everyone else. He wants her to open up to him and ask him anything that she wants to know. He wants to go back to the start and start fresh. However, despite all his efforts, the two seem to be stuck in a cycle of running in circles and chasing each other's tails.
The chorus of the song emphasizes the difficulty and pain of breaking up. The singer laments how no one ever said it would be so hard and wishes he could go back to the start. In the second verse, the singer admits that he doesn't have all the answers and that he's just guessing at numbers and figures. He's more concerned with matters of the heart than matters of science, progress, and logic. He pleads with his lover to tell him that she loves him and come back to him, even if it means haunting him. The song ends with the singer resigning himself to going back to the start, hoping for a second chance.
