Olly oxen free
From all the drones
And the pay's not cheap
But you're not looking

I'm visibly invisible
(As if I have a good time)
Doing a performance
Yeah I'm still out here

(As if I have a good time)
Living out my best life
All alone

The lyrics of Danny Denial's song "I'm not your type" delve into themes of self-worth, defiance, and independence. The repetitive refrain of "I'm not your type" serves as a declaration of autonomy and a refusal to conform to others' expectations or desires. The singer rejects the notion of being defined or limited by someone else's standards, asserting that they are not looking for validation or approval from others. This defiance is further emphasized by the repeated statements of "Not tonight" and "I'm not waiting for anyone," indicating a firm stance against being controlled or manipulated.
The lyrics also touch on the fleeting nature of romantic gestures and empty declarations of love. The singer acknowledges that words of affection are not enough to validate their worth or make them feel desired. This rejection of insincere expressions of love is encapsulated in the line "You say you love me, but you don't remember the next time," highlighting the superficiality of the relationship and the lack of true emotional connection.
At the same time, the lyrics reveal a sense of self-assuredness and inner strength. Despite the dismissive attitude towards external validation, the singer confidently asserts their own self-worth, stating repeatedly "I know I'm worth it." This self-affirmation serves as a powerful reminder of their resilience and determination to stand firm in their own value, regardless of others' perceptions or opinions.
Overall, "I'm not your type" is a defiant anthem of self-empowerment and independence. It reflects a refusal to be defined by societal expectations or romantic interests, instead prioritizing self-acceptance, autonomy, and inner validation. Through its bold and assertive lyrics, the song celebrates the singer's strength and conviction in their own worth, urging listeners to reject toxic relationships and embrace their true selves unapologetically.

I just discovered "Dark Smith" yesterday on KEXP and I just can't stop listening. Especially you Danny - it's like all the good stuff I experienced in the 80s, when I was young, is back on screen (screen for me, as I am from Germany, I wish I could get your vibes live once), the deep lyrics, the vibes, the video creation, your extraordinary voice...perfect. There is finally hope for future music with artists like you. I am in awe! <3
