Who's They
Daughtry Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A certain way to fit the mold
Or so they say
But who's they
How can we pretend
To care and bend because we're told
We're not okay
Who's they?
Who's they?
They say we need to be
A certain way to fit the mold
Or so they say
But who's they?
How can we pretend
To care and bend because we're told
We're not okay
Who's they?
Who's they?
Who's they?
We can't go wrong
When we all stand tall
And we sing the same song
We'll find it hard not to get along
We can't go wrong
When we all stand tall
And we sing the same song
We'll find it hard not to get along
We'll find it hard not to sing along
La da da da da da
La da da da da da
La da da da da da
We'll find it hard not to sing along
La da da da da da
La da da da da da
La daaaaaaaaaaa
We'll find it hard not to sing along
La da da da da
La da da da da da
La da da da da da
Da da da da da
We'll find it hard not to sing along
La da da da da da
La da da da da da
Oh
We'll find it hard not to sing along

The lyrics of Daughtry's "Who" tackle the issue of societal pressure and conformity. The song speaks to the idea that society imposes certain expectations, forcing people to fit into molds that may not necessarily align with their personal values or beliefs. The repetitive refrain of "Who's they?" calls into question who exactly gets to dictate what is acceptable or not.
The lyrics further emphasize the idea that people feel compelled to conform in order to fit in or feel accepted by society. They are told how to act, think, and even look, leading to a sense of inadequacy or "not being okay" if they do not meet those expectations. However, the song encourages standing tall and not allowing societal pressure to override individuality. The final verse suggests that when we all stand together and sing the same song, societal pressures lose their power and we find it hard not to get along.
Overall, the lyrics encourage listeners to be true to themselves and resist the pressure to conform, even as society tries to dictate their actions and beliefs. Instead, they should find strength in standing together and embracing their individuality.

They say we need to be
People suggest that it's necessary for us to act and look a certain way
A certain way to fit the mold
We must conform to specific standards to be accepted by society
Or so they say
That's just what the crowd insists
But who's they?
Who are they to dictate what is right and wrong?
How can we pretend
Why should we pretend
To care and bend because we're told
And bow to social pressures?
We're not okay
Why do we have to feel wrong for being our true selves?
Who's they?
Who's forcing us to live a certain way?
We can't go wrong
We can't fail
When we all stand tall
When we uphold our beliefs with strength in our stance
And we sing the same song
And we all share the same unbroken spirit
We'll find it hard not to get along
We'll find it tough not to come together in unity
We'll find it hard not to sing along
It'll be difficult not to join the powerful spirit of the voice
