Too Many People
Dev Lemons Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But he acts like we have
He found a spot on the floor
Cause there's nowhere to stand
Oh, I've seen her before
We were in the same class
She found a spot by the door
Ooh
There's too many people standing in my room
There's too many people stepping on my shoes
It's not a bad thing please don't think I'm rude
I'm just not used to people pulling through
Hey
There's too many people sitting on my bed
I'll just go and sit on the windowsill instead
My back kind of hurts but I am not upset
I'm just not used to having so many friends
Dev Lemons's song Too Many People talks about the feeling of being overwhelmed by the amount of people in a small space, but also the joy of having friends around. The lyrics describe two different situations where the singer meets someone for the first time or a person they have seen before, and both are dealing with the same discomfort of being in a cramped space. The first verse depicts the situation where the singer sees a person for the first time, and the person seems to act like they have known each other for a long time. This is followed by how the person finds a spot on the crowded floor because there is nowhere to stand.
The second verse talks about the singer meeting someone they have seen before in the same class. The person is also trying to find a place to stand, and they choose to stand close to the fan. The chorus of the song talks about how there are too many people in the singer's room, and they feel like they are stepping on their shoes. However, the singer is quick to say that it is not a bad thing, and they do not want anyone to think they are rude. They are just not used to having so many people around them.
In the bridge of the song, Dev Lemons sings about how there are too many people sitting on their bed, so they choose to sit on the windowsill instead. This causes their back to hurt, but the singer is not upset because they enjoy having so many friends with them. The overall theme of the song is that while it might be uncomfortable to be in crowded spaces, having friends around makes it worth it.
