Endless Struggle Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You have seen us all here, you've seen us their
Spiky jackets and fucked up hair
I've always seen the way that you glare
Fucked up grins and fucked up glares

so what you want, or what you do
Does your self conscious bother you
About where you've gone, or what you've done

You better learn to turn your head and run

Don't you tell me how to live my live
I live my life for me
Don't you tell me what to do
Just stay away from me

[2x]
Don't you tell me how to live my live
I live my life for me
Don't you tell me what to do
Just stay away from me

You have seen us all here, you've seen us their
Spiky jackets and fucked up hair
I've always seen the way that you glare
Fucked up grins and fucked up glares

I live my life for me
So stay away from me

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Endless Struggle's song "Stay Away" speak to a universal feeling of nonconformity and the desire to be left alone. The song speaks to the experience of living a life outside of society's expectations, characterized by spiky jackets and messed up hair. The singer appears to feel uncomfortable with the attention they receive from those who disapprove of their appearance and lifestyle, describing the way they are stared at with "fucked up glares." The singer questions whether the people around them are bothered by their own self-consciousness or if they feel entitled to judge others.

The chorus echoes the sentiment of the song, as the singer passionately states that they live their life for themselves and do not wish to be told what to do. The repetition of the phrase "just stay away from me" emphasizes the singer's desire to be left alone by those who would judge or attempt to control them. The song is a powerful message to those who would try to fit individuals into societal norms and a reminder that everyone deserves the freedom to live their life as they see fit.
