Stereotypes
Farrah Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That we stand out from the crowd.
But we want to be accepted,
Don't want to be the odd one out.
When I look around,
It seems so crazy
Everybody leaves it,
It's so lazy
It's so illogical, almost hysterical,
'Cause in the end we're all stereotypes
As individuals, we're invisible
'Cause in the end we're all stereo, stereotypes
Stereotypes
Stereotypes
However much we all deny it,
We can't escape the way we're seen.
Where all you find and we can fight it
But it's the way it has always been.
We're all put in boxes, it's too easy.
Nothing's ever gonna change, believe me.
It's so illogical, almost hysterical,
'Cause in the end we're all stereotypes
As individuals, we're invisible
'Cause in the end we're all stereo, stereotypes
And we all take the easy way out
We're all guilty - the judge and the jury, somehow
Stereo, stereo, stereo... stereotypes
Stereo, stereo, stereo... stereotypes
It's so illogical, almost hysterical,
'Cause in the end we're all stereotypes
As individuals, we're invisible
'Cause in the end we're all stereo, stereotypes
It's so illogical, almost hysterical,
'Cause in the end we're all stereotypes
As individuals, we're invisible
'Cause in the end we're all stereo, stereotypes
Stereotypes
Nothing's ever gonna change, believe me.
Stereotypes Stereo, stereo, stereo... stereotypes
Stereotypes Stereo, stereo, stereo... stereotypes
Farrah's song Stereotypes talks about the phenomenon of societal stereotypes that everyone of us believes in and how we all fall under the category of stereotypes in one way or the other. The lyrics convey a sense of hopelessness and acceptance of being stereotyped despite the fact that everyone wants to be unique and different in their way.
The song begins with Farrah emphasizing the human tendency to stand out from the crowd but also wanting to be accepted at the same time. She observes the laziness of people who tend to follow the existing stereotypes instead of breaking free from them. The chorus reinforces the fact that we all are stereotypes and in the end, nothing's ever gonna change.
Farrah seems to have a somewhat pessimistic view of society and the way it functions. She acknowledges that everyone is put into boxes and fighting it is futile because it's always been that way, hence giving up the fight. The lines "Where all you find and we can fight it, But it's the way it has always been" reinforce this thought. The repetition of the phrase "stereotypes" throughout the song further emphasizes this battle with societal norms.
Overall, the song highlights the issues of conforming to societal norms and the desire for acceptance while being aware of how we're viewed. It encourages listeners to break free from the constructs of stereotypes, but with a subtle acknowledgment of how challenging this task is in reality.
