Best friends
HOLYCHILD Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Begging me to be the better or the best of
But I'd like to think it doesn't really matter
So let's drop it cause it doesn't really matter
Maybe I'll defy and it will fade out
Growing pale when no contrast can be made out
But I'd like to think it doesn't really matter
I have the best friends
Oh, watch my best friends
We'll never say the things they do
I have the best friends
We can't be boxed in
I'd rather flee than follow suit
Time will never let me take it back there
We can run cause you know that I will not care
Every action points to life beyond the reform
Maybe someday they'll forget about the before
All I want is just to spread all of the best love
Make you happy, make you realize you're the best of
Make you strong enough to do it for the reform
You know someday they'll forget about the before
I have the best friends
Oh, watch my best friends
We'll never say the things they do
I have the best friends
We can't be boxed in
I'd rather flee than follow suit
I have the best friends
Oh, watch my best friends
We'll never say the things they do
I have the best friends
We can't be boxed in
I'd rather flee than follow suit
The lyrics to HOLYCHILD's "Best Friends" speak about self-acceptance and the value of true friendships. The first two lines of the first verse talk about the pressure of society and the need to be the best, but the singer chooses to ignore it. They believe it doesn't matter and the focus should be on the present moment. The following lines discuss the possibility of defying societal norms, and again, the singer emphasizes that it's not about what others think. The chorus emphasizes the importance of having the best friends who will not judge, box in, or follow others blindly. They treasure their friendships and are willing to ignore anything to protect it.
In the second verse, the singer talks about the past and how it cannot be changed. They choose to move forward and not dwell on it. Every action should be focused on life beyond reform. They want to spread positivity and love, so others can also realize their worth. The final lines of the song reassure that someday all the negativity will be forgotten.
The song's message of self-acceptance and the value of true friends is empowering and positive. By choosing not to focus on society's standards and their past, and instead focusing on the present and the support of their friends, the singer is able to find inner strength and happiness.
