Raison d'être
Human Kitten Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
about bands I like
for fear of seeming
That I am appealing
to a fanbase that I
would like to belong to
Would like to report to
And at the end of the day
I was playing a dirty
game
Thats not me I dont really care
What you think
Fuck you, fuck you, fuck you, fuck you
No fuck me
I'm sorry its just the mood swing
Its taking years and years
of
The bond of my brain dont
quite work properly
And im sorry for everyone and everything
For my disability
And doing normal people things like talk
On the phone or go outside
Or maintain friendships
Or get a job
Or maintain a simple tast to be
Alive
And in the context of society
I am coming to terms with the
Fact that I, the fact that I
Just might be worth
Nothing
