Anticonformity
Krystal Meyers Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's all around, pressure from my so called friends
It's all around, I'm measured by some stupid trend
It's all around, everyone is just like them
It's all around, it's all around, it's all around

So I'm anticonformity
I don't try too hard to be
I'm not what you think you see
Inside, I've made a change
And I'll never be the same, no way

They conform, un-individuality
And they conform, forget about variety
Yeah, they conform, they don't know what they believe
They conform, they conform, they conform

So I'm anticonformity
I don't try too hard to be
I'm not what you think you see
Inside, I've made a change
And I'll never be the same, no way

Image is overrated
If it washes off in the rain
You know, you gotta go deeper
To go against the grain

So I'm anticonformity
I don't try too hard to be
I'm not what you think you see
Inside, I've made a change

Anticonformity
I don't try too hard to be
I'm not what you think you see
Inside, I've made a change
And I'll never be the same

Yeah, I'm anticonformity, anticonformity, anticonformity
I'll never be the same, no way
Anticonformity, anticonformity, anticonformity




Inside, I've made a change
And I can never be the same

Dudes, there's no discussion! This entire song is based off of Romans 12:2-- "Do not CONFORM any longer to the pattern of this world, but be TRANSFORMED by the renewing of your mind! Then, you will be able to test and approve what God's will is- His perfect, and pleasing will." Awesome, right?
