Such Small Scenes
Lewis Del Mar Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Now I realize
Never felt at home in my hometown
And it's no surprise
'Cause I'm not like you
I know no family
None other than you
See who, who are you to say I'm wrong?
And who, who are you?
You made me strong
Now I got roaches and my roof sinks in
And I've been sleeping on floors with my friends
'Cause I feel better when I don't pretend
So you think that I'm blind
But I promise I'm fine
I'll call you if I cave in
Oh, I'll call you if I cave in, yes
The lyrics to Lewis Del Mar's song Such Small Scenes describe the singer's new life in the city and his past struggles in his hometown. He starts by saying that he feels comfortable in his new surroundings and has finally found a place that he belongs. He contrasts this feeling with his hometown where he never quite felt at home. The line "now I realize" implies that it took him some time to understand this about himself, but he now accepts it as a truth.
The chorus is directed towards someone who has doubted or criticized the singer for leaving his hometown. He tells them that he's not like them and doesn't have the same attachments they do. He acknowledges that this person has made him strong but ultimately, he needs to follow his own path. The following verses highlight the challenges of his new life. He's living in a less than ideal situation with roaches and a sinking roof, but he finds solace in his friendships. He's willing to give up the facade of a perfect life to live authentically.
Overall, the lyrics convey a sense of self-discovery and acceptance. The singer has found a sense of belonging in the city, even if it's not everything he imagined. He's willing to be honest about his struggles and rely on those closest to him. The chorus is a reminder that he's not interested in proving himself to others, but rather living his life on his terms.

Swimming in my new life downtown
Enjoying my new life in the city
Now I realize
Finally understanding
Never felt at home in my hometown
Never felt like I fit in back home
And it's no surprise
This is expected
'Cause I'm not like you
Because I am different than you are
I know no family
I do not have any family
None other than you
No one else but you
So please don't fight me
Please don't argue with me
See who, who are you to say I'm wrong?
Who do you think you are to say I am incorrect?
And who, who are you?
And who are you?
You made me strong
You gave me strength
Now I got roaches and my roof sinks in
Now I have cockroaches and a sinking roof
And I've been sleeping on floors with my friends
I have been sleeping on my friends' floors
'Cause I feel better when I don't pretend
Because pretending makes me feel worse
So you think that I'm blind
You think I can't see what's going on
But I promise I'm fine
But I promise I am okay
I'll call you if I cave in
I'll let you know if I break down
Oh, I'll call you if I cave in, yes
Yes, I will let you know if I break down
