After a long hiatus, which included musical endeavors involving bands and live music, he has returned to the forefront of music that gets ignored by the mass majority of music listeners with shiny new software and a meager collection of music of which to steal instrument samples and vocal clips. His Last.fm library is a true testament to mediocrity, drowning in a sea of shit eaters.
Starting at "Core Dump", you can see the progression from his angry youth to "Fuck Your Stereo", which was his first true attempt at quote/unquote/more quotes "dance music". From that moment on, the evolution of sound coming from each new album has begun to show tale-tell signs of "not sucking that bad".
If history has told us anything, Metro I.D. will most likely follow similar artists and eventually fade into the grey matter of history and this Last.fm page will be his metaphorical tomb that teenagers in the future will break into and defile his place of resting with their underage drinking, premarital sex, and "rock and roll" music.

Hey Hey
Metro I.D. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
About what they'll think of her dress and wondering if she'll do her best
It's my first day of school and I'm looking a mess
But I don't care what they think and she's looking at me
I say hey what's your name
I say hey I say hey
It's the first week of school and she's doing her best
But she doesn't really fit in with the rest and
It's the first week of school and I failed my first test
But I know I’ll ace the rest and
I can’t wait for this to end
So here comes lunch and she’s sitting all alone
And her face is buried in her phone
That's just not okay
I say hey hows your day
I say hey I say hey
It's been a while since then and she's feeling a mess worrying
About what I'll think of her dress and she knows it'll be okay
It's been a while since then and I’m feeling a mess but I know I’ll love her dress
I've been waiting for this day
So here she comes and she's beautiful aways from the girl on her phone
And I know what to say
I say hey hope you like my last name
I say hey I say hey
The song "Hey Hey" by Metro I.D. tells the story of two people, one girl and one boy, who are going through the ups and downs of their first days and weeks in school. The girl is worried about what others think of her and is struggling to fit in, even resorting to burying herself in her phone during lunch. The boy, on the other hand, doesn't care about what others think of him and manages to make a connection with the girl when he introduces himself and asks for her name. Over time, they both go through challenges, with the girl feeling like she doesn't fit in and the boy failing his first test, but ultimately, they both triumph and end up feeling confident and self-assured. By the end of the song, they meet again, and the boy compliments the girl's dress, suggesting that they have grown and changed since they first met.
