hey you
Mission to Felspar Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Don't wanna be the center of attention
Don't even need for you to mention
My name is not important

You are the last pick for everything
You're the broken wing on a non-stop flight
Destination failure

Now that my confidence is failing
No i've lost it all

Hey you in the back of the room
Don't need to keep your distance
Cuz you're not that different

Time is of the essence
Losing it
You're the last addition waiting for a chance
Your gonna make it

Now that my confidence is failing
No i've lost it all

Hey you in the back of the room
Don't need to keep your distance
Cuz you're not that different

Defeat is only temporary
Good things never last
Just stop running away

Maybe now everyone will notice
I've made something of myself
You can't believe

Stop running away

Hey you in the back of the room

Don't need to keep your distance
Cuz you're not that different

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Mission to Felspar's song Hey You tell a story of a person who struggles with their self-confidence and self-worth. The first verse establishes that the singer doesn't want to be the center of attention, indicating that they are perhaps a more introverted person. They don't need recognition, and their name is not important. The second verse shifts the focus to the person addressed in the song, who is described as the last pick for everything and the broken wing on a non-stop flight, destination failure. This person doesn't seem to have much luck or success in their life.

The chorus connects the two verses and brings a sense of understanding and empathy. The person in the back of the room, who is not that different from the singer, is encouraged to come closer and not keep their distance. It's clear that the singer sees their own struggles reflected in this person, who is also fighting against defeat and the negative forces that seem to be against them. However, the song ends on a hopeful note. Ultimately, the message is that defeat is only temporary, and good things never last. If one can stop running away and make something of themselves, others will finally take notice.
