Bored
PRETTY AWKWARD Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Got scars that you canβt see at all
I break the rules just for fun
That sounds so ridiculous
I get bored when my ADD kicked in
I feel fine I just want to get lifted
Donβt ask why I donβt wanna try and fix this Cause I get bored with my ADD kicked in
I where a smile when Iβm lost
Heard what you said but forgot
Take it or leave if you like
Wonβt remember cause Iβm high
I get bored when my ADD kicked in
I feel fine I just want to get lifted
Donβt ask why I donβt wanna try and fix this
Cause I get bored with my ADD kicked in
Emotional roller coaster
Wake me up when itβs over
Canβt count on me to be sober
I get fucked up just for closure
I get bored when my ADD kicked in
The lyrics to Pretty Awkward's song "Bored" describe the singer's experience with attention deficit disorder (ADD) and how it affects their demeanor and perception of the world. The first verse sets the tone by expressing the singer's tendency to find humor in their mistakes and hide their emotional scars. They also mention their inclination to break rules for the sake of fun, acknowledging the ridiculousness of their actions.
The chorus reflects the singer's boredom when their ADD becomes prominent. This boredom pushes them to seek a high, whether it be through substance use or any other means, as a way to escape the mundane and monotonous feelings caused by their attention deficit disorder. They make it clear that they don't want to try and fix this situation, which implies a desire to embrace their condition and find stimulation in unconventional ways.
The second verse continues to illustrate the singer's carefree attitude and their tendency to wear a smile even when they are lost or not fully present. They admit to not remembering what others say to them because they are often high or in an altered state of mind. This could be seen as a coping mechanism or a way to disconnect from their ADD symptoms temporarily.
The bridge suggests that the singer's experience with ADD is like an emotional roller coaster, where they feel the need to be awakened from their heightened and tumultuous emotions. The lyrics express an inability to rely on the singer to be sober or emotionally stable, suggesting a reliance on getting "fucked up" for closure or a sense of resolution.
Overall, "Bored" by Pretty Awkward seems to capture the singer's struggle with ADD and their search for excitement and relief from the feelings of boredom that the disorder often brings.
