Outcasts
Palisades Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What you feel is fake what you feel is fake
My mind makes up so many problems
Just get over it
You just don't get it cause my past is haunting
And I'm obsessed with all kinds of ugly
Looked down on by society
Does anyone get me
To be heard is all that I want
Like a message in a bottle
Will I ever be caught?
When is it enough
Whoa
What's wrong with me?
Am I overreacting?
No-oh there has to be
A consequence for me
It's a fact that I'm going crazy
Searching for solitude just to getaway
Do we deserve to live this way?
Constantly ridiculed by those that say
We are the outcasts
'Cause we, we are the outcasts (yeah!)
Whoa
What's wrong with me?
Am I overreacting?
No-oh there has to be
A consequence for me
And I'm afraid that I just won't fit in
It's a battle that I've always had within
No-oh there has to be
Has to be a consequence for me
Sometimes, I can't help feeling like I'm the one in the wrong
So lost, I can't find my place in this crowded room
But I, I know in the end that I'm not alone
And I, I know in the end I'll find my way back home
Whoa
What's wrong with me?
Am I overreacting?
No-oh there has to be
Has to be a consequence for me
And I'm afraid that I just won't fit in
It's a battle that I've always had within
No-oh there has to be
Has to be a consequence for me
Whoa
(Whoa)
(Whoa)
Whoa
(Whoa)
(Whoa)
The lyrics of Palisades's song "Outcasts" depict the struggle of feeling like an outsider, someone who doesn't fit in and is constantly being pushed to the fringes of society. The singer expresses how they tend to think about the worst possible outcomes, leading them to believe that what they feel is fake, and their mind frequently conjures up problems that don't exist. The constant fear of not being accepted and haunted by their past drives them to seek solitude as an escape from reality, questioning whether they deserve to live that way. The constant ridicule by others that see them as outcasts further reinforces their feelings of not belonging.
The chorus reflects the singer's desire for recognition and validation, to be heard and acknowledged for who they are. The fear of not fitting in and the constant battle within is a recurring theme throughout the song, but there's a glimmer of hope towards the end as the singer acknowledges that they're not alone in this struggle and will eventually find their way back home.
Line by Line Meaning
I tend to think about the worst of outcomes
I often have negative thoughts about what could go wrong in a situation
What you feel is fake what you feel is fake
I feel like other people's emotions are not genuine or real
My mind makes up so many problems
I often create problems in my own mind that may not actually exist
Just get over it
I wish it were as simple as just forgetting about my problems
You just don't get it cause my past is haunting
People don't understand me because I'm still affected by my past experiences
And I'm obsessed with all kinds of ugly
I'm fixated on negative or unpleasant things
Looked down on by society
I feel like society sees me as inferior or unworthy
Does anyone get me
I wonder if anyone truly understands me or my struggles
To be heard is all that I want
All I really want is for someone to listen to me and understand my perspective
Like a message in a bottle
My voice feels like it's lost and alone, trying to reach someone who might never hear it
Will I ever be caught?
I wonder if anyone will ever truly listen to me and take me seriously
When is it enough
I don't know how much longer I can continue feeling this way
It's a fact that I'm going crazy
I feel like my thoughts and emotions are driving me insane
Searching for solitude just to getaway
I try to find peace by isolating myself from others
Do we deserve to live this way?
Is it fair that people like me have to struggle so much just to feel accepted?
Constantly ridiculed by those that say
People who don't understand me often make fun of me or belittle my feelings
We are the outcasts
I am part of a group of people who are rejected by society
'Cause we, we are the outcasts (yeah!)
We know that we don't fit in and we're proud of who we are despite that
Am I overreacting?
I'm not sure if my emotions are valid or if I'm making things into a bigger deal than they are
No-oh there has to be
I hope that there's a reason for the way I feel and that it's not all in my head
A consequence for me
I feel like there should be a reason why I'm struggling so much to fit in
And I'm afraid that I just won't fit in
I worry that no matter what I do, I'll never truly belong
It's a battle that I've always had within
Feeling like an outsider is something that's been a part of me for as long as I can remember
Sometimes, I can't help feeling like I'm the one in the wrong
I often blame myself for not being able to fit in or for feeling like an outcast
So lost, I can't find my place in this crowded room
Even when I'm surrounded by people, I still feel alone and like I don't belong
But I, I know in the end that I'm not alone
Despite how I feel, I know that there are others who struggle with the same feelings as me
And I, I know in the end I'll find my way back home
I'm confident that someday I'll find my place and feel like I truly belong
