So Many People
Princessa Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

So many people
Try to be like someone else and
Cover their heroes - their whole life long

So many people
Don't know what they wanna be instead of
Listen to what they feel inside

I just try to be myself
I know that it's the hard way

But in the and it's easier
And I want your respect
I need your respect

So many people - so many sorrows
So many faces - crying in the night
So many peolpe - believe in tomorrow
So many faces - crying in the night

I don't wanna be someone else
I just wanna be whatever I want
I just wanna get whatever I need

I don't want no preconceived notion
I don't wanna stop - I wanna be in motion
no excuses for what I am

I just try to be myself
I know that it's the hard way

But in the and it's easier
And I want your respect
I need your respect

I can not longer hide the pain
Why do all the people wanna be the same
I'm not accountable to anyone
as long as you can soothe you coscience
cause you are the one

So many people - so many sorrows
So many faces - crying in the night

So many peolpe - believe in tomorrow
So many faces - crying in the night

Overall Meaning

The lyrics speak to the pressures people feel to conform to societal norms and follow in the footsteps of their heroes, rather than listening to their own feelings and desires. The song encourages listeners to embrace their uniqueness and to be true to themselves, even if it means taking the hard way. The repeated line "I just try to be myself" emphasizes the importance of authenticity and the idea that being true to oneself is ultimately easier than trying to be someone else.

The lyrics also acknowledge the struggles and sorrows that many people face, including those who feel trapped by society's expectations. However, the song offers hope by suggesting that even in the midst of pain and sadness, there is still reason to believe in tomorrow and to keep pushing forward.
