thank you for coming
Role Model Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
With some kids who used to hate me
'Cause they're the ones who made me
Exactly who I am
Shaking hands
With some girls who never call me
And always made me sorry
For acting who I am
Thank you all for coming
I'd be nothing without you
Don't tell yourself you're sorry
'Cause it's hardly ever true, ooh
Do-do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do-do-do-do
Do-do
Do-do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do-do-do-do
Do-do
Make some noise
For the kids who won't sit next to me
'Cause they're the ones rejecting me
For being who I am
One last dance with the girl who's way too good for me
'Cause somehow it felt good to me
You notice who I am
Sticks and stones may break my bones
But words just make me stronger
I kiss the cheeks of freaks and geeks
'Cause I don't have much longer
On my way to heaven's gate
So please don't try to stop me
Life is tough but I made up with people who forgot me
Thank you all for coming
I'd be nothing without you
(Nothing without you)
Don't tell yourself you're sorry
'Cause it's hardly ever true, ooh
Do-do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do-do-do-do
Do-do
(Nothing without you)
Do-do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do-do-do-do
Do-do
(Nothing without you)
In these lyrics, Role Model expresses gratitude towards various individuals who have played a significant role in shaping his identity and journey. He starts by acknowledging the friends who initially disliked him but ended up molding him into the person he is today. This suggests that through their criticism and rejection, they unintentionally pushed him to grow and develop.
The next set of lines refers to the girls he interacted with. They never reached out to him, yet they made him constantly feel sorry for just being himself. This could imply that he encountered judgment and rejection from these girls, but it ultimately helped him understand and accept his true self, despite their disapproval.
The repetitive chorus, "Thank you all for coming, I'd be nothing without you," highlights the importance of these people's presence in his life. He acknowledges that without their influence, he would not have become who he is today. He urges them not to apologize for their previous actions, as he recognizes that their impact on his life was more significant than they might believe.
In the second verse, Role Model encourages his audience to make some noise for those who reject and exclude him because their actions have also contributed to his growth. By embracing his true self in the face of their rejection, he has been able to develop a stronger sense of identity. He also reminisces about a dance with a girl he considers to be out of his league. Although he acknowledges her superiority, being with her somehow felt right and aligned with who he is.
The line "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words just make me stronger" emphasizes the resilience he has built as a result of facing verbal attacks. He no longer allows hurtful words to have power over him. Additionally, he mentions embracing and forming connections with those labeled as "freaks and geeks," as they have been overlooked and forgotten. This suggests that he has formed meaningful relationships with individuals who have been marginalized and rejected by society.
The lyrics conclude by repeating the chorus, emphasizing the artist's gratitude for the presence of these people in his life. They have contributed to his personal growth and self-acceptance. The phrase "I'd be nothing without you" reiterates the importance of their influence, suggesting that they have played a significant role in his journey. Overall, the lyrics convey a sense of appreciation for those who have impacted Role Model positively, and a recognition of the strength and resilience that has resulted from his experiences.
Line by Line Meaning
I made friends
I formed connections with others
With some kids who used to hate me
With individuals who once despised me
'Cause they're the ones who made me
Because they are the ones who shaped my identity
Exactly who I am
Precisely the person I have become
Shaking hands
Engaging with others in a friendly manner
With some girls who never call me
With girls who never reach out to me
And always made me sorry
And consistently made me feel remorseful
For acting who I am
For expressing my true self
Thank you all for coming
Expressing gratitude to everyone present
I'd be nothing without you
I would lack significance or value without your presence
Don't tell yourself you're sorry
Avoid blaming yourself
'Cause it's hardly ever true, ooh
Because it is seldom the reality
Make some noise
Produce a loud and lively reaction
For the kids who won't sit next to me
Applauding those who refuse to be near me
'Cause they're the ones rejecting me
As they are the ones refusing my presence
For being who I am
For embracing my true identity
One last dance with the girl who's way too good for me
Having a final dance with a girl who surpasses my worth
'Cause somehow it felt good to me
Because in some way, it brought me joy
You notice who I am
You recognize my true nature
Sticks and stones may break my bones
Physical harm may hurt me
But words just make me stronger
However, words have the power to empower me
I kiss the cheeks of freaks and geeks
I show affection to those strange or socially marginalized
'Cause I don't have much longer
Because my time is limited
On my way to heaven's gate
Heading towards the entrance of paradise
So please don't try to stop me
Therefore, do not attempt to hinder my progress
Life is tough but I made up with people who forgot me
Life is challenging, but I reconciled with those who had forgotten me
Thank you all for coming
Expressing gratitude to everyone present
I'd be nothing without you
I would lack significance or value without your presence
(Nothing without you)
(I am completely dependent on you)
Don't tell yourself you're sorry
Avoid blaming yourself
'Cause it's hardly ever true, ooh
Because it is seldom the reality
