Melancholy
Toby Bradner Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Knowing that
You guys aren't the same
So when I'm gone don't be missin'
Please don't lie
You do not feel my pain
Yes I know that I'm different
Don't point it out
All you know what you are doing
With your lives
I need to be mature
La la la la la
La la la
La la

La la la la
La la la

Why do we have to be so melancholy?
I thought we were friends
My mistake, I'm sorry
I guess people change
They say it's on me
Why do we have to be so melancholy?
So melancholy
So melan
I find it really tough growin'
When everyone
Around me is grown
I'll try to make a decision
When I'm surrounded
I feel so alone
Yes I know that I'm corny
Don't point it out
It makes me vulnerable
Hanging around, it gets boring
My life will always be
"Half full"
La la la la la

Why do we have to be so melancholy?
I thought we were friends
My mistake, I'm sorry
I guess people change
They say it's on me
Why do we have to be so melancholy?
So melancholy
So melan-
Please don't take this personal
But
I feel so alone
You guys say just be versatile
But
I don't feel known
Yes I know that you hate me
I guess it's cause I'm so emotional
And yes I know that I'm different
But I
Feel invisible
Why do we have to
Why do we have to be so melancholy?
So melancholy
So melancholy
Why do we have to be so melancholy?
So melancholy
So melancholy
The song "Melancholy" by Toby Bradner explores the feeling of isolation and disconnection from one's peer group. The singer is struggling to fit in and is uncertain about his place among his friends. He acknowledges that he is different from them and feels insecure when they point it out. He also wishes that they could be more positive and less melancholic, but comes to realize that he cannot control their behavior.
The use of the word "melancholy" throughout the song illustrates the overarching theme of sadness and pessimism. The singer questions why people have to be so down and negative, and wants to break away from this mindset. However, he also seems resigned to the fact that things may not change, and he will continue to feel alone in his journey.
Overall, "Melancholy" is a song about the struggle to find oneself within a group, and the difficulty of feeling different from those around you. It is a song about loneliness and the fear of not being understood or accepted. Through the lyrics, the singer expresses his emotions in a raw and honest way, providing a relatable message for anyone who has ever felt like an outsider.
