So Damn Cool
Ugly Kid Joe Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I want to know, where to go if I get scared, and
I want to be, in a place where no one cares, and
I, I, I want to know you!
'Cause you're so damn cool!
Yeah, you're so damn cool!
I want to know if the sun'ss gonna bleach my hair, and
I want to know why life's so unfair and
I want to know you!
Because you're so damn cool!
Yeah, you're so damn cool!
Who knows what I'm feelin' inside of me!
And who knows if I'm feelin' all right!
Who knows what I'm feelin' inside of me
Who knows what is runnin' around in my brain
Now that I'm done and I seen it
And don't think that I'm tryin' to complain
Don't think I'm lyin' 'cause I mean it
N' all you people out there don't look at me to lay
All of your blame 'cause you need me
And you want me to go down
In flames with the rest
But I'm so sick of denyin'
What is runnin' around in my brain
The lyrics to "So Damn Cool" by Ugly Kid Joe centers on the singer's search for a place where he can escape from the chaos and judgmental crowd. He wants to know why people are everywhere, where to go if he gets scared, and wants to be in a place where no one cares. Through these lines, he is expressing his desire to find a place of solace and connect with someone without any superficiality. The lines "I want to know why life's so unfair" shows the singer's pessimistic view of life, where he feels that life is unfair to him.
The chorus of "I, I, I want to know you because you're so damn cool!" is an acknowledgment of someone who the singer feels is cool, someone who is not afraid to be who they are, unfazed by the judgment of others. The line "I want to feel like I'm floating in the air" shows the singer's want to experience the feeling of freedom or relaxation. The song's verses followed by the chorus express the singer's disappointment with the world and its people and his longing to connect with someone who seems to have it all figured out.

In flames with the rest
You want me to fail along with everyone else
But I'm so sick of denyin'
I'm tired of denying the truth
What is runnin' around in my brain
I can't suppress my innermost thoughts anymore
