Not So Average
V.Rose Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Who made up the rules of who ya gotta be?
Picture perfect everything so magazine
I mean, I'm stuck in a world where I cant just be me.
So what if my nail polish always chips?
So what if I prefer to wear my kicks?
Ya know,
Models aren't really models when their not modeling
Why don't you tell me something?
Cause what I'm really wondering,
Is how long do you expect to be following
Trying to be a star like them?
It's not the way your going to win,
Always trying to fit in
So I'm thinking eh eh eh,
It doesn't matter watcha say eh eh
We goin do it God's way eh eh
Cuz I'm just your average,
Not so average eh eh eh
So tell em it's okay eh eh
And you know what to say eh eh
I'm just your average, not so average eh eh eh eh eh eh eh eh
I'm just your average, not so average girl
So what if I don't got everything they have?
I'm the prettiest, you can ask my dad. (go ask him)
Cause I'm not gunna spend my life chasin that,
So what if I'm not a cheerleader,
And so what if you don't even like my band (so what?)
I'm gunna be happy with whose I am
So let me tell you something,
Your more beautiful than them,
Cause who you have inside of you is part of Him,
And trying a star like them,
It's not the way you're going to win,
Stop trying to fit in
So now I'm thinkin eh eh eh
It doesn't matter what you say eh eh
We goin do it God's way eh eh
I'm just your average,
Not so average eh eh eh
So tell em it's okay eh eh
And we know what to say eh eh
I'm just your average,
Not so average girl
*instrumental*
I'm just your average,
Not so average ehh
The only way to shine like a star,
Is to realize whose you are.
You were created to go far.
It really doesn't matter what you like,




If you have Jesus on the inside,
He's everything that you need in your life, eh eh eh eh!

Overall Meaning

V.Rose's song "Not So Average" is an anthem for anyone who's ever felt like they don't quite fit in. She starts by questioning the societal norms that dictate who we're supposed to be: "Who made up the rules of who ya gotta be? Picture perfect everything so magazine." She admits that she feels trapped in a world where she can't just be herself: "I mean, I'm stuck in a world where I can't just be me."


But then she begins to challenge those norms, and encourages others to do the same. She points out that it's okay to have flaws and quirks: "So what if my nail polish always chips? So what if I prefer to wear my kicks?" She also reminds us that celebrities and models aren't necessarily as perfect as they seem: "Models aren't really models when they're not modeling."

You know, models aren't really models when they're not modeling
Why don't you tell me something
Cuz what I'm really wondering

Trying to be a star like them
It's not the way you're gonna win, always trying to fit in
So I'm takin ay, ay, ay cuz no matter what you say, ay, ay
We goin do it God's way, ay, ay
Cuz I'm just your average, not-so-average
Ay, ay, ay, so tell em it's okay, ay, ay
You know what to say, ay, ay
I'm just your average, not-so-average girl
I'm just your average, no-so-average girl
So what if I don't got everything they have

So let me tell you something
You're more beautiful than them (than them)
Cuz who you have inside of you is part of Him
And trying to be a star like them

Stop trying to fit in
Now we're takin ay, ay, ay, it doesn't matter what you say, ay, ay
