All My Friends Are Nobodies
Zebrahead Lyrics

To all my friends who are just like me
Addressing all those people who are alike and similar to the writer

Another cog in the big machine
A metaphorical reference to people being mere components in a larger system that operates without thought or concern for their well-being

Another victim of the industry
Referring to the oppression of workers in industrial settings who have no say or control over their treatment

It just don't mean nothing to me
The writer does not care about being just another person and feels no particular attachment to their work, life or its meaning

To all the lost who have had enough
Addressing people that are disoriented, disillusioned and tired

To everybody that has given up
Referring to those who have surrendered their fight and given in to the struggle

Life is tough, are you tough enough?
Asking a rhetorical question to the audience to reflect upon their strength and ability to weather hardship

Got a belly full of that pesticide
Metaphorically referencing the toxins one might have consumed, can be drug abuse or consuming unhealthy food items, and the terrible effects that follow

Yeah, ain't it cool? We were born to die
Sarcastically stating the inevitability of death and asking if it is something that is ‘cool’ with the audience

Hallelujah! Chica chica ride
Using words to convey certain emotions that are not necessarily understandable using direct language

Gonna fool ya with them white lines
White lines metaphorically signify deceit and false promises that are hard to resist

To all my friends who've had enough
Referring to people who have gone through challenging circumstances and have become tired of fighting tides

If you should fall, we'll pick you up
Assuring the audience that if they collapse, the writeup and their friends are always here to help them out

To all my friends who are just like me
Reiterating the similarities between the writer and the target audience

Another face, another nobody
Depicts people as just another face in the crowd with no identity or distinctness

Lies are cheap but the truth ain't free
Highlighting the value of the truth and the consequences of lying

To all the ones who aren't good enough
Addressing people who have faced criticism and negative feedback regarding their success or skills

To everybody that don't measure up
Speaking of those who can’t quite meet societal expectations or their own standards

Life is rough, are you rough enough?
Asking the audience if they have the strength and resilience to endure the challenges that come in life

Smoke em if ya got em
Suggesting the audience to indulge in vices or opportunities that one may only have in the present moment

'Cause we're not to be forgotten
Asserting that despite the broader narrative, the writer and the audience are notable and unique

A broke future don't mean our hearts gotta turn rotten
Indicating that the financial troubles of life do not change one's character, and a poor financial situation should not change one's outlook towards others

Our backs tied to a land slide got us crawling
A desolate state where the individuals are struggling to make ends meet and barely able to cope with life's challenges

Callin' out to the lost and the fallen
Appealing to those who feel lost or disheartened and urging them to rise in the support of each other

We'll pick you up
Reinforcing the concept of coming together in facing life and its difficulties and providing support to one another.
