Zeph Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I stepped on a needle
You show yours off to everyone
And mine's hidden but deeper
Your friends give you glitter Band-Aids
You don't even need
I guess I don't need them either
But you know I mean
It would be nice to go un-unnoticed
Maybe just for once
It would be nice to go un-unnoticed
Without seeking attention
Send flowers to my funeral
'Cause I know when I die
I'll lie in my coffin and pretend
That I am on your mind
Nice to go un-unnoticed
Nice to go un-unnoticed
Yeah you love all the concern
Your friends give you some more
Do I have to break a bone
To stop being ignored?
Maybe I should fish for it
But I don't have a line
That doesn't make me desperate
Please give me all your time
It would be nice to go un-unnoticed
Maybe just for once
It would be nice to go un-unnoticed
Without seeking attention
Send flowers to my funeral
'Cause I know when I die
I'll lie in my coffin and pretend
That I am on your mind
Nice to go un-unnoticed
Nice to go un-unnoticed
Na na na na (na na na)
Na na na na (na na na)
Nice to go un-unnoticed
Nice to go un-unnoticed
Send flowers to my funeral
'Cause I know when I die
I'll lie in my coffin and pretend
That I am on your mind
It would be nice to go un-unnoticed
Maybe just for once
It would be nice to go un-unnoticed
Without seeking attention
Send flowers to my funeral
'Cause I know when I die
I'll lie in my coffin and pretend
That I am on your mind
Nice to go un-unnoticed
Nice to go un-unnoticed
The song "un-unnoticed" by Zeph talks about someone who feels unseen and ignored despite the struggles they may be facing that are not visible to the eye. The first verse talks about how the person feels like their pain is deeper than a simple paper cut but they keep it hidden. In contrast, others may show off their "glitter Band-Aids" for attention. The chorus emphasizes the desire to go unnoticed without having to seek attention or validation from others. The person even jokes about pretending to be on someone's mind after their passing, just to feel seen for once.
The second verse questions whether it is necessary to be physically hurt for someone to notice them because the person is tired of being ignored. They do not want to resort to desperate measures to receive attention. The final chorus repeats the sentiment of wanting to go unnoticed and ends with the person's longing for acceptance without having to seek it out.
The lyrics highlight the need for society to focus more on understanding and supporting one another instead of just seeking attention or validation for our own struggles. We should not have to experience extreme physical or emotional pain for others to take notice of us. The song is a reminder that sometimes, the ones who suffer the most are the ones who often go unnoticed.
