about

'Perks of Being a Nobody' is about being so stressed out with your family, friends, and hometown that you just want out. You hate yourself and everything there is to where you are mentally and physically.

lyrics

Ever since I was a kid, I’ve been a nobody
Everyone always looked down on me
I was called a “lost cause,” by everyone that surrounded me
Even by my own family
I guess that it was true
That’s why I had to leave this town, and never turn my back around
I’m fed up with this faulty scene
But it seems like I don’t have a voice, can’t even make my own damn choice

So dear mom, dear mom, dear mom, I apologize
I thought that I could be myself in this world that clouds me with doubt
It turns out, no one cares
So, I guess that’s the perk of being a nobody

Chemically imbalanced head
Sometimes I think it’s better off if I was just laying here dead
Shaking hands, and I’m paranoid
I guess that there is nothing left to fill my nonexistent void
Hopeless case and a lost cause
I’m surprised you’ve stuck around with m, even when I’m a nobody
Fucked up and fooled around
I’m sorry that I hit the ground, but not sorry for hating you

So dear mom, dear mom, dear mom, I apologize
I thought that I could be myself in this world that clouds me with doubt
It turns out, no one cares
So, I guess that’s the perk of being a nobody

Dear mom, dear mom, dear mom, I apologize (I’m sorry)
I thought that I could be myself in this world that clouds me with doubt
It turns out, no one cares (I’m a nobody)
So, I guess that’s the perk of being a nobody
