They say watch and learn
Who can hustle hardest
Who can shout the loudest
I try to watch and learn
Guess I've been lacking
Never liked to practice
So
Do I gotta change
Just To make a change
To Evolve my game
or evaporate?
In the first verse, it talks about trying to stand out and not conforming to society just to fit in. However, the singer (character)watches by and tries to do the same "I try to watch and learn" and somewhat fit in, whilst trying to be himself.
Or do I follow my own
Put my blindfold on
Run the marathon
Try to prove them wrong
Tell me what if there never was a truth
And everybody just guessing what to do
And makin it is just different points of view
Guess I'm
Trying to keep
Trying to keep my balance
Here the singer is questioning what to do. He sees people conforming and copying each other out of fear but is also doubting whether it is worth the risk because they are trying to stick to the status quo.
So I walk the tight rope
trying to be who I want, trying to keep the lights on
Do I gotta change,
just to make some change,
To assimilate, or evaporate?
Or do I follow my own
Put my blindfold on
Run the marathon
Try to prove them wrong
Tell me what if there never was a truth
And everybody just guessing what to do
And makin it is just different points of view
Guess I'm
Trying to keep
Trying to keep my balance
From looking at the lyrics, I think that our idea can be based around breaking the norm. This can easily be orchestrated as we can show difference in costume, for example, everyone can wear one plain, singular colour, something dull like white or grey whilst the singer in the promo could wear a bright colour. A video that has a similar sort of idea is The 99 Souls video for 'The Girl is Mine'. In this video, everyone is seen to be living like in reverse/walking backwards whereas one main character lives normally and finds help to follow the social norm. He meets a girl just like him when in the treatment centre and they leave together to live their lives as they see as their normality. I think this is something we could embed into our own video.
