The Same Kind Of Different

Alex N.O.S

This one looks at the crowd first. Everybody wants to be different, and that is exactly what makes them look alike, talk alike, think alike. Opinions get passed around until nobody remembers what they actually like.

Even being yourself arrives with instructions now, down to what you should want and what you should hate. Question them and you are the strange one. I stopped needing my life to look right to people who never chose their own.

What stays is quiet. Being myself was never about being louder or easier to see, only about knowing why I think the way I do when nobody agrees. I would rather be misunderstood than one more copy calling itself original.

Lyrics

IntroEverybody wants to be different...
So they dress the same.
Talk the same.
Think the same.
And call it
Being themselves.

Verse 1Same shoes
Same phrases
Same picture from the same angle
Same opinion
Passed around
Until nobody remembers
Who said it first
Everybody wants a voice
But most of them
Borrow one
Everybody wants to stand out
In exactly
The same way
And somewhere in all that noise
They stop asking
What they actually like

ChorusWe became
The same kind of different
Same words
Same clothes
Same borrowed decisions
Everybody wants to be seen
But nobody knows
Who they are
Without the crowd
We became
The same kind of different
Trying so hard
To look original
We forgot
What was ours

Verse 2They tell you
Be yourself
Then show you
What yourself should look like
What to wear
What to want
What to say
What to hate
What to celebrate
And if you question it
They call you strange
Like strange
Wasn't the whole point
I don't care
If my life looks wrong
To people
Who never chose their own

BridgeMaybe being yourself
Isn't louder
Maybe it isn't visible
Maybe it starts
When nobody agrees with you
And you still know
Why you think
What you think
Maybe identity
Is what remains
When the trend moves on
And you don't

Final ChorusWe became
The same kind of different
Same rebellion
Same look
Same approved resistance
Everybody wants freedom
As long as freedom
Looks familiar
We became
The same kind of different
But I don't want
To fit inside
A shape
Made to look unique
I'd rather be misunderstood
Than become
Another copy
Trying to prove
I'm original

OutroEverybody wants to be different...
Good.
Then stop asking
What different
Is supposed
To look like.
