Don't do love, don't do friends I'm only after success Don't need a relationship I'll never soften my grip Don't want cash, don't want card Want it fast, want it hard Don't need money, don't need fame I just want to make a change I just wanna change, I just wanna change I just wanna change, I just wanna change I just wanna Change! I know exactly what I want and who I wanna to be I know exactly why I walk and talk like a machine I'm now becoming my own self-fulfilled prophecy Oh, oh no, oh no, oh no, oh! One track mind, one track heart If I fail, I'll fall apart Maybe it is all a test 'Cause I feel like I'm the worst, so I always act like I'm the best If you are not very careful Your possessions will possess you TV taught me how to feel Now real life has no appeal It has no appeal, it has no appeal It has no appeal, it has no appeal It has no appeal! I know exactly what I want and who I wanna to be I know exactly why I walk and talk like a machine I'm now becoming my own self-fulfilled prophecy Oh, oh no, oh no, oh no, oh! I know exactly what I want and who I wanna to be I know exactly why I walk and talk like a machine I'm now becoming my own self-fulfilled prophecy Oh, oh no, oh no, oh no, oh! I'm gonna live, I'm gonna fly I'm gonna fail, I'm gonna die I'm gonna live, I'm gonna fly I'm gonna fail, gonna da-da-da-da-die I know exactly what I want and who I wanna be I know exactly why I walk and talk like a machine I'm now becoming my own self-fulfilled prophecy Oh, oh no, oh no, oh no, oh! I know exactly what I want and who I wanna be I know exactly why I walk and talk like a machine I'm now becoming my own self-fulfilled prophecy Oh, oh no, oh no, oh no, oh! Oh, oh no, oh no, oh no, oh!
"Cause I feel like I'm the worst so I always act like I'm the best." People say I have a massive ego and that I'm so smart, which is true. I don't have a big ego. I have little to no self-esteem. I'm smart because I want to be accepted, but instead, I'm cast out
Haha don't worry I feel just like that, the worst things is when you start to fail everyone tends to see that and use it against you... But then again you can always outsmart them :D
What I hate is when I’m separated from everyone else cause “I have potential.” Like when the teacher calls you out, and you make the rest of the class look bad. I hate that.
This song reminds me of a boy that I was in love with. He manipulated me, took advantage, and was controlling. The lyrics remind me of the way he thought of his life. He was so obsessed with popularity and how people viewed him that he pushed away the people who saw for who he really was. And be eventually he forgot himself along the line.
lol yeah, pretending to be someone you’re not is only gonna get you so far. Better to be urself, even if you think you’re not special, you always are to someone 🦟🦗🦟🦗

This feels like my everyday life. I do have friends but, everything else in the lyrics describes me in some way. "I don't do love." I have given up on my love life. I want to be super successful because I feel I'll be worthless otherwise, my main source of willpower is inadequacy. "If I fail I will fall apart," I will die. "I know I'm the worst but I always act like I'm the best," I know how dumb, worthless, depressing, mean, self-centered, immature, and lazy I am yet I act as if I am better than everyone else. "I know exactly who I am and who I want to be," I am a demon, something to be afraid of and something that I can't control, you can choose to take that literally. I want to be a successful show runner, and a person of many talents, and most importantly I want everyone to love me. "I want it fast and I want it hard," I want to be the best I can be as soon as possible and am expecting a certain outcome from that. "Don't need money, don't need fame, I just want to make a change." I don't care about anything except impacting other people's lives in a good way. "Maybe it is all a test," sometimes I think everything is a test to see how far I can go before failing. "Tv taught me how to feel, and now real life has no appeal." I enjoy the wonder in television series and movies, it's far more interesting than real life. I wish my life was like a tv show. "Oh no, I'm now becoming my own self fulfilled prophecy." I am working towards my goals in life getting less emotional and more stressed day by day. "I'm gonna live, I'm gonna fly, I'm gonna fail, I'm gonna die." This one especially speaks to me. I feel as if I keep getting higher and higher the more I do and the more I learn, but with that height comes the fate of falling, it feels like one of those tower rides at carnivals that takes you high in the air and drops you suddenly. I also always try to think positively that one day I will be really happy, but the thought is always in the back of my mind that I'm going to fail and die. Thanks for listening to my Ted Talk.
Its been years since ive discovered this song. I was in 4th grade when i found out about this song. Now im about to be a high schooler and im back again.
