Can You Afford To Be An Individual

Nothing But Thieves

Transposer:

[Intro]                      [Verse 1] I couldn’t be anything that I didn’t wanna be It’s stubborn as hell or a problem with authority ’Cause it won’t mirror your image of masculinity Oh did I disappoint ya? Sorry to disappoint ya [Bridge] What will you do when the vultures come for you? Will you run and hide? [Verse 2] And now we’re breeding a feeling of animosity Our thoughts are tribal go viral and now it’s deafening Oh how we’re loving the comfort of pack mentality The internet has teeth and It eats and eats and eats ya [Pre-Chorus]     So are you scared of your introspection? Why could that be? Oh maybe you object to what you find there     And as you stare into your own reflection What do you see? Your black hole for a soul [Interlude]                                              [Chorus] And as your stare into your reflection what do you see? Your black hole for a soul [Interlude]      [Verse 3] So how’s it being a prisoner of your own illusion? Up on a pedestal reveling in your own confusion I see you hide behind your alter or your constitution But you can’t live forever In your own echo chamber [Verse 4] And you’re so scared of the people up in your fairyland But how can you hate something you don’t even understand? Oh you’re a walking contradiction in a MAGA hat It’s where I wanna be God bless the land of the free [Verse 5] So who are you to tell us where we do and don’t belong? And who are you to tell us who to love and who to not? Because your mother told ya you would win when you were young Oh it’s a boys wonderland We know it now [Verse 6] But now the liberals aren’t liberal they’re just as venomous And you can’t have an opinion unless you’re one of us No second chances you’re branded your kind are dangerous We’re bringing each other down We’re tearing each other down [Verse 7] So have I gotta kill myself to be original? And if I fucking hate you all am I a criminal? Can you afford to be an individual? Can you afford to be an individual? [Outro]

Cette chanson aborde la lutte pour l'individualité dans un monde où la conformité et les jugements des autres prennent le pas. Elle évoque les pressions sociales qui poussent à se conformer aux attentes, en soulignant les dangers d'une mentalité de groupe où les voix dissidentes sont étouffées. L'artiste questionne le coût de l'authenticité, demandant s'il est possible de rester soi-même sans subir de conséquences. Le contexte semble refléter des tensions modernes liées à l'identité et à la polarisation sociale. On y ressent un profond malaise face aux idéologies qui divisent, ainsi qu'une réflexion sur la difficulté de se tenir debout en tant qu'individu dans une société qui valorise l'uniformité.
