[Verse 1] I’m from the east side of America Where we choose pride over character And we can pick sides but this is us this is us this is I live on the west side of America Where they spin lies into fairy dust And we can pick sides but this is us this is us this is [Refrain] And don’t believe the narcissism When everyone projects and expects you to listen to ’em Make no mistake I live in a prison That I built myself it is my religion And they say that I am the sick boy Easy to say when you don’t take the risk boy Welcome to the narcissism Where we’re united under our indifference [Verse 2] And I’m from the east side of America Where we desensitize by hysteria And we can pick sides but this is us this is us this is I live on the west side of America Where they spin lies into fairy dust And we can pick sides but this is us this is us this is [Chorus] I the I the I the sick boy I the I the I the sick boy They say that I am the sick boy And they call me the sick boy [Refrain] Don’t believe the narcissism When everyone projects and expects you to listen to ’em Make no mistake I live in a prison That I built myself it is my religion And they say that I am the sick boy Easy to say when you don’t take the risk boy Welcome to the narcissism Where we’re united under our indifference [Bridge] Feed yourself with my life’s work How many likes is my life worth? Feed yourself with my life’s work How many likes is my life worth? Feed yourself with my life’s work How many likes is my life worth? Feed yourself on my life’s work How many likes is my life worth? [Pre-Chorus] I’m from the east side of America (I the I the I the sick boy) I live on the west side of America (I the I the I the sick boy) I’m from the east side of America (They say that I am the sick boy) I live on the west side of America (Yeah they call me the sick boy) [Chorus] I the I the I the sick boy I the I the I the sick boy They say that I am the sick boy And they call me the sick boy [Outro]

La chanson évoque un sentiment de division et de désillusion dans la société moderne, où l'apparence et l'égocentrisme prennent souvent le pas sur l'authenticité et les valeurs morales. Elle parle de la lutte intérieure de vivre dans un monde où chacun cherche à se démarquer, dans lequel les gens sont souvent piégés par leurs propres choix, créant ainsi des prisons émotionnelles. Les paroles illustrent comment les différences géographiques et culturelles peuvent renforcer des sentiments d'aliénation, mais au fond, elles soulignent notre humanité commune malgré les façades. Le contexte de cette œuvre reflète les réalités de la vie contemporaine, marquée par les réseaux sociaux et une quête incessante de validation, où des valeurs comme la fierté et la superficialité l’emportent souvent sur la véritable connexion humaine. C’est une représentation de l’hypocrisie et du vide qui peuvent résulter de ces dynamiques.
