Normal vs. Normal
"Stand apart, be unique"
Normal vs. NormalPaperSailor
00:00 / 03:35
So this song started its life as the drumbeat that's in the intro. It was something that I found myself playing whenever I would practice and I thought it was pretty catchy and groovy, so i wrote the guitar riff around the beat and voila! A song.
I'd say this is the least "different" song on the album, by which I mean it probably wouldn't be out of place on the first album. But that's neither here nor there.
You know how growing up you're always told to be unique, stand out from the crowd and forge your own path? Well have you ever noticed that when someone does indeed deviate from what is considered "normal" they get teased, or rejected, or put down? To those downers, I say this:
Fuck you.
Normal is a meaningless word. Don't ever let anyone put you down or belittle your character just for being your true self.
Video walkthrough
Stand apart, be unique
Wear your heart on your sleeve
Break the mould
Or so I'm told
​
C.
Your "normal" cuts like a knife
Versus dull, dead and listless
Don't give their fantasy life pretense
Living in constant bliss
​
Don't you dare even speak
Shame on you for your views
Toe the line
Ill-defined
​
Take no heed of their clique
Be the best you can be
Bide your time
Just brave the climb
