Lyrics

Album version


[Intro] No-no-no, no-no-no No-no-no-no-no, no-no-no-no-no No-no-no-no-no, no-no-no-no [Verse 1] Stand up straight now (Ooh) Can't break down (Ooh) Graduate now (Ooh) I don't wanna be here, I don't wanna be here It's a taste test (Ooh) Of what I hate less (Ooh) Can you die of anxiousness? (Ooh) I don't wanna be here, I don't wanna be here What's about to happen? What's about to happen? [Chorus] I remember I remember certain things What I was wearing The yellow dashes in the street I prayed those lights would take me home Then I heard, "Hey, kid, get out of the road!" [Post-Chorus] (Ooh, ooh, ooh) I don't wanna be here, I don't wanna be here [Verse 2] Can't feel my legs (Ooh) I might suffocate (Ooh) There's a pressure in my chest (Ooh) I don't wanna be here, I don't wanna be here What's about to happen? What's about to happen? [Chorus] I remember I remember certain things What I was wearin' The yellow dashes in the street I prayed those lights would take me home Then I heard, "Hey, kid, get out of the road!" [Refrain] (Ohh, woah, oh, oh-woah) (Ohh, woah, oh, oh-woah, ohh) Can't change what you've done Start fresh next semester [Chorus] I remember I remember certain things What I was wearin' The yellow dashes in the street I prayed those lights would take me home Then I heard, "Hey, kid, get out of the road!" [Refrain] (Ohh, woah, oh, oh-woah) And then he slowed down (Ohh, woah, oh, oh-woah, ohh) And rolled down his window And he said "Can't change what you've done Start fresh next semester" [Outro] It's a taste test Of what I hate less I don't wanna be here Start fresh with the new year (Ohh, ahh, oh, oh-woah) (Ohh, ahh, oh, oh-woah) Can't change what you've done Start fresh next semester

Lyrics meaning

This song talks about struggles in young age to find one’s place and identity, which are followed by a failed suicide attempt. The lyrical subject tried to get hit by a car but got noticed by the driver who slowed down.

An alternative interpretation could be that he had a panic attack in the middle of the road, only somewhat aware of what was going on. ^[2]
