“Art School Wannabe” is a song about the stigma of “the tortured artist” and deals with the societal pressure placed on artists to depict and embrace suffering in order to be accepted in the artistic community. Boucher explores the trouble with this idea and the difficulty in dealing with stereotype...
[Verse 1]
Wiping my eyes of sleep
Drinking yesterday morning's coffee
Slam my head against the wall
Put the same black jeans on
Wear a hat so you can't see my hair
[Pre-Chorus]
Maybe I won't die this time
'Cause maybe I'll be fine this time
[Chorus]
Maybe I'm my own greatest fear
Maybe I'm just scared to admit that
I might not be as dark as I think
Maybe I am not the person
That I never wanted to be
Maybe I'm my own greatest fear
Maybe I'm just scared to admit that
I might not be as dark as I think
I might not be as dark as I think
[Verse 2: Jake Ewald]
So here's the thing
I'm doing fine
I know that I'm not worth your time
You need a change
I'm still the same
You took everything but my name
[Pre-Chorus]
Maybe I won't die this time
Maybe I'll be fine this time
[Chorus]
Maybe I'm my own greatest fear
Maybe I'm just scared to admit that
I might not be as dark as I think
Maybe I am not the person
That I never wanted to be
Maybe I'm my own greatest fear
Maybe I'm just scared to admit that
I might not be as dark as I think
I might not be as dark as I think
[Chorus]
Maybe I'm my own greatest fear
Maybe I'm just scared to admit that
I might not be as dark as I think
Maybe I am not the person
That I never wanted to be
Maybe I'm my own greatest fear
Maybe I'm just scared to admit that
I might not be as dark as I think
I might not be as dark as I think
