It is about how Mark was a kid who never fit in and what people think of him now in the near future
This song has drug references
[Intro]
I was so much an outcast
No one ever liked me 'cause I wasn't wanted
I was so different from the rest of them all
Fucked up on the drugs, from all the speed
And I never got no sleep
'Cause I kept on trippin' over what they said
And everything that my mom said made me mad
And everything that my dad said made me sad
[Chorus]
Why am I even trying?
I'm crying out, I'm crying out
I cannot seem to keep from freaking out
Spinning 'round, spinning 'round, I've fallen down
I cannot seem to keep from freaking out
[Verse]
You keep shootin' those glances
Relating to the rawness, of a fucking lost kid
Trying so hard to become just like me, talk like me, walk like me
You keep trippin' on everything I wear, every time I swear
Even when it comes to my hair
It seems like you don't have the time to relate to my kind
I'm not a dumb fool in your life
[Chorus]
Why am I even trying?
I'm crying out, I'm crying out
I cannot seem to keep from freaking out
Spinning 'round, spinning 'round, I've fallen down
I cannot seem to keep from freaking out
I'm tripping out, I'm tripping out
I cannot seem to keep from freaking out
Coming down, breaking down
I've hit the ground
I cannot seem to keep from freaking out
[Chorus]
Your dreamy dreads
Are you still tripping on me?
You're drinking dread
Are you still tripping on me?
Now do you drift?
Are you still tripping on me?
Now do you drift?
Why are you tripping on me?!
[Verse]
I was so much an outcast
Find a way to make it right
I was so much an outcast
I can't seem to find a way to make it right
I was so much an outcast
No one ever liked me
I can't find a way to make it right
I was so much an outcast
I can't seem to find a way to make it right
[Outro]
Why am I even trying?
I'm crying out, I'm crying out
I cannot seem to keep from freaking out
Spinning 'round, spinning 'round, I've fallen down
I cannot seem to keep from freaking out
I'm tripping out, I'm tripping out
I cannot seem to keep from freaking out
Coming down, breaking down
I've hit the ground
I cannot seem to keep from freaking out
I'm crying out, I'm crying out, I'm crying out
Freaking out
Coming down, breaking down
I've hit the ground
I cannot seem to keep from freaking out
