On I Don’t Like People (& They Don’t Like Me), Cox imagines himself as “a cynical criminal drifting through liminal.” The lyrics describe him as “a surface-level freak” who “no one’s listening to“. These feelings of isolation are something everyone can relate to, especially in the last year and...
[Verse 1]
I haven't left my bedroom
For sixteen days
And I don't see why I would do
When everything's so grey
[Pre-Chorus]
And you can say whatever you like
There's no way that I'm going outside
'Cos I don't like people
And they don't like me, no they don't like me
[Chorus]
I'm a surface-level freak
No one's listening to me
And I think I'm alone
And the walls are closing in
Can't remember where I've been
Man I think I'm alone
[Verse 2]
I'm a cynical criminal
Drifting through the liminal
In a black beanie
Wish you could follow me, honestly
This week I got a lot of sleep
But I'm still dreaming now, now
[Chorus]
I'm a surface-level freak
No one's listening to me
And I think I'm alone
And the walls are closing in
Can't remember where I've been
Man I think I'm alone
I'm a surface-level freak
No one's listening to me
And I think I'm alone
And the walls are closing in
Can't remember where I've been
Man I think I'm alone
[Pre-Chorus]
And you can say whatever you like
There's no way that I'm going outside
'Cos I don't like people
And they don't like me, they don't like me
[Chorus]
I'm a surface-level freak
No one's listening to me
And I think I'm alone
And the walls are closing in
Can't remember where I've been
Man I think I'm alone
I'm a surface-level freak
No one's listening to me
And I think I'm alone
