Fourth track on Banging Down the Doors. The song deals with the conflict between worldly success (“all of your admiration”) and spiritual goals (“ain’t gonna matter come judgement day”). The narrator is trying to make everyone happy but is afraid that they will see aspects of his life that he doesn’...
I wanna be ignored
And I'm well on my way
All of your admiration
Ain't gonna matter come judgement day
I wanna be ignored
I can't take your gaze
And I don't want to be rewarded
If I ever find my outta this maze
Oooooooooooh, ooooh
Oooooooooooh
I wana be ignored
Don't want a speaking part
I don't want anybody to notice
The blood spilling out of my exploding heart
I wanna be ignored
Stay behind the scenes
I want you to enjoy the music
And not think about what the lyrics mean
Oooooooooooh, ooooh
Oooooooooooh
Well, runnin' through a hall of mirrors
A giant clock is chasing me
Singin' in the face of the government
Sittin' under a lemon tree
Drinkin' in a skyline sunset
Prayin' to a far off lord
People get what they deserve
And I deserve to be ignored
I wanna be ignored
I don't want people to see
I just wanna make everybody happy
And nobody else to look at me
I wanna be ignored
I don't want people to know
That I'm the reason that there's footprints
In their perfect backyards of snow
I wanna be ignored
I can't take your gaze
And I don't want to be rewarded
If I ever find my outta this maze
I wanna be ignored
And I'm well on my way
All of your admiration
Ain't gonna matter come judgement day
I wanna be ignored
I don't want people to see
I just wanna make everybody happy
And nobody else to look at me
I wanna be ignored
I don't want people to know
That I'm the reason that there's footprints
In their perfect backyards of snow
Oooooooooooh, ooooh
Oooooooooooh
Oooooooooooh, ooooh
Oooooooooooh
Oooooooooooh, ooooh
Oooooooooooh
Oooooooooooh, ooooh
Oooooooooooh
