“Normal” is a somber song approaching the close of the album. It expresses nostalgia and questions the band’s position of fame, both common themes of the following album, Neotheater, in songs like “Don’t Throw Out My Legos” and “Beats”.
[Verse 1]
That was my favorite song, don't listen much anymore
My likeness isn't me, my likeness isn't at all, mm
[Chorus]
Is it normal to stand here and wish that I was back at home?
Is it normal to tell her I can't be normal anymore?
I don't know
So maybe I should go back home
[Verse 2]
I made a party song, so I'm in all of the dorms
I showed up once or twice, I think I'm missing the point, mm
[Chorus]
Is it normal to stand here, and wish that I was back at home?
Is it normal to tell her I can't be normal anymore?
I don't know
So maybe I should go back home
So maybe I should go back home
Maybe I should go back home
[Outro]
My friends have all new friends, I'm scared that they like 'em more
So I made a party song, now I'm in every dorm
