Homecoming King Lyrics

Some nights you lie
Some nights you don't
But they all feel the same
Sometimes you wish you could turn to stone
And be perfect always
I, I can't feel like this no more

In the crowd alone cause no one wants to know you
Do they?
Don't...

    Some nights you lie
    Some nights you don't
    But they all feel the same
    Sometimes you wish you could turn to stone
    And be perfect always
    I, I can't feel like this no more

    In the crowd alone 'cause no one wants to know you
    Do they?
    Don't they?

    Right here but no one's watching

    Here comes the invisible man
    That no one turns to see
    I'm just another dumb fool who'll never go down in history
    Yeah, you're standing there with the homecoming king
    Turn the silver spoon into a diamond ring
    Can he make you disappear without anyone noticing?
    Yeah, fuck the homecoming king

    You see your life is drawn out
    Don't feel the world that you know
    Caught in the tower singing
    Oh no, that's not the life I chose

    Most days you rise and start to fade
    'Cause no one loves you
    Avert their eyes and look away
    Life without virtue
    I, I can't feel like this no more

    You walk these halls and feel the same
    'Cause you can't find your place

    Right here but no one's watching

    Here comes the invisible man
    That no one turns to see
    I'm just another dumb fool who'll never go down in history (hey)
    Yeah, you're standing there with the homecoming king
    Turn the silver spoon into a diamond ring
    Can he make you disappear without anyone noticing?


    And I stare the fan on the ceiling
    All night, all night
    All these memories won't stop running
    My mind, my mind

    And the rats in the walls keeps scratching
    My life, my life
    And all the voices won't stop laughing
    I can't fight again

    The song is about the big lead getting the attention and whom has the ability to make others feel invisible or make other look at others as delinquents that don't belong anywhere

    Andy's video suggests that the song is written from an outcast's perception of a homecoming king being worshiped in high school but after graduation, the real world doesn't turn out to be like they expected. The song is meant to help fans who feel invisible and shed light on the fact that the people who looked down on you will get what's coming to them and the hierarchy will come to an end.

    The meaning of the song is about being an outsider.
