Andy Black - Homecoming King Meaning

Homecoming King Lyrics
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.
