about

‘I guess I am Pretentious’ outlines my insecurities as an adolescent, and the fear of missing out. I never feel cool because I’m not going out to cool parties etc. and I’m just at home eating cereal out of the box. But I also don’t know how others perceive me - and how I am as “cool”. Basically everyone is insecure as hell, and we’re all still trying to figure it out.

lyrics

all your friends are idiots and you know it
you tell me on the train how they’re all hopeless
and i don't know how to react so i just sit
they all have private school educations
but honestly it doesn't make a difference
save yourself a few grand each year
trust your children to make the right decisions

i guess i am pretentious
because i’ve never gone out and got wasted
never woke up in a bathtub in a suburb i don't know
i guess i am pretentious
but i don't feel the urge to go out and break shit
always find myself scared and home alone

all you friends think they’re so much better
when their self worth depends on figures
I don't think you need to worry about that at all
they all go down to watch the boys play soccer
and your best friend hides dope in her locker
you told me she traded dignity for vodka
even though you begged her not to

i guess i am pretentious
because i’ve never gone out and got wasted
never woke up in a bathtub in a suburb i don't know
i guess i am pretentious
but i don't feel the urge to go out and break shit
always find myself scared and home alone

too educated to get shit faced
my ego is too big to displace
this pre-dispositioned version of me
sometimes i do fear that i am missing
but how much of youth is about regretting?
maybe it’s better if i stay home pretending
i'm listening to the smiths and quoting sylvia plath


i guess i am pretentious
because i’ve never gone out and got wasted
never woke up in a bathtub in a suburb i don't know
i guess i am pretentious
but i don't feel the urge to go out and break shit
always find myself scared and home alone
