  • Lyrics
    I tried the fitting in thing.
    Alright, let's see what I can bring.
    I'd fight the part of me the that wanted to be unique.
    So I tried living life in monotone,
    Until I came to realize my life was not my own.
    It wasn't easy but I finally tried to break the mold.
    And when I did it, well, they thought it was hysterical.
    Do I mind? A little bit, yes.
    I lied. I'm really quite distressed.
    Oh, why does what they say and do cut to the bone? Revert to monotone.
    I. Try. To think before I speak.
    I. Find. I'd rather be view as dull than weak.
    x2
    I tried the fitting in thing.
    Alright, let's see what I can bring.
    I'd fight the part of me the that wanted to be unique.
    So I tried living life in monotone,
    Until I came to realize my life was not my own.
    It wasn't easy but I finally tried to break the mold.
    And when I did it, well, they thought it was hysterical.
    Do I mind? A little bit, yes.
    I lied. I'm really quite distressed.
    Oh, why does what they say and do cut to the bone? Revert to monotone.
    Don't cry. Go to sleep. Just accept it when they leave. Don't fight. Stay alone. Always keep it monotone.
    Don't feel. Keep in count. Never share the full amount. Live life on your own. Hang on to the monotone.
    Hold up. Keep it down. Someone else could hear you now. Shut your mouth. Watch your tone. NEVER stray from monotone.
    Who's there? Is it me? Or a living fallacy? Hand me stick or stone, fighting off the monotone.
    That's not you. This is me! Hold your tongue. Let me speak! Mark my words. Mark mine too! I never needed you! Leave me be, self-talk, we're through.
    See, I know I won't fit in. I understand I'll fail again. And you'll mock and laugh out loud when I dare to leave the crowd. Yet I alone escape the monotone.

    This song and the lyrics are breath taking in how simple and painful life can be and the pressure we put on ourselves to not stand out and be mediocre. But Grace you NOT anywhere close to mediocre!

    I'm completely blown away by this. Everything is incredible; the lyrics are clever, the singing is excellent, the instrumental is simple, but tasteful. Thank you so much for taking the time and effort to extract this from your head and hands, so that we all could hear it. I know it's really tough to see an idea through to the end. I wish I had the drive to complete something like this, and i'm genuinely inspired by you. This really made my day; great job, and keep up the good work :)

    It's remarkable to hear how your voice breaks and wavers at times. Quite reminiscent of Dolores O'Riordan of the Cranberries and it's very endearing.
