Nemo, nemo, nemo
A song about me, a nobody
Overflowing information
Emotions changing daily
Another day of dancing to another’s tune
White or black? Right or left?
I don’t even know my own answer
To avoid getting hurt
To avoid standing out
I put up a defensive line
Oh, fearing nothing but failure
What is it I want to do
With my life?
I’m tired of the repeating mundane days
Fed up with the unsatisfying status quo
Mayday, mayday
I’m searching for answers
Not found in textbooks
I want to be somebody unique
Not a nobody in a faceless crowd
A life of lining up behind others?
No! No! No! Ah!
Nobody is replaceable
Fate can always be changed
To the days of resentment and setbacks
I say bye-bye! I bid thee farewell
Nemo, nemo, nemo, a song about me, a nobody
Nemo, nemo, nemo, may I be able to live truly to myself someday
No matter how many tens or hundreds of times I try
It isn’t easy to admit, I can’t live well
Hidden emotions swirling in black hues
Today, alone once again, up and down
Offering innocuous remarks
Getting through the day with a forced smile
I’m consumed by the notion of normality
I want to be someone special
Not hiding in another’s shadow
A life of comparison and envy?
No! No! No! Ah!
It’s okay to reinvent yourself countless times
Nothing will start if you just wait
To my tendency to stop and complain
I say bye-bye!
I bid thee farewell
I want to be somebody unique
Not a nobody in a faceless crowd
A life of lining up behind others?
No! No! No! Ah! Ah!
Nobody is replaceable
Fate can always be changed
To the days of resentment and setbacks
I say bye-bye! I bid thee farewell
Nemo, nemo, nemo, a song about me, a nobody
Nemo, nemo, nemo, may I be able to live truly to myself someday
