Low Millions Lyrics

There’s a sign on my door
Says I’m not here when I’ve gone

I wish to hell that I could cry
I’d feel better
Count me in
I’m one of the low millions
Like her like him
Just one of the low millions

I’m disconnected to myself
There isn’t anybody else
That I can point to who I know
Who isn’t being torn by the undertow

I wish to hell that I could cry
I’d feel better
Count me in
I’m one of the low millions
Like her like him
Just one of the low millions

I’m an alien in my own skin
Fishing where the ice is thin
I’m holding it all up with safety pins
I’m sitting on nitroglycerin

I wish to hell that I could cry
I’d feel better
Count me in
I’m one of the low millions
Like her like him
Just one of the low millions

I’m an alien in my own skin
Fishing where the ice is thin
I’m holding it all up with safety pins
I’m sitting on nitroglycerin
And I
I’m one of the low millions

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

This is about a guy (or girl) who seems to not be able to find love, no matter what. He looks around and sees other people being torn by the undertow of love, thus making neither scenario preferable to the other. The 'holding it up with safety pins' is a reference to trying to hold together an image that's not ultimately his, but is seen as a 'required' display.

"Roll call. The confession of a self-professed, card-carrying member of the Low Millions, a group which, at any given moment, encompasses billions of individuals. The only prerequisite for membership in this fluctuating club is feeling down, whether you've stubbed your toe, lost your job, or your wife just walked out for good. In this instance, the question is not, 'Who are the Low Millions,' but rather, 'Who among us is not one of the Low Millions.'"
