This Is What I Sound Like Lyrics
Do you know what your fighting for
Well let's fight, let's fight.
Do you know what we're asking for
Cause i don't sometimes
I just wanna kick off at something
Go to town and then make a scene
We're not sure what were fighting for
but we'll fight
And just wanna give you something that i haven't got
I'm a walking advertisement of both light and dark
I'm not making any sense
I'm not making any sense
I mess up but don't forget
that this is what I sound like
this is what I sound like
just to remind myself
that this is what I sound like
I was lost in a hotel bar I was lost, I was lost
Is someone out there just laughing at us
cause it seems that way
Stop at nothing to get what we want
Too young to realize
we're all the same
I was lost in a hotel bar
I was lost
And just wanna give you something that i haven't got
I'm a walking advertisement of both light and dark
I'm not making any sense
I'm not making any sense
I mess up but don't forget
that this is what I sound like
this is what I sound like
just to remind myself
that this is what I sound like
Well let's fight, let's fight.
Do you know what we're asking for
Cause i don't sometimes
Go to town and then make a scene
We're not sure what were fighting for
but we'll fight
I'm a walking advertisement of both light and dark
I'm not making any sense
I'm not making any sense
I mess up but don't forget
that this is what I sound like
this is what I sound like
just to remind myself
that this is what I sound like
Is someone out there just laughing at us
cause it seems that way
Too young to realize
we're all the same
I was lost in a hotel bar
I was lost
I'm a walking advertisement of both light and dark
I'm not making any sense
I'm not making any sense
I mess up but don't forget
that this is what I sound like
this is what I sound like
just to remind myself
that this is what I sound like

I'm shocked nobody has commented yet, this is my favourite off the new album.
I think he's reflecting on himself and how he doesn't like what he's become. He might be trying to impress somebody (a girl?) or maybe simply he's worried about the image he is giving off.
"a walking advertisement of both light and dark", "not making any sense", "don't forget that this is what I sound like", "i just want to give you something I haven't got" seem to all hint that he knows deep down inside he's good and wants to show that, but he can't stop behaving the wrong way and that gets to him.
I also think this is one of the best songs on the new album. I think he has met a girl that he would like to have a relationship with, but he's worried that he might hurt her. The song is giving her reasons why she should have reservations about him and then he's saying that when she gets hurt she shouldn't' be surprised because he warned her.
