Boy In A Magazine Lyrics

I'll be a boy in a magazine
I'll mean nothing to you, you'll mean nothing to me
You asked to go so I guess that'll I'll leave and just be a boy in a magazine

I'll clap my hand then pour in some sorrow
I stole some things from you I could have easily borrowed

When you were pissed and on the rag
I waited around but now I'm packing my bags
To live on street in Hollywood
They will love me there

I'll be a boy in a magazine
I'll mean nothing to you, you'll mean nothing to me
You asked to go so I guess that'll I'll leave and just be a boy in a magazine

I won't have a bed
I'll still have my string stained hands
I got home where animals are buried in the back yard

When you were pissed and on the rag
I waited around but now I'm packing my bags
To live on street in Hollywood
They will love me there

I'll be a boy in a magazine
I'll mean nothing to you, you'll mean nothing to me
You asked to go so I guess that'll I'll leave and just be a boy in a magazine

(repeat chorus)

I'll be a boy in a magazine(magazineeee)

(repeat)

I'll be a boy in a magazine
I'll mean nothing to you, you'll mean nothing to me
You asked to go so I guess that'll I'll leave and just be a boy in a magazine

I'll clap my hand then pour in some sorrow
I stole some things from you I could have easily borrowed

When you were pissed and on the rag
I waited around but now I'm packing my bags
To live on street in Hollywood
They will love me there

I'll be a boy in a magazine
I'll mean nothing to you, you'll mean nothing to me
You asked to go so I guess that'll I'll leave and just be a boy in a magazine

I won't have a bed
I'll still have my string stained hands
I got home where animals are buried in the back yard

When you were pissed and on the rag
I waited around but now I'm packing my bags
To live on street in Hollywood
They will love me there

I'll be a boy in a magazine
I'll mean nothing to you, you'll mean nothing to me
You asked to go so I guess that'll I'll leave and just be a boy in a magazine

(repeat chorus)

I'll be a boy in a magazine(magazineeee)

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.

anyone else think the beginning sounds a bit like stay together for the kids by blink 182?

Here's the correct version from the CD booklet.

I'll crack my head, then pour in some sorrow, I stole some things from you I could have easily borrowed. When you were pissed and on the rag. I waited around but now I'm packing my bags. To live on a street in Hollywood. Will they love me there? I'll be a boy in a magazine. I'll mean nothing to you, you'll mean nothing to me. You asked to go so I guess that I'll leave and just be a boy in a magazine. I won't have a bed. I'll still have my string stained hand. I call home where animals are buried in the backyard.

this song is really great. it was the first one that i heard by Socratic but now, i really love this band.

the song is about wanting to be famous and people holding you back.
