Man To Mannequin Lyrics

For what it's worth, it's just not worth it
Save it for somebody who truly deserves it
Surely this all can't be real
These clones that can't even feel
Ascend their ladders with ease; so effortlessly

I- I'm just trying to get out this time
Know what I'm talking about
Cause I heard the same thing a thousand times
Everyday

I fell in love the first time I heard it
I wanted part of it, I thought it was perfect
And then the swarm came along
Taught everybody the song
Their numbers blocked out the sun
What have we done

I- I'm just trying to get out this time
Know what I'm talking about
Cause I heard the same thing a thousand times
Everyday

If this is who I should be now, I don't want any more
I don't want any more of it
If this is who I should be now, I don't want any more
I don't want any more of it

So you think that you're the next big thing?

I- I'm just trying to get out this time
Know what I'm talking about
Cause I heard the same thing a thousand times
Everyday

I fell in love the first time I heard it
I wanted part of it, I thought it was perfect
And then the swarm came along, taught everybody the song
Their numbers blocked out the sun
What have you done?

Goodbye Good Name

Our Way Home

For what it's worth, it's just not worth it
Save it for somebody who truly deserves it
Surely this all can't be real
These clones that can't even feel
Ascend their ladders with ease; so effortlessly

I- I'm just trying to get out this time
Know what I'm talking about
Cause I heard the same thing a thousand times
Everyday

I fell in love the first time I heard it
I wanted part of it, I thought it was perfect
And then the swarm came along
Taught everybody the song
Their numbers blocked out the sun
What have we done

I- I'm just trying to get out this time
Know what I'm talking about
Cause I heard the same thing a thousand times
Everyday

If this is who I should be now, I don't want any more
I don't want any more of it
If this is who I should be now, I don't want any more
I don't want any more of it

So you think that you're the next big thing?

I- I'm just trying to get out this time
Know what I'm talking about
Cause I heard the same thing a thousand times
Everyday

I fell in love the first time I heard it
I wanted part of it, I thought it was perfect
And then the swarm came along, taught everybody the song
Their numbers blocked out the sun
What have you done?

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.

Bascially this song is about the music scene and the direction it has gone in. They are first mentioning that fame should be saved for someone who truely deserves it. refering clones to people who arnt real or true to thei music.(just copy cats) when he would first hear new music with unique style and potential he would fall in love with it. But then the "sworm came along" "taught everybody their song" and their numbers blocked out the sun. endless amounts of bands just started taking over someones style but not in a good way they didnt make it their own they would make it just like the origanl band. So in conclusion he is saying that if this who he should be now or be catorgized as then he doesnt want anymore of it.

this is just what i got from the song?? or it could just be another typical song about a man whore..lolz

I quite agree with the above poster, that is the same message I got out of the song.

And truer words were never spoken. I felt exactly the same way

"I fell in love with it the first time I heard it"

But now I can't even stomach this shit anymore.

That is what it's about.

Nah Rica, you're right. That's SO what it's about. No man whore-ing about it. I think what you said is perfect.
