You Are Not Lyrics
Lonely, lonely, undefined
You say you take your time
I say you hide away
Lonely, lonely
Hard to shine
When they don't notice you all
Sink further every day
You're always so lonely
And I never had a doubt
You don't even know me
Still you pass the judgement out
When you belong
You're just a face in the crowd
You're only lonely, so lonely
Like everybody else
Lonely, lonely
Little fly
You say they pay no mind
I say there's no better way
You hang yourself in your own web
Drawn and quartered out
The more you hurt
The more you heal
The more you'll figure out
You're only so lonely
I never had a doubt
You don't even know me
Still you pass the judgement out
When you belong
You're just a face in the crowd
You're only lonely, so lonely
Like everybody else
You are not a diamond
You are not a shining star
It doesn't mean that you're not perfect
Exactly as you are
You're only so lonely
I never had a doubt
You don't even know me
Still you pass the judgement out
When you belong
You're just a face in the crowd
You're only lonely, so lonely
Like everybody else
You are not a diamond
You are not a shining star
It doesn't mean that you're not perfect
Exactly as you are
You say you take your time
I say you hide away
Hard to shine
When they don't notice you all
Sink further every day
And I never had a doubt
You don't even know me
Still you pass the judgement out
You're just a face in the crowd
You're only lonely, so lonely
Like everybody else
Little fly
You say they pay no mind
I say there's no better way
You hang yourself in your own web
Drawn and quartered out
The more you hurt
The more you heal
The more you'll figure out
I never had a doubt
You don't even know me
Still you pass the judgement out
You're just a face in the crowd
You're only lonely, so lonely
Like everybody else
You are not a shining star
It doesn't mean that you're not perfect
Exactly as you are
I never had a doubt
You don't even know me
Still you pass the judgement out
You're just a face in the crowd
You're only lonely, so lonely
Like everybody else
You are not a shining star
It doesn't mean that you're not perfect
Exactly as you are

Any idea what it is about?
Personally I think the songs about someone who struggled to open themselves up to the world and other people. Possibly in a relationship sense or maybe just people in general. At least that's how I relate to the words.
Despite being lonely and wanting to be noticed and loved, they just don't have enough confidence in themselves and feel bitterness or resentment towards the rest of the world. Hence without even knowing someone they pass judgement.
Seems like the song is aimed at trying to make that person see that they are worth something and to stop being their own worst enemy
Just my 2 cents :)
I read that Gustav sees this album as more slanted to his personal feelings as a kid (especially in Broadfields), compared to All Our Kings Our Dead which was directed to his father who left them at a young age I think.
I get the feeling this song is written towards how Gustav was as a kid i.e. reflection on himself when he was younger. So in effect, it's all about hindsight. But then because he can look back on it, the lines 'you are not a diamond, you are not a shining star, it doesn't mean that you're not perfect exactly as you are' show that as a kid he wasn't anything special, but he was just right for someone in his situation; there was nothing actually wrong with him or his childhood. It goes in tandem with Marky101's comments that they ARE worth something, I think.
