Nobody Owns You Lyrics
Patience out the window and feed it to the birds
Saying nothin' too much while they find it first
Pissin’ on the moments and missing the chance
Under your face and it slip through your hands
Waiting for approval and nobody cares
Guessing the mood is(?) behind every stare
Think back about the things you used to care about
And now they're so insignificant
Think how lame your fears seem now
And how you might not get to live again
Worry about the strangers' imaginary thoughts
Wondering if they're gonna love you or not
Loves me, she loves me not- it's all the same
Irrational thoughts to feed the mundane
Waiting for approval but nobody cares
Guessing the motives(?) behind every stare
Think back about the things you used to care about
And now they're so insignificant
Think how lame your fears seem now
And how you might not get to live again
Patience out the window and feed it to the birds
Saying nothing too much while they all find it first
Pissing on the moments and missing the chance
Under your face and it slip through your hands
Think back about the things you used to care about
And now they're so insignificant
Think how lame your fears seem now
And how you might not get to live again
Let old fear be your mirror
Let it show you that it can't hold you
Let old fear be your mirror
Let it show you that nobody owns you
Saying nothin' too much while they find it first
Pissin’ on the moments and missing the chance
Under your face and it slip through your hands
Waiting for approval and nobody cares
Guessing the mood is(?) behind every stare
And now they're so insignificant
Think how lame your fears seem now
And how you might not get to live again
Wondering if they're gonna love you or not
Loves me, she loves me not- it's all the same
Irrational thoughts to feed the mundane
Guessing the motives(?) behind every stare
Think back about the things you used to care about
And now they're so insignificant
Think how lame your fears seem now
And how you might not get to live again
Saying nothing too much while they all find it first
Pissing on the moments and missing the chance
Under your face and it slip through your hands
And now they're so insignificant
Think how lame your fears seem now
And how you might not get to live again
Let it show you that it can't hold you
Let old fear be your mirror
Let it show you that nobody owns you

I think the meaning of this song is pretty apparent, as the lyrics are not too abstract to understand. However, this is my interpretation, whether its the true meaning behind the song or not:\n\nI find this song to be about how life is too short to let your fears about how people might perceive you hold you back from how you truly want to act. "Pissin’ on the moments and missing the chance" and "Waiting for approval and nobody cares" stick out as lyrics from the first verse. Many people go through life wasting opportunities, even small ones, as a result of their fears of others perceptions of them. We wait for approval from people (often strangers) who don\'t have the slightest concern about what we are doing a lot of the time. And even if they did care, why should we await their approval in the first place? Life is too short.\n\nThe chorus reiterates this idea in more detail. "Irrational thoughts to feed the mundane." If you want to live a basic life then you can let your irrational thoughts about how others perceive you to dictate your life. It\'s a self-sabotaging behavior. If you have the courage to stay true to yourself and care as little as possible about the perceptions of others, then you can live a more interesting life.
