Not Your Kind Of People Lyrics

Cover art for Not Your Kind Of People lyrics by Garbage

It's a song about somoene who likes to pretend he's not accepted due to being different in some way, when in reality he is accepted by many (has more friends and supporters than most), but just cannot accept himself. He also likes to believe he's a rebel, when in reality he is a conformist.

I really like this interpretation as well. When I listen to the song while interpreting it this way, it sounds like Shirley is pleading with herself by the last refrain after the bridge, telling herself she is different, and she has finally accepted it, but in the light of the world she is just like everyone else. Dark Dark stuff.
