Two Points For Honesty Lyrics

Cover art for Two Points For Honesty lyrics by Guster

i feel like it's about a person who has adhd. and another person said to them that if that's all they're gonna be, they'll be a waste of time. like, the person with adhd needs to not let it define them, and improve themselves, not be an adhd person but a person who happens to have adhd.

these lyrics go along with my idea of this song:

""Will I get better? Or stay the same? I found I always move too slowly Can't lift a finger, can't change my mind I never knew till someone told me that"

the adhd person wonders if they will ever overcome this condition they have. they know that they mess up all the time, are slow, lazy, and find it hard to change the way they think about things to the way everyone else who is normal thinks. they never knew that they were different until someone finally told them that they were, and that it may be because of adhd.

If that's all you will be, You'll be a waste of time You've dreamed a thousand dreams, None seem to stick in your mind Two points for honesty It must make you sad to know that Nobody cares at all "

adhd causes a person to have dreams, but then not stick with them, they constantly change their minds instead. often when a person has adhd, it feels like no one cares at all because often no one knows its adhd, not even the person who has it, if they haven't been diagnosed. adhd is widely under-diagnosed, especially for the quiet daydreamer type. also, people with adhd speak their minds often because they have no filter. so they can be quite honest a lot of the time. so, two points for that. and two points for the person who helps diagnose adhd honestly for a person.
