A classic case of imposter syndrome. Feeling like you’ll never be good enough to be the best, to get 1st place, to reach gold. A silver plaque is all you’ll ever be.
Lyrics:
My name is on a silver plaque
I’ll always be left in the back
I’ll never be the number one
And though I’ll try I know It’s not enough
Even second place is a hopeful state
Surrounded by the greatest
How can I say that
I am unique
I am unmatched
I have the skills and talent that
I truly lack
I have a chance
I have place
It all comes creeping in that this is a mistake
It’s not even worth a dream and I am still awake
I’d lie if I said I wasn't jealous
I keep on singing when I am breathless
I try to reach ranges, nothing ever fucking changes
I’ll never be enough to make it on the big stage
I know that I am good
I’m just not good enough
What about this useless stuff
Is memorable and worth how much
I’m giving
I’m living in two worlds
Living endless lives
Nothing seems to matter and
Nothing’s worth the time
Everything I do will never amount
To something bigger, greater no
In creeps in the doubt
Saying:
I am unique
I am unmatched
Let’s be honest
That’s a lie you’ll never be that
I have no chance
I don’t have place
I don’t have anything worthy enough to play
Worthless you are nothing what makes you think any other way?
Forget everything you’ve ever learned
All you’ve ever earned
All you’ve reassured
All the things you thought that you achieved
Don’t be deceived
You really believed?
It means nothing
You aren’t becoming
Something greater
You aren’t cunning
Just keep running
Nothing’s coming
Annoying humming
All that’s rushing out
Flooding
Keep on judging
You’re just bluffing
Now confronting
Truth that’s bubbling
Stupid strumming
Mindless numbing
Feel it shutting down
Try your best
You won’t succeed
A silver plaque
Is all you’ll ever receive
I’m not unique
I can be matched
Nothing special
Just another hopeless hack
There was no chance
Never a place
Why did I think I could make it
When that silver plaque has my name engraved
