Ever felt like you just don't fit in? Arcade Fire's lyrics dive into the perplexing concept of "normalcy" and question its very existence. The song explores the pressure to conform and the confusion of trying to figure out if one is "normal" enough to blend in. It paints a picture of societal expectations that break individuals down until they lose their unique traits. With lines about dreaming in "proper English" and burning jungles, it hints at cultural assimilation and loss of individuality. Ultimately, the song suggests that being "normal" might not be desirable after all, encouraging us to embrace our differences rather than hide them.
Normal Person
Lyrics
Do you like rock and roll music?
'Cause I don't know if I do
Is anything as strange as a normal person?
Is anyone as cruel as a normal person?
Waiting after school for you
They want to know if you
If you're normal too
Well, are you?
Are you?
I'm so confused, am I a normal person?
You know, I can't tell if I'm a normal person, it's true
I think I'm cool enough, but am I cruel enough?
Am I cruel enough, for you?
Girl break you down
Till everything is normal now, I know
And they will break down
Till everything is normal now, I know
They take their tea at two
All the normal people, they do
They burn the jungle down
While they were sleeping, it grew
You dream in English now
In proper English, look how
You're just the same as me
It's through
And they will break you down
Till everything is normal now, I know
And they will break down
Till everyone is normal now, I know
If that's what's normal now
I don't want to know
If that's what's normal now
Mama don't make me go
When they get excited, they try to hide it
Look at those normals go
When they get excited, they try to hide it
Look at those normals go
When they get excited, they try to hide it
Look at those normals go
When they get excited, they try to hide it, no!
And they will break you down
Till everything is normal now, I know
And they will break down
Till everything is normal now, I know
If that's what's normal now
I don't want to know
If that's what's normal now
Maybe if you hang together
You can make the changes in our hearts
And if you hang together
You can change us, just where should you start?
I've never really ever met a normal person
I've never really ever met a normal person
I've never really ever met a normal person
I've never really ever met a normal person like you!
How do you do
Thank you
