Stressed Out Lyrics

Yeah

They wanna take what's yours
They wanna go for dinner on your name
I let them take control and take me for a fool
It's such a shame
I never said a word and all time that I waited was a waste
They wanna see me stressed out every day, I know it
They wanna lie and still be friends
But when you're at worst, they're not there
And you discovered that they don't care

So, you didn't know any better
Doesn't it feel unfair?
Doesn't it?
Doesn't it? (Yeah)

Hey!
They wanna see me stressed out every day, I know it (yeah)
They wanna lie and still be friends
But when you're at worst, they're not there
And you discovered that they don't care

So, you didn't know no better (oh, you wanna see how?)
Doesn't it feel unfair? (Oh you wanna check on me now?)

(Yeah, yeah)
(Oh, you wanna see how?)
(Oh wanna check on me now?)
(Oh, you wanna see how?)
(Oh you wanna check on me now?)

What is the Meaning of Stressed Out?

This poignant track delves into the artist's struggle with fake friends and the pressure of expectations. The lyrics reveal a sense of betrayal, as those around him only show interest when it benefits them, leaving him feeling exploited and alone during his toughest times. 💔 The recurring theme "They wanna see me stressed out every day" underscores the emotional toll this takes on him, while also hinting at society's fascination with public figures' struggles. 🎭 His rhetorical questions - "Doesn't it feel unfair?" serve to highlight his feelings of injustice and frustration. Ultimately, this song is a raw expression of the artist's experience with insincerity and the constant scrutiny that accompanies fame.
