moonlight social - nominated! (album version) lyrics

[part 1 — welcome to your new life]

welcome to your new life
this is what it feels like
to finally break through that glass
and all of the doubters, haters and fakers
can get in line
to kiss this ass
whoever said you can’t be friends
with the voices in your head?
that’s right! congrats! you think you finally made it
nominated! but did you really make it?
it’s not like you have won anything yet
the world out there (it sure seems lovely)
but here in your brain (it’s a little more troubling)
all these demons and none of us paying rent
just asking so many little questions
likе who do you think you are?
[part 2 — imposter syndrome]

“impostor syndrome is a psychological occurrencе in which an individual doubts their sk!lls, talents, or accomplishments and has a persistent internalized fear of being exposed as a fraud
despite external evidence of their competence, those experiencing this phenomenon do not believe they deserve success or luck. they may think that they are deceiving others because they feel as if they are not as intelligent as they outwardly portray themselves to be
impostor syndrome can stem from and result in strained personal relationships and can hinder individuals from achieving their full potential in their fields of interest.”

[part 3 — the red carpet]

i’m a total mess
i got no business being here
but oh, nonetheless
i’m standing next to very pretty people
what a time to be alive
everybody smells like candles baby
and i’m just trying to survive
all these questions and cameras, oh god

oh what a drag (what a drag)
i’m feeling pretty useless, soggy and confusing like a
wet paper bag (ah)
can’t take the weight of nothin’
dry me out

oh what a drag (what a drag)
i’m feeling pretty useless, soggy and confusing like a
wet paper bag (ah)
can’t take the weight of nothin’
dry me out
[part 4 — oh no, julia]

excuse me sir
(call me jim)
can i take your coat?
you look a little warm
warm?
warm
warm??

well ma’am
(call me julia)
can’t you see i got some insecurities (oh no)
nothing major just a little bit of everything and everybody hates me
cause i can’t measure up
yeah i’m always letting down
myself and all the people
who have trusted me til now

oh no julia
i think i need a moment
oh i thought i had this under control (please take your time)
oh but julia
i think i need a moment
could you hide me like the next 4 hours or so?
i think i’ve got just the spot lets go
[part 5 — it’s you!]

“could all guests please take their seats
the show is about to begin”

“and now, our first loser of the evening”

it’s you (oh boy!)
you lose (you done lost!)
yeah it’s you (real bad!)
you lose (aw)
you’re a loser (big time buddy!)
who lost (oh boy!)
you didn’t win (not even close)
like a loser
you lose

lose!

it’s you

[part 6 — big deal]

hey there, jim right?
i heard about the loss, tough night

“yeah but you know what?
i actually feel a little better?
now that it’s all over”

hey there, that’s right
these kinds of things always feel like
they matter so much more before they happen
and then they happen

and it’s really not a big deal at all
(and it’s really not a big deal at all)
and it’s really not a big deal at all
(and it’s really not, not a big deal)
and it’s really not a big deal at all
(and it’s really not, not a big deal)
and it’s really not a big deal at all, no it’s not a big deal baby
(and it’s really not, not a big deal)
and it’s really not a big deal at all, no it isn’t

but if you ever need to hide in another coat closet
here’s my number, give me a call (ohh!?)

[part 7 — truce?]

“wow, did this loser just get a phone number?”
“uh, yeah, weird”

can’t we all get along?
just a little not for long
just enough to get me through tonight
i get that you and me we don’t
always agree
but do we always have to fight?
and no
i don’t want to hate you
and yeah
i’d probably replace you
but i think we’re kind of intertwined
so just let me have these little
victories from time to time
and the rest i’ll just
try to be fine

i mean i don’t need validation
but what the h+ll, it was a nomination
(“but you lost”)
“i don’t care”
(“yes you do”)
“i guess that’s fair”
but hey look, i survived

don’t be such an elitist
admit that you kinda need us ( [?] )
maybe, but not tonight
“okay bye…see you soon”
jesus f+cking christ

[outro speech]

“h+llo there
this is, uh, jeremy, from moonlight social
and uh, i don’t want to get into it but at some point, during the process of creating this record, i was coerced by some fans into agreeing to attempting to put bagpipes on this record if they were to send us the bagpipes
uh, i don’t want to get into it. i don’t want to talk about whether or not it was the smart or right thing to do, but it did happen and um, well bagpipes are very hard, and we’re on a deadline
so here is my honest attempt at adding bagpipes to this record
we didn’t say how good the bagpipes had to be, or where they appeared, just that they would, so y’know, promises made, promises kept.”

+what can only be described as the sound of a poor wounded lamb calling out in distress to its mother, family, and loved ones to be followed by the absolute unmerciful slaughter of the entire flock.+
