This is about how confused the world is and being yourself when everyone around is so fake
This was written when I was a teenager :

Its so weird- this world
I dunno who told me
but I've figured it out
you’ve gotta be wrong to be right

I dunno how I learned it
But it hit me one day
I decided that I wanna be myself
Even if it meant I was wrong

But when I look at you
You’re still stuck somewhere there
You make me wanna quit
Until I realize-You're perplexed

The mask you wear
I can see right thru it
Behind all that self assurance
You're just insecure

Maybe u should know
You're on the wrong track
You confuse me so much
But it was only some time back
That it struck me really hard--

Truth hurts

So I’m gonna hang on
Don’t want to be one among you
If there’s one thing ive learnt
It’s being true to the core

Is it really that hard to be real?
Why does it hurt to be right?
Maybe I'm at the wrong place
Wrong time…
