Lyrics

Mistaken For Grandeur

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I left it all

Just a little late

Kept saying all

Or nothing

What I once thought

Meant doing great,

Will seem fuck-all

For nothing

Time,

It looked like

It would wait

'Till I came through with something

Or that failure,

It could be great,

Just as long as you live with something.

But that something,

It seems,

Just a little more complex

Than it used to be

So if failure

Is what's

To be,

I had better be sure

To fail

Spectacularly

'Cos

I'm special

And you should feel what I'm feeling now

So greatness, hey hey

Please do not allude me now.

Some special,

Had better translate itself somehow,

'Cos this failure-ha-ha

It seems much less poetic now.

Please,

Please pull me down.

I'm losing sight of the ground.

Please,

Please pull me down.

Plant my feet back on the ground.

I'm waiting here for something great

I could be waiting here forever

Waiting here forever

I'm holding out for something great

I could be holding out forever

Holding out holding out

I'm waiting here for something great

I could be waiting here forever

Waiting here forever

I'm holding out for something great

I could be holding out forever

Holding out holding out

For something,

That seems,

Just a little more complex

Than it used to be

So if failure

Is what's

To be,

I will be sure

To fail

Spectacularly

'Cos

I'm special

And you should fear what I'm feeling now

So greatness, hey hey,

Please do not allude me now.

Some special,

Had better translate itself somehow,

'Cos this failure-ha-ha

It seems much less poetic now.

I'm special.

You should fear what I'm feeling now

So greatness, hey hey,

Please do not allude me now.

Some special,

Had better translate itself somehow,

'Cos this failure-ha-ha

It seems much less poetic now

Please pull me down, down.

I'm losing sight of the ground.

Please, please pull me down

I'll find my feet back on the ground.
