What would your interpretation of the song Admit It by Say Anything? here are the lyrics?

Admit it!



Despite your pseudo-bohemian appearance



And vaguely leftist doctrine of beliefs



You know nothing about art or sex



That you couldn閳ユ獩 read in any trendy New York underground fashion magazine



Prototypical non-conformist



You are a vacuous soldier of the thrift store Gestapo



You adhere to a set of standards and tastes



That appear to be determined by an unseen panel of hipster judges (bullshit)



Giving a thumbs up or thumbs down to incoming and outgoing trends and styles of music and art



Go analog baby, you閳ユ獧e so post-modern



You閳ユ獧e diving face forward into a antiquated path



It閳ユ獨 disgusting, its offensive, don閳ユ獩 stick your nose up at me



Yeah, what do you have to say for yourself



Whoah, whoah, whoah, whoah



Yeah, what do you have to say for yourself



Whoah, whoah, whoah, whoah



You spend your time sitting in circles with your friends



Pontificating to each other



Forever competing for that one moment of self-aggrandizing glory



In which you hog the intellectual spotlight



Holding dominion over the entire shallow pointless conversation



Oh, we閳ユ獧e not worthy



When you walk by a group of quote-unquote normal people



You chuckle to yourself patting yourself on the back as you scoff



It's the same superiority complex



Shared by the high school jocks who made your life a living hell



And makes you a slave to the competitive capitalist dogma



You spend every moment of your waking life bitching about



Yeah, what do you have to say for yourself



Whoah, whoah, whoah, whoah



And I say yeah, what do you have to say for yourself



Whoah, whoah, whoah, whoah



Cause I閳ユ獡 proud of my life and the things that I have done



Proud of myself and the loner I閳ユ獫e become



You閳ユ獧e free to whine, it will not get you far



I do just fine, my car and my guitar



Proud of my life and the things that I have done



Proud of myself and the loner I閳ユ獫e become



You閳ユ獧e free to whine, it will not get you far



I do just fine, my car and my guitar, yeah



Well let me tell you this, I am shamelessly self-involved



I spend hours in front of the mirror, making my hair elegantly disheveled



I worry about how this album will sell



Because I believe it will determine the amount of sex I will have in the future



I self medicate with drugs and alcohol to treat my extreme social anxiety



You are a faker (admit it)



You are a fraud (admit it)



Yeah, you閳ユ獧e living a lie (hey) living a lie (hey) you閳ユ獧e life is living a lie



You don閳ユ獩 impress me (admit it)



You don閳ユ獩 intimidate me (admit it)



Why don閳ユ獩 you bow down, get on the ground, walk this ******* plank (yeah!)



Yeah, what do you have to say for yourself



Whoah, whoah, whoah, whoah



And I say yeah (what do you..)



Proud of my life and the things that I have done



Proud of myself and the loner I閳ユ獫e become



You閳ユ獧e free to whine, it will not get you far



I do just fine, my car and my..



Guitar, guitar go!



I drift drift drift drift drift yeah



I drift drift drift drift drift yeah oh



And I am done with this



I wanna taste the breeze of every great city



My car and my guitar



My car and my guitar



So you'll come to be, made of these, urgent unfulfilled



Oh no no no no no



When I'm dead I'll rest



When I'm dead I'll rest way still



When I'm dead I'll rest, I'll rest



When I'm dead I'll rest, I'll rest



When I'm dead I'll rest, I'll rest



When I'm dead I'll rest, I'll rest



What would your interpretation of the song Admit It by Say Anything? here are the lyrics?

To me, the author is saying that he doesn't need or seek acceptance from anyone.



He is decrying the fact that other people spend their lives attempting or pretending to be superior.



He's not buying into that behavioral construct. For him, all he needs is a guitar and a car, and a deep and continuous love for himself.



He seems not to have grown out of his pubescent roots.
