The meaning of the lyrics of the song "Rumor Mill" by the artist "We Are The In Crowd"

In the song "Rumor Mill" by We Are The In Crowd, the lyrical protagonist expresses her frustration and disappointment with a person who tries to control her life and mold her personality to fit their standards.

The lines "Here we go again living like you're calling the shots before I even do and I'm sick of it" convey a feeling of constant pressure and lack of free will. The protagonist is tired of the gossip ("rumor mill") and imposed expectations that prevent her from being herself.

The phrase "Picking up the pieces leaving all the dust behind" can be interpreted as a metaphor for overcoming a difficult past. The protagonist and her loved ones tried to piece their lives back together, but this person's interference is ruining their efforts.

She doesn't understand what gives them the right to decide what's best for her ("What makes you think you know what's best for me?") and feels like they don't see her true self ("And I don't think you wanna see what's inside").

Ultimately, the protagonist declares her independence and determination not to give in to pressure. She won't let anyone control her life or change who she is. The song is a manifesto of self-determination and the struggle for the right to be yourself.

Here we go again,

It's like you're calling all the shots before I shoot them,

And I hate that.

Every time I turn my back I wonder

What you'll say to make me sound

Like someone different?

It's not worth it anymore!

We've been picking up the pieces

Leaving all the dust behind.

Sick of all the pressure

You're just wasting time.

And I don't ever wanna know what it feels like

To be a shadow of myself,

And I don't ever wanna come back down from this feeling.

What makes you think that you know what's better for me?

And I don't think you wanna see what's underneath.

You made up version of me...

There you go again believing

That the truth is what you're reading,

Talk some shit I haven't heard before.

If you've got something to say,

Don't wanna talk about it.

If you need someone to blame,

Don't wanna cry about it.

I measure life in minutes but these critics think

They've got me figured out.

We've been picking up the pieces

Leaving all the dust behind.

Sick of all the pressure

You're just wasting time.

And I don't ever wanna know what it feels like

To be a shadow of myself,

And I don't ever wanna come back down from this feeling.

What makes you think that you know what's better for me?

And I don't think you wanna see what's underneath,

You made up version of me...

I lost the strength to keep my grip on the reality that

Everything from day to day

Is fading from my memory but

I'll never let this grow out of my control

And watch your steps, so

You don't fall into this hole you've dug alone,

This hole you've dug alone...

And I don't ever wanna know what it feels like

To be a shadow of myself,

And I don't ever wanna come back down from this feeling.

What makes you think that you know what's better for me?

And I don't think you wanna see what's underneath,

You made up version of me...

You made up version of me...
