The Chattering Lack of Common Sense
Ghost and Pals Lyrics

PICKING NAMES
REPEATING FACES

Everything is show and tell

I could never understand
How first impressions go unplanned
Everybody hides their face
How could I have noticed?

Nonetheless, we're all the same
There's many things from where we came
Show a smile we're rather bored
Nothing lines up anymore

Turn around about a new view
Bring about the fear inside you
Make a storm of tears and anger

NEVERMIND
DON'T WORRY 'BOUT ME

We've disposed of our contention
Do our best; avoid attention
"Just accept the things you know"

WELL MAYBE SO...
WAIT...

What is going on here?
I'm a little out of sorts
I've been contemplating
Fallacies and things that scare me

"Why not try to let go?'
I've been feeling out of order
I'm allowing change so...
Take a good look, this is me

This is what I've come to be
This is what I've come to be

Look away cus we forgot
The apathy that's tied in knots
Hearing now our every thought
HA HA HA HA HA

Everything is show and tell
And things are played off somewhat well
All because we're rather bored
Nothing matters anymore

Moving along
Dancing along
Playing along
I am

Waiting for it
Preparing it
Looking for it
I am

Feeling around
Messing around
Looking at you
I am

Laughing a lot
Losing a lot
Looking at you
I am

What the hell should I do?
I've been feeling out of order
I've been sorta noticing
Fallacies and that see me

Surely you've always known
I'm a little out of sorts
First impressions reborn
This what I've come to be

THIS IS WHAT I SHOULDN'T BE
THIS IS WHAT I WANNA BE

The song "The Chattering Lack of Common Sense" by Ghost and Pals is a contemplative reflection on the monotony of everyday life and the façade that people put up in order to fit in with society. The opening lines of the song, "Basically, I bet you'll see / At first, I'm not quite what I seem / Everyday is just the same," sets the tone for the rest of the song. The lyrics go on to talk about how everyone is essentially the same, and how people hide their true selves behind a mask. The chorus, "Everything is show and tell / And things are played off somewhat well / Holding hands, we're rather bored / Nothing lines up anymore," highlights the lack of authenticity in society.

Throughout the song, the lyrics become increasingly introspective, with the singer questioning their own identity and place in the world. In the second verse, the lyrics say, "I could never understand / How first impressions go unplanned / Everybody hides their face / How could I have noticed?" which suggests that the singer may have been hiding their own true identity. The song culminates in the lines, "What the hell should I do? / I've been feeling out of order / This what I've come to be / This is what I shouldn't be / This is what I wanna be," which suggests that the singer is starting to reject societal expectations and embrace their true self.

Basically, I bet you'll see
I'm not what I seem at first glance

Everyday is just the same
Our lives are monotonous

PICKING NAMES
Categorizing people based on their name

REPEATING FACES
Seeing the same people over and over again

Everything is show and tell
We only show what we want others to see

And things are played off somewhat well
We pretend to have it all together

Holding hands, we're rather bored
We're unenthusiastic about our relationships

Nothing lines up anymore
Things are out of order

I could never understand
I can't comprehend

How first impressions go unplanned
Making judgments on someone based on their looks

Everybody hides their face
Everyone puts on a facade

How could I have noticed?
I wouldn't have been able to tell

Nonetheless, we're all the same
Despite our differences, we're all similar

There's many things from where we came
We all came from different backgrounds

Show a smile we're rather bored
We fake emotions because we're uninterested

Nothing lines up anymore
Things are still out of order

Turn around about a new view
Changing your perspective

Bring about the fear inside you
Confronting what scares you

Make a storm of tears and anger
Letting out your emotions

NEVERMIND
Ignore it

DON'T WORRY 'BOUT ME
Don't concern yourself with me

We've disposed of our contention
We got rid of our conflict

Do our best; avoid attention
We try to blend in

"Just accept the things you know"
Accept what you're familiar with

WELL MAYBE SO...
Maybe that's true

WAIT...
Let me think about it

What is going on here?
What's happening?

I'm a little out of sorts
I'm feeling disoriented

I've been contemplating
I've been thinking about

Fallacies and things that scare me
My fears and misconceptions

"Why not try to let go?'
Why don't you try to let go?

I've been feeling out of order
I've been feeling disorganized

I'm allowing change so...
I'm accepting change

Take a good look, this is me
Look at the real me

This is what I've come to be
This is who I am now

Look away cus we forgot
We forgot about the indifference

The apathy that's tied in knots
The lack of care that's intertwined

Hearing now our every thought
Hearing our innermost thoughts

Everything is show and tell
We're only displaying what we want

And things are played off somewhat well
We're pretending to be okay

All because we're rather bored
Because we're uninterested

Nothing matters anymore
Things don't hold much significance

Moving along
Continuing on

Dancing along
Dancing while moving on

Playing along
Playing while continuing on

I am
I exist

Waiting for it
Anticipating it

Preparing it
Getting ready for it

Looking for it
Searching for it

I am
I exist

Feeling around
Exploring the surroundings

Messing around
Playing around

Looking at you
Observing you

I am
I exist

Laughing a lot
Laughing excessively

Losing a lot
Experiencing losses continuously

Looking at you
Observing you

What the hell should I do?
What should I do?

I've been feeling out of order
I feel disoriented

I've been sorta noticing
I've been partly noticing

Fallacies and that see me
False beliefs that affect me

Surely you've always known
You've always been aware

First impressions reborn
Reevaluating first impressions

This what I've come to be
This is who I am now

THIS IS WHAT I SHOULDN'T BE
I should be different

THIS IS WHAT I WANNA BE
This is who I want to be
