Fit Right In
“Fit Right In” is an anthem for the different. The lyrics are a long list of things and occasions that sound weird at first glance, but are wonderful. This song is part of my album “Quarterlife Blues”.
I’m the circle in a field of squares,
the ugly misfit nobody cares
I’m the consonant in the sea of vowels,
the flattest singer in a choir
I’m still in a place I want to be
I’m the acid in a soup of base,
the neutralizer of the disgrace
I’m the rock guitar in an orchestra,
the syncope dancing through the bars
You’ll see that I will fit right in
Embrace the fact that you are special
No need to pass a certain threshold
You are strong, carry on,
your weaker self will overcome
as you see, there’s no need to fit right in
I’m the black sheep in a flock,
the hidden gemstone inside a rock
I’m the four-leaf clover when the game is over,
the wedding guest who will stay sober
I’m still where I want to be
I’m the apple in the midst of pears
the misconception that disappears
I’m the pinch of salt in your single malt
the greyish bread being baked of scald,
the sweet thing in your receipt
Embrace the fact that you are special
No need to pass a certain threshold
You are strong, carry on,
your weaker self will overcome
as you see, there’s no need to fit right in
You are strong, carry on,
your weaker self will overcome
as you see, there’s no need to fit right in
