The Same by Alex G

Released: August 9, 2011

Genre: Indie Rock

I listened to this song on unreleased Alex G playlists on Soundcloud for a year or so until the album Race got an official streaming release in 2021. I was so happy. I remember I made an art piece inspired by this song and posted it to instagram. That's how you know a song is good haha. I love Alex's whiney voice proclaiming "I'm not the same". So special.

Lyrics:

I was a girl

I was the only kid in the world, I thought I knew

What it meant to you

But I'm wrong

I'm wrong, I'm wrong

I'm not okay

In fact, I'm sick today, I'm on the floor

It's such a bore

It's nothing new to you

I'll be downstairs, let me do my hair

And put my makeup on, it feels so wrong

You say "Rock on"

I'm not the same

Everybody wants you, yeah

Everybody loves you

Your smile, your teeth, your hair

They don't know you're not there

They don't know you're not there

Too fast, too slow, too late

You are never gonna make it

You're never gonna make it

(I'm not the same)

I'm wrong, I'm wrong

It's such a bore

It's nothing new to you

And put my makeup on, it feels so wrong

You say "Rock on"

I'm not the same

Everybody wants you, yeah

Everybody loves you

They don't know you're not there

They don't know you're not there

Too fast, too slow, too late

You are never gonna make it

You're never gonna make it
