Hedley - Narcissist

Song: Narcissist

Artist: Hedley

Album: Famous Last Words

Hedley is a Canadian pop/rock band from British Columbia.

I started listening to Hedley because it's Jacob Hoggard's band. Jacob Hoggard came in third on the second season of Canadian Idol, and to be honest that season of Canadian Idol and the Adam Lambert season of American Idol were the only seasons of either idol that I found worth watching. The song Narcissist is about......well people being narcissistic. I think the song is about how so many people think only of themselves and believe that physical appearance is the most important thing. I think North American society also encourages this attitude a lot of the time. I really, really like this song.

"Narcissist"

The has been high school hero
He's first in line in his whole mind and doesn't care about the rest
A handsome half wit zero
He'll be your friend until the end if you're the coolest and the best

He falls in love with his reflection in the glass
He can't resist who's staring back

He makes a case
That all you've ever needed is a pretty face
But the bottom line about it is a 'never was' is all he'll ever be
He can't resist the paranoid delusions of a narcissist
It doesn't matter anyways cause he's a self fulfilling prophesy
Of make believe

She's a suburban princess
She's had it all since she was small and sucking on a silver spoon
Another gold card purchase
This daddy's girl thinks the whole world revolves around her like the moon

Each day's a film premiere where all the boys will stare
She pretends she doesn't care

She makes a case
That all you've ever needed is a pretty face
But the bottom line about it is a 'never was' is all she'll ever be
She can't resist the paranoid delusions of a narcissist
It doesn't matter anyways cause she's a self fulfilling prophesy
Of make believe
Of make believe
Of make believe

And on the day he met her
The high pretension of their love connection all but sealed the deal
Happily ever after who better for each other than another candidate to

Make a case
That all they've ever needed is a pretty face
But the bottom line about it is a 'never was' is all they'll ever be
They can't resist the paranoid delusions of a narcissist
But they're together anyways and share their self obsessed reality
We can't resist the paranoid delusions of a narcissist
It doesn't matter anyway cause we're a self fulfilling prophecies
Of make believe
Of make believe
Of make believe
Of make believe
