LYRICS

I'm watching my friends all succeed,
Honestly, they deserve it,
But I'm selfishly over here asking,
Why not me?
We're all driving to the same place,
I'm just stuck in the slow lane,
I impatiently wait while they me,
Why not me?

When I'm down and biting the dust,
A little voice is shouting get up,
Cause when it hurts,
I'm brushing it off,
Dig down deep and say,

Why not me?
With the odds up against me,
I'm not gonna let me down,
Can't stop me,
Might be down for the count but,
Don't you ever count me out,
I take shots of pain, watch that flicker turn to flame.
Dig down deep,
Say why not me?

Fixated I sharpen my teeth,
Underdogs getting hungry,
I've been biding my time, I've been waiting,
Hide and seek what I'm missing,
The thoughts of me giving up fade away.
Cause I live it, I breathe it, I can't be defeated,
That's when I say...

Hide and seek what I'm missing,
The thoughts of me giving up fade away.
Cause I live it, I breathe it, I can't be defeated,
That's when I say...

[underthependulum]

How do you make a 2 and a half minute song feel like 4 minutes? And I mean that in the best way.

[lau-san]

Gosh, this is in contrast to Elsewhere's other song "As Good As It Gets."
Because AGAIG talks about feeling so unaccomplished and wanting to give up, but Why Not Me continues along to the lyrics of AGAIG, but this time, they're not giving up on the things they want to accomplish.
It's so inspiring. I needed this so much, thank you Set It Off!

[antoniosciacovelli]

I just needed a song like this in this right moment. Getting it as soon as I wake up is incredible

[elusivegamergirl]

After everything I've gone through in the last several years, this song is personally perfect.
I love it because it just *fits.*

[Ethereal.Comatose]

this one is so different but those melodices are *chefs kiss*

[OptimusPhillip]

_We're all driving to the same place_
_I'm just stuck in the slow lane_

When I see all my old classmates getting married and having kids before I'm even finished with college.

[karenleyva]

Este álbum es una locura, es increíble todo lo que hacen

[stormarea]

Set it Off did released at least one song in this album that WILL get right into your deepest feelings. I really appreciate the ideas and the inspiration put in these songs, they just scream the message so well, its okay to be sad. You can sit down here listening to something to warm your heart, you can take a deep breath, and you can cry the hell out of your eyes.
Why Not Me inspire in another way too, it screams that its not over and wont be.

[ElenaGWalker]

este álbum está siendo tremendo en todo sentido, sobre todo líricamente <3

[RedRRD]

[Verse 1]
I'm watching my friends all succeed
Honestly, they deserve it
But I'm selfishly over here asking
"Why not me?"

We're all driving to the same place
I'm just stuck in the slow lane
I impatiently wait while they pass me
Why not me?

[Pre-chorus]
When I'm down, I'm biting the dust
A little voice is shouting, "get up"
'Cause when it hurts, I'm brushing it off
Dig down deep and say

[Chorus]
Why not me?
With the odds up against me
I'm not gonna let me down
Can't stop me
Might be down for the count
But don't you ever count me out

I take shots of pain, watch that flicker turn to flame
Dig down deep, say, "why not me?"

[Verse 2]
Fixated, I sharpen my teeth
Underdogs getting hungry
I've been biding my time, I've been waiting

Hide and seek, what I'm missing
The thoughts of me giving up fade away
'Cause I live it, I breathe it, I can't be defeated
That's when I say, "why not me?"

[Pre-chorus]
When I'm down, I'm biting the dust
A little voice is shouting, "get up"
'Cause when it hurts, I'm brushing it off
Dig down deep and say

[Chorus]
Why not me?
With the odds up against me
I'm not gonna let me down
Can't stop me
Might be down for the count, but
Don't you ever count me out

I take shots of pain, watch that flicker turn to flame
Dig down deep, say "why not me?" Yeah

[Bridge]
Hide and seek, what I'm missing
The thoughts of me giving up fade away
'Cause I live it, I breathe it, I can't be defeated
That's when I say (when I say, when I say)

[Chorus]
Why not me?
With the odds up against me
I'm not gonna let me down
Can't stop me
Might be down for the count, but
Don't you ever count me out

I take shots of pain, watch that flicker turn to flame
Dig down deep, say, "why not me?" Yeah

[Outro]
Why not me? Yeah

[monochrome_hypnotist]

“Dig down deep and say.” (Pre chorus 1)


Chills.

[wolfzanderiina]

This was ... Something else. It touched me on a whole another level. I got chiken skin and my eyes watered just by listening to this.

A song that everyone can relate to on each of it being different levels.

[YuukiPerumi]

I love y'all so much, I just found out today that I did well on my quarter tests and today is the END of it so this is really special to me! Please never stop inspiring people and create music that makes you feel happy, I can't speak for everyone but I'll still be here with you!

[a_random_emma]

Ohhh the dig down deep part hit different in a good way and the "I take shots of pain", so good.

[theoutsiderjess]

This was my life for the past 4 years and the lyrics really hit me deep its one of my favorite song of the album

[Sunnyguyavenue]

The climb in the pre-chorus is so nice

[christinemorris]

I always get worried to listen to bands new music because I might not like it, but I can't seem to hate any set it off songs
