Nominated! Songtext
von Moonlight Social

Welcome to your new life
This is what it feels like
To finally break through that glass
And all of the doubters, haters and fakers
Can get in line
To kiss this ass
Whoever said you can′t be friends
With the voices in your head?

That's right! Congrats! You think you finally made it
Nominated! But did you really make it?
It′s not like you have won anything yet
The world out there it sure seems lovely
But here in your brain it's a little more troubling
All these demons and none of us paying rent
Just asking so many little questions

Like who do you think you are?

Impostor syndrome is a psychological occurrence in which an individual doubts their skills, talents, or accomplishments and has a persistent internalized fear of being exposed as a fraud. Despite external evidence of their competence, those experiencing this phenomenon do not believe they deserve success or luck. They may think that they are deceiving others because they feel as if they are not as intelligent as they outwardly portray themselves to be. Impostor syndrome can stem from and result in strained personal relationships and can hinder individuals from achieving their full potential in their fields of interest.


I'm a total mess
I got no business being here
But oh, nonetheless
I′m standing next to very pretty people

What a time to be alive
Everybody smells like candles baby
And I′m just trying to survive
All these questions and cameras, oh god

Oh what a drag
I'm feeling pretty useless, soggy and confusing like a
Wet paper bag
Can′t take the weight of nothin'
Dry me out

Oh what a drag
I′m feeling pretty useless, soggy and confusing like a
Wet paper bag
Can't take the weight of nothin′
Dry me out

Excuse me sir (call me Jim), can I take your coat?
You look a little warm

Warm?
Warm
WARM??


Well ma'am (call me Julia) can't you see I got some insecurities
Nothing major just a little bit of everything and everybody hates me
Cause I can′t measure up
Yeah I′m always letting down
Myself and all the people
Who have trusted me til now

Oh no Julia
I think I need a moment
Oh I thought I had this under control
Oh but Julia
I think I need a moment
Could you hide me like the next 4 hours or so?

Could all guests please take their seats
the show is about to begin

And now, our first loser of the evening

It's you
You lose
Yeah It′s you
You lose
You're a loser
Who lost
You didn′t win
Like a loser
You lose
Lose!
It's you

Hey there, Jim right?
I heard about the loss, tough night
Yeah but you know what?
I actually feel a little better
Now that it′s all over

Hey there, that's right
These kinds of things always feel like
They matter so much more before they happen
And then they happen

And it's really not a big deal at all

But if you ever need to hide in another coat closet
Here′s my number, give me a call

Wow, did this loser just get a phone number?
Uh, yeah, weird

Can′t we all get along?
Just a little not for long
Just enough to get me
I get that you and me we don't
Always agree
But do we always have to fight?

And no
I don′t want to hate you
And yeah
I'd probably replace you
But I think we′re kind of intertwined

So just let me have these little
victories from time to time
And the rest I'll just
try to be fine

I mean I don′t need validation
But what the hell, it was a nomination
(But you lost)
I don't care
(Yes you do)
I guess that's fair
But hey look, I survived

Don′t be such an elitist
Admit that you kinda need us
Maybe, but not tonight
Okay bye... see you soon
Jesus fucking christ
