Casual drug reference, identity struggles, mild mature themes
Detailed Analysis
These lyrics explore themes of identity, social belonging, and the tension between fitting in with different social groups. There is one reference to drug use ('You still get high') which warrants parental guidance. The song also touches on mental health themes such as depression and feeling like an outsider. There is no explicit language, sexual content, or violence. The overall message deals with the complexity of identity and social dynamics as one grows up, which is a relatable but moderately mature theme. The drug reference is casual and not glorified, but still notable for younger audiences.

Lyrics
Your happy friends call you depressing 'Cause you wonder why we're all alive Your downer friends think you're too happy, too happy 'Cause you still celebrate sometimes Your hippie friends call you a sellout 'Cause you buckle down and get a job You still get high, but you're no hippie, no hippie But all your work friends think you are I guess the last time you had any fun Was way back when you weren't anyone So goodbye ordinaryish people We had quite the run, didn't we, though? But you gotta be somebody sometime I don't wanna pack up and leave, though When you're nobody, then nobody minds Your pretty friends, they call you ugly Your ugly friends, they call you vain No, you're not stupid, you're just special, special Well, that's what all your smart friends say I guess the last time you had any fun (Oh, the last time you had any fun) Was way back when you weren't anyone (Way back when you weren't anyone) So goodbye ordinaryish people We had quite the run, didn't we, though? But you gotta be somebody sometime I don't wanna pack up and leave, though When you're nobody, then nobody minds Your attention, please Please, please yell if you're paying attention I don't wanna pack up and leave, though When you're nobody, then nobody minds
