Gartland, Orla - Imposter Lyrics






I'm looking in the mirror but that's not me
It's someone else who looks a little like me
But they're trying way too hard
I go outside in borrowed clothes and borrowed shoes
It seemed like the most logical thing to do
But it's not safe to go out in the middle of the night

But it's all my head has got
To be everything I'm not
Take me and paint me by numbers
But it's all my head can try
And it happens every night
I'm not your sister or brother

I'm an imposter, I know
I'm an imposter, I know
I'm an imposter, I know
And I'm loving the bluffing, but I really know nothing, no
I really know nothing, no

I wile away the weeks with a sour face
Knowing now that someone else has took my place
They're still trying way too hard
I wished for this I know, but now I take it back
I'll return as the slowest in the wolf pack
Now those old flaws seem like bliss
Just give me anything but this

Oh, I'm an imposter, I know
I'm an imposter, I know
I'm an imposter, do you think they know
And I'm loving the bluffing, but I really know nothing, no
I really know nothing, no

And now the party stops
And all the bodies go back to their owners, it's horribly normal again
Sweaty and confused, I look around the room
I'm just like all of the others

Oh, I'm an imposter, I know
I'm an imposter, I know
I'm an imposter, do you think they know
And I'm loving the bluffing, but I really know no no
Oh, I'm an imposter, I know
I'm an imposter, I know
Oh, I'm an imposter, do you think they know
And I'm loving the bluffing, but I really know nothing, no

    I love this song so much, I relate it to myself being non-binary and feeling like an "imposter" in any gender (I'm not your sister or brother) <3
    I want everyone to know that the wolf pack travels at the pace of the slowest(oldest or injured) wolf - they put that wolf up front to make sure it doesn't get left behind or struggle to keep up.

  38. R.... B....

    That sudden stop at the ending, the 3 seconds of pause, and then the eyebrow raise at the ending like "I've just got it", loved it. Aswell as the whole song, nice work!
