Lyrics
They look for picture perfect
Don't look deeper than the surface
Bubblegum always pops and
Stars they fade out, life never stops

I don't do what Simon says
Get the message 'cause it's read
That's just life, it never plays fair
Said to follow any dream
Be a puppet on a string
Works for you but that isn't me

This ain't another pop song 'bout fallin' in love
Or a party song 'bout drinks and drugs
No more singing songs 'bout breakin' my heart
And my lonely nights, dancin' in the dark
If I'm a guilty pleasure, I want this life forever
I'll take it all 'cause anything is better
Than another pop song 'bout fallin' in love
But if you wanna sing along say, "I don't give a what"

A hamster on a wheel
That's how it feels tryna be real
These unrealistic expectations
Said we'll make it if we fake it

I don't do what Simon says
Get the message 'cause it's read
That's just life, it never plays fair
Said to follow any dream
Be a puppet on a string
Works for you but that isn't me

This ain't another pop song 'bout fallin' in love
Or a party song 'bout drinks and drugs
No more singing songs 'bout breakin' my heart
And my lonely nights, dancin' in the dark
If I'm a guilty pleasure, I want this life forever
I'll take it all 'cause anything is better
Than another pop song 'bout fallin' in love
But if you wanna sing along say, "I don't give a what"

No broken bottles
Or glitter on the floor from the night before
Ain't no boy troubles
If that's what you came here for, then you should know that

This ain't another pop song 'bout fallin' in love
Or a party song 'bout drinks and drugs
No more singing songs 'bout breakin' my heart
And my lonely nights, dancin' in the dark
If I'm a guilty pleasure, I want this life forever
I'll take it all 'cause anything is better
Than another pop song 'bout fallin' in love
But if you wanna sing along say, "I don't give a what"

Not a pop song
I don't give a what
Not a pop song
But if you wanna sing along say, "I don't give a what"

How Do You Annotate Pop Music?
At the end of December 2016, I posted this OP as a way to ask the community the question, “How do you annotate pop music?” At the beginning of January 2017, the OP was edited to incorporate the answers into one resource for current and future users who are wondering the same thing. Further discussion is always, always encouraged! What are some priorities that are unique to pop music? Pop music is often more about setting a mood or conveying a feeling over the course of the entire track then it is about the specific lyrics used in each line. Fans often prioritize different things than the lyrics themselves—for instance, a ton of attention may be given to who sings a line on a 1D or 5H song rather than what that line means. Fans want to know who a song is about, particularly if the song is romantic. Even if the song was not written by the artist, they want to associate its themes with the artist’s personal story and brand. Approaching biographical analysis and “gossip” annotations: @s_connois
