Blueprints
We were made into this world
With no instructions at all
No list of tools that are required
Just a confusing blueprint I recall
When I was little, I remember
I was supposed to be someone
Someone who should be better
Or at least that was the opinion
But it wasn’t so much of a helper
Telling me all I do always stinks
‘Cause in life we are all just a tester
With no tools and just blueprints
I used to follow every single line they drew
But it was never even close enough for them
Tried so hard to meet their plans though
However, they didn’t even try to explain
So what are these blueprints for? (Blueprints for?)
We got no instruction of any kind (Any kind)
I think I won’t follow them anymore (Anymore)
I’ll draw one of my own little designs (Little designs)
When I was younger, I recall
I was supposed to act better
They say nothing breaks the downfall
But I felt slightly like a feather
Look at how slowly I float, y’all
I don’t care what anyone thinks
You can’t make me feel small
‘Cause I’m drawing new blueprints
I used to follow every single line they drew
But it was never even close enough for them
Tried so hard to meet their plans though
However, they didn’t even try to explain
So what are these blueprints for? (Blueprints for?)
We got no instruction of any kind (Any kind)
I think I won’t follow them anymore (Anymore)
I’ll draw one of my own little designs (Little designs)
So what are these blueprints for? (Blueprints for?)
We got no instruction of any kind (Any kind)
I think I won’t follow them anymore (Anymore)
I’ll draw one of my own little designs (Little designs)
Ooh, all their plan fell apart
I was guided by my heart
I’m drawing my own way, ooh
I’m rewriting every stage
So what are these blueprints for? (Blueprints for?)
We got no instruction of any kind (Any kind)
I think I won’t follow them anymore (Anymore)
I’ll draw one of my own little designs (Little designs)
I’m drawing new blueprints

Song info
A rejection of societal expectations and predetermined paths. The blueprint metaphor represents the life plans others impose without providing guidance. The evolution from following others’ designs to creating one’s own reflects a journey toward authentic self-expression and independence.
