I love this version cause you can feel the angst keeps creeping back in and she’s just shoving it back down until it fights it’s way back again. Great way to show how intrusive thoughts feel

[@verdezapo]

I love this version of Imposter Syndrome! The album version is great don't get me wrong, but this one is just so wonderful~

[@pablobarrios7681]

The growly and rough voice just make it so sincere and cool!

[@itz_meh8992]

Unfortunately, I am
My own dog, my own fur companion
My own old lady on a forum
Who types in glittery decorum
Unfortunately, I take
Myself out walking every day and
I hand my legs to the feet and
I give my head to the leash
[Chorus]
Every other day I’m wondering
"What’s a human being gotta be like?
What’s a way to just be competent?"
These sweet instincts ruin my life
Every other day I’m wondering
Was it a mistake to try and define
What I’m certain’s mad incompetence?
These sweet instincts ruin my life
[Verse 2]
I can't smell well, or tell the time
Not K through 8, nor K dash 9
For human, grossly underqualified
For canine, grossly overqualified
I don’t blend in at PetSmart
And that truth remains for the Walmart
'Cause in either case, they say to me
"What the fuck is lost in aisle 3?"
[Chorus]
Every other day I’m wondering
"What’s a human being gotta be like?
What’s a way to just be competent?"
These sweet instincts ruin my life
Every other day I’m wondering
"Was it a mistake to try and define
What I’m certain’s mad incompetence?"
These sweet instincts ruin my life
[Verse 3]
Just watch me, moving far away
Nobody even knows my name and
No one suspects that I’m not fine, and
Nobody outs behavioural Frankenstein
Just look at Victor in LA
And Syd with the "y" at U of A
And all the majors at the labels
Rebooting soon as I am able
[Chorus]
Every other day I'm wondering
"What’s a human being gotta be like?
What’s a way to just be competent?"
These sweet instincts ruin my life
Every other day I’m wondering
"Was it a mistake to try and define
What I’m certain’s mad incompetence?"
These sweet instincts ruin my life

[@irgendwer3610]

I am guessing the song is about being socially awkward

[@kurteisner67]

@@irgendwer3610 It's about imposter syndrome. Duh.

this version is my favorite, filled with such raw emotion and catharsis. absolutely beautiful and really relatable, thank you for sharing this part of yourself with us sid 💙

[@edensorensen8973]

i freakin love this song so much i've had it on repeat for so long it's almost unhealthy

[@korarain8190]

SHES SO GOOD OHMYGOD

[@kait1007]

I know this song is about imposter syndrome, but I feel like it also details how I feel about myself being autistic so extremely well

[@ham3890]

REAL OMG for me specifically the line "nobody outs behavioral Frankenstein" HITS SO HARD bc it describes how i feel while masking so accurately. Like im just a mish mash of learned behaviors and in never really sure if ppl notice that i don't rlly know how to act in social situations bc usually no one says anything.

[@ham3890]

and also just that feeling of not feeling quite "human" bc i process the world differently

[@amira978]
