‼️Conformer‼️
Building on my previous post, I found myself reflecting on the hidden cost of conformity in a man's life.
As I pondered this, Snow’s 1992 hit "Informer" kept playing in my head.
That sparked a thought: what if the lyrics were reimagined to explore the struggles of a 'Conformer'❓
Inspired, I wrote a brief & handed it to ChatGPT. The result❓
A powerful reinterpretation that struck a deep chord within me. It brought ugly tears 😭 to my eyes, as so much of it resonated.
Here it is for you - imagine the sound of Informer in the background as you take it in.
‼️ Conformer ‼️
(Chorus)
Conformer, you know society says to play along, but it feels so wrong,
Still, I find myself stuck where I don’t belong.
Conformer, they say, "Do it this way, follow the plan,"
But deep inside, I know I’m my own man.
(Verse 1)
They told me how to dress, how to act, how to be,
But this façade I wear - it’s choking me.
Living by the script, yeah, it’s weighing me down,
I’m just a shadow of the man I should have found.
Gotta climb this ladder, gotta fit this mold,
But the fire in my soul, it’s growing cold.
Every day, it’s the same, just playing my role,
But there’s a voice in my heart that’s calling me whole.
(Chorus)
(Verse 2)
They measure my worth by the things I own,
But I’m more than a title or a brand I’ve shown.
Taught to suppress, not express who I am,
But a man without purpose ain’t much of a man.
The weight of expectations - it’s hard to bear,
But I’m breaking these chains, I’m coming up for air.
The fear of failure’s been keeping me blind,
But now I see, I gotta rewrite my mind.
(Chorus)
(Bridge)
No more hiding behind what they expect me to do,
I’ve got my own dreams, got my own truth.
It’s time to rise, time to reclaim,
My life, my path—no one else to blame.
I’ll walk through the fire, I’ll face the fear,
Because the real me is finally here.
(Chorus)
(Outro)
Yeah, I’m done with conforming, done with the shame,
From this day on, I’m owning my name.
No more living by what others decree,
I’ve broken the chains - I’m finally free.
