THREE DAYS GRACE

- Expectations Lyrics

Baby, innocence
Is one day gonna be decadence
Prom Queen, Miss America
In the backseat in a pair of cuffs
Sixteen, little runaway
From the Five-O and got away
From a small town with no scene
Looking for a shot on the big screen

Expectations
Go to hell
Expectations
Go to hell

Not so innocent
On the streets hustlin'
Never be Miss America
In the backseat of a Celica
Crashing with a deadbeat
Living large on a love seat
In a small town, no scene
Turns out it was a pipe dream
Expectations
Go to hell
Expectations
Go to hell

Rich girl, wannabe
Bought a quick pick from the lottery
Watching TV with her boyfriend
Fell asleep, left the ticket on the nightstand
He stayed awake to see the ball drop
Turned it way down, she never woke up
Grabbed the keys to her car in the back lot
Through a shot of Jack back, left with the jackpot

Expectations
Go to hell
Prom Queen, Miss America
In the backseat in a pair of cuffs

Expectations
Go to hell
Never be Miss America
In the backseat in a pair of cuffs

What is the meaning behind Expectations lyrics?


When we analyze the meaning behind the words, Three Days Grace's Expectations is a critique of society and the unrealistic standards imposed on people that employs the metaphor of a 'prom queen, Miss America' to illustrate unattainable ideals. The tune points out the hardships and disillusionments caused by these expectations, and finally, it implies that they are to be disregarded. The Expectations lyrics mainly portray angst, anger, empowerment, reflection and despair. Conversely, the song insists on the importance of rebellion against expectations, escapism and disillusionment, and the chasing of dreams and reality. The song lyrics include the motifs of running away, hustling on the street, and portraying adult activities such as being in the backseat of a car in cuffs. It also has some foul language and situations that imply mature contexts, thereby making it unsuitable for younger children without parental supervision.
