Chords for BoyWithUke "Migraine" Official Lyrics & Meaning | Genius Verified

So I originally started wearing the mask because I'm a very anxious person and my friends,
if they had found out that I was the one making music like the music that I was making, they
would have just [Ab] roasted me to death.
Three years later, I've reached a point where I don't need the training wheels anymore.
I should be happy with who I am and I should be able to express myself.
Everyone has told me this is [Em] a bad career choice.
Maybe it is, but fuck it.
This is what I wanted to do.
_ _ _ _ [C] _ _ [B] _
_ [Em] _ _ _ _ The [N] feeling of wanting to take the mask off started around the time I wrote Migraine.
It was me taking control again of Boy With Uke.
I felt very good about the decision. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Obviously I felt a lot of pressure.
It felt like I needed to just continue blowing up on TikTok.
If I didn't, [Abm] I would fail and I'd lose everything.
Obviously that's not true.
It's an irrational fear, but when you're in the process, I feel like a blowing up really
fast one slip up and it's like, you're gone.
You fall.
Like when you're on a tightrope.
I've never been on a tightrope, but it was ultimately just like a fear of losing it all. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

It's literally impossible to make new friends.
I can't talk about what I do.
A few months ago this summer, I met a new person.
It was my friend's friend and he was actually a Boy [N] With Uke fan.
He had no idea I was Boy With Uke, but we were talking and he was like,
Hey man, what do you do? _
Why are you here?
And I was like, oh, I'm a project manager for Snapchat.
And he was asking me questions.
I was like, yeah, you know, yeah.
I'm not actually supposed to talk about this that much.
It's not supposed to be public.
And he's like, oh yeah, I understand.
But it's so funny because he's a fan and he had no idea. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ That was what I genuinely [E] felt like a few years ago.
It was really in theme of who I was and what Boy With Uke was [G] at the time.
[Bb] It didn't matter if people knew [E] Boy With Uke or knew the person behind the mask.
It was just this desire to [G] be heard by everyone.
But if I could rewrite that line, I'd probably [Abm] say, I'm not stressed that you've never heard of me.
You can listen to me if you want. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

When you hop off the highway, the highway is a metaphor for, [Em] I guess, the music industry.
You [Gb] can't stop.
If you stop, other people will start, they'll go past you.
You can't turn around.
It's just nonstop.
Sometimes you just want to _ get off of it.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ I was supposed to sample the Roblox oof.
It is like a dying sound.
Like when you die, it goes, oof, oof, oof.
And I wanted to use that in a song.
The paperwork would have been a headache because it's not even Roblox's sound.
So I just said oof with my own voice.
_ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Looking back now, the biggest thing that was trapping me, I think, was the mask.
Even if it was just in my own head, I couldn't get away from that.
Without the mask, I can breathe a lot easier and I can see a lot better too.
It's a nice change to be [G] able to see my hands.
Inside, I feel relieved.
You know?
Free.
I feel free now. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
The beginning of the third verse sort of comes from, I guess, a more youthful side of who
I am and just wanting to do as many things as I can before I die. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ So the ending of the third verse, first of all, it's very difficult to perform.
There's no more air [G] in my lungs by the time I'm done with it.
Which I think is cool because it sort of reflects how I feel in my career now.
It's not about having the most numbers.
It's more so just making what I personally think is really cool.
[A] _ _ _ [F] It sucked wearing it.
I get physically ill from thinking about putting it on.
It didn't smell very good, especially after hot days.
It's like sensory _ deprivation when you need all your senses.
I couldn't see.
I couldn't breathe.
I couldn't smell.
I couldn't hear.
[N] I couldn't keep
