We Are The B
Dream High 2
Embracing the Ordinary: The Anthem of the 'B' Group
The song 'We Are The B' by Dream High 2 is a poignant reflection on the lives of individuals who feel ordinary and overlooked. The lyrics begin with the lines 'I am a boy just a boy' and 'I am a girl just a girl,' immediately setting the tone of simplicity and commonality. These lines emphasize that the protagonists see themselves as just another face in the crowd, lacking any special qualities or standout features. This sentiment is further reinforced by phrases like 'nothing special' and 'not particularly pretty,' which highlight their feelings of insignificance and ordinariness.
The chorus, 'We are B B B class life, wanting to become A class,' captures the essence of the song. It speaks to the desire of these 'B class' individuals to rise above their current status and be recognized as 'A class.' This metaphor of grading reflects societal hierarchies and the pressure to excel and be exceptional. The repetition of 'B B B class life' underscores the frustration and yearning for change, while 'wanting to stand in the normal' suggests a longing for acceptance and validation within societal norms.
The song also touches on the emotional struggles of these individuals. Lines like 'more frustrating than my frustrated heart' and 'tired of the expressions of the people around me' convey a deep sense of weariness and emotional exhaustion. Despite these challenges, there is a glimmer of hope in the lyrics. The lines 'someday I will find my specialness inside me' and 'before my dreams run out' suggest a belief in the potential for self-discovery and fulfillment. This hope is a powerful reminder that even those who feel ordinary have unique qualities waiting to be uncovered.
