Song Meaning of “Silly People” by The Muffs
‘Silly People’ by The Muffs is a song about the frustrations of life and the lack of understanding people have toward the emotions of others. The singer laments having to constantly put on a strong face and a confident attitude when they would rather just be allowed to feel their own pain and confusion. They call those that don’t understand ridiculous and silly for not allowing them to be in the moment and experience emotions. And, while the chorus implies that it’s better to just turn their back on those foolish people, the singer suggests it is still hard not to care what others think. In the end, the message is that it’s okay to feel and it’s silly for people to expect anything else.
