"Soft Boy" lyrics

"Soft Boy"

I'm living the dream
It's just one of those dreams where you're losing all your teeth
And if you think that it gets better
Darling, take a look at me
I'm in too deep
It's the same dried ramen in a bowl I'm too lazy to clean
But I'm not drunk texting my ex anymore
I hope my father could be proud of me

Still, I won't wear the cat ears
I won't wear the cat ears
I won't wear the cat ears

It's not an ahegao hoodie, it's a work of art
I get turned on by my reflection in passing cars
I'm looking for a window to another world
Where I don't feel as lost and bored
I just don't wanna be a soft boy anymore
I wanna be yours

I'm living the dream
If you consider the dream to be haircuts and apathy
And if you think that I'll get better
Well, darling, take a look at me
I'm in too deep
It's the same hairstyle that I've had since I was seventeen
And I don't know why
Mother, are you proud of me?

Still, I won't wear the cat ears
I won't wear the cat ears
I won't— I won't wear the cat ears
Please, please, just don't make me wear the cat ears
I'm so done with the cat ears, please

It's not an ahegao hoodie, it's a work of art
I get turned on by my reflection in passing cars
I'm looking for a window to another world
Where I don't feel as lost and bored
I just don't wanna be a soft boy anymore
I wanna be yours

I wanna be yours
I wanna be yours
Oh-oh
It's not an ahegao hoodie, it's a work of art

Wilbur Soot played "Soft Boy" during a live stream on Twitch on the 18th of January, 2021. He also explained in another Twitch stream, "It's scary making the next thing to 'Your New Boyfriend', because 'Your New Boyfriend' was my magnum opus. I don't think I could do anything better, you know? So it's like— making 'Soft Boy', which is, in effect, the sequel to 'Your New Boyfriend'. Well, it's not the sequel, but it's the sequel in my creative works in comedy music. It's scary, you know? It's terrifying." The final version (with backing vocals from Mxmtoon) was released on the 25th of September, 2022.
