Song Meaning of “Notice Me” by New Model Army
“Notice Me” by New Model Army is a song about being seen and accepted. The narrator expresses his longing for inclusion and to be valued for being himself, rather than to be judged for his outward appearance or life circumstances. He is tired of being ignored or disrespected by those around him, and he desperately wants recognition and respect. He pleads to those around him to “notice me”, to understand his struggles and recognize his worth. Yet, the narrator also recognizes that change starts from within, and that he needs to be brave and take the leap to be included in society. He will not be afraid to stand up for himself and to embrace his individuality, no matter the outcome. Ultimately, the narrator finds peace in the acceptance of who he is and takes solace in being noticed for being his true self.
