Discover the story of the song > What About Me? – Moving Pictures

The lyrics are about a little boy and a pretty girl who work at a corner shop. The boy feels like no one pays attention to him and treats him badly, while the girl feels like her dreams keep coming and going without any progress. They both feel like they aren't getting their fair share of life and want to be seen and heard. In the end, the protagonist realizes that nobody has changed or been helped by their actions, and they feel lonely and cold. They wish for more in life and feel like they give more than they receive. They question why others always take more than they give. The song concludes with the protagonist repeating "What about me?" multiple times, expressing their frustration and desire to be acknowledged.
