This is a song parody of OneRepublic's "Counting Stars" and based on the show She-Ra and the Princesses of Power, focusing on one of the Horde's former cadets, the cowardly mechanic Kyle.
Lyrically, it's about how Kyle is tired of being mistreated by others, especially Catra, and desires to become a better person despite his shyness, clumsiness and cowardice. Honestly, sometimes you just can't help but feel sorry for the poor guy. Things almost never go well for him and he's constantly blamed for everything. But even though he's always bullied and abused, he's started to grow a spine. He's proven that he can be brave and loyal, and if Catra lashes out at him, he doesn't back down. So, we can pretty much praise him for standing up to himself and his friends in times of need. Hopefully, in some future episodes, things will start to get better for him. Don't you think so?
[Chorus]:
Lately, I've been, I've been stressing out
About all of the things that cause me doubt
But right now, I just want to cut my strings
I should stop worrying, 'cause
I'll be fixing things
Yeah, I'll be fixing things
[Verse 1]:
She treats me like her own punching bag
I think it's just such a drag
I'm tired of hearing her brag
And sick of hearing her nag
I'm really kind of shy
Not a real daring guy
They're always hanging me to dry
I'm just trying to get by
[Pre-Chorus]:
I-I-I-I get in trouble for
Everything I do
I-I-I-I try to succeed at
Whatever I do
I'm not too strong, not too strong, not too strong,
Trying to be evil just feels very wrong
[Chorus]:
Lately, I've been, I've been stressing out
About all of the things that cause me doubt
But right now, I just want to cut my strings
I should stop worrying, 'cause
I'll be fixing things
Lately, I've been, I've been stressing out
About all of the things that cause me doubt
But right now, I just want to cut my strings
I should stop worrying, 'cause
I'll be, I'll be fixing things
Yeah
[Verse 2]:
It's taken me just a little time
I'm starting to grow a spine
Soon I'll start drawing the line
I just want some time to shine
I'm really kind of shy
Not a real daring guy
They're always hanging me to dry
I'm just trying to get by
[Pre-Chorus]:
I-I-I-I get in trouble for
Everything I do
I'm sick of it, sick of it, sick of it
Though I am a coward, I've gotten some grit
[Chorus]:
Lately, I've been, I've been stressing out
About all of the things that cause me doubt
But right now, I just want to cut my strings
I should stop worrying, 'cause
I'll be fixing things
Lately, I've been, I've been stressing out
About all of the things that cause me doubt
But right now, I just want to cut my strings
I should stop worrying, 'cause
I'll be, I'll be fixing things
[Bridge]:
Oh, with the power
Of my wrench
That mean cat woman's
Gonna get benched
With the power
Of my wrench
That mean cat woman's
Gonna get benched
With the power
Of my wrench
That mean cat woman's
Gonna get benched
With the power
Of my wrench
That mean cat woman's
Gonna get benched
[Interlude]:
Trying to be evil just feels very wrong
[Chorus]:
Lately, I've been, I've been stressing out
About all of the things that cause me doubt
But right now, I just want to cut my strings
I should stop worrying, 'cause
I'll be fixing things
Lately, I've been, I've been stressing out
About all of the things that cause me doubt
But right now, I just want to cut my strings
I should stop worrying, 'cause
I'll be, I'll be fixing
[Outro]:
With the power
Of my wrench
That mean cat woman's
Gonna get benched
With the power
Of my wrench
That mean cat woman's
Gonna get benched
With the power
Of my wrench
That mean cat woman's
Gonna get benched
With the power
Of my wrench
That mean cat woman's
Gonna get benched
