Lyrics That Yearn

The lyrics of “The Unchosen” are a soulful plea from a Super Smash Bros. underdog, packed with themes of identity and success that let you unplug from reality. Here’s a closer look:

• Opening Longing: “Will I ever be on your mind / You skip right past me” sets a tone of quiet ache, capturing the character’s invisibility. “Why did you put me at the end of the line / That’s where it’s lonely” paints a vivid game-world isolation, far from real-world stress.
• Faint Hope: “And over and over again / I just want a chance to begin” shows their persistence, while “But am I just wasting time thinking I’ll be chosen” adds a pang of doubt, hooking you into their fight.

• Sideline Dreams: “Spend my days dreaming of all the wins / That won’t be coming” and “Though I’m not in demand / Do the best that I can” reflect their struggle, keeping the fantasy alive with effort despite neglect.
• Defiant Resolve: “I won’t let it break me / I won’t let it change me” and “One day someone’s gonna choose me” shift to hope, while “You know I’m always waiting / Just tell me when you want to win” ends with a bold promise, making you root for their rise.

Lyrics:

Will I ever be on your mind
You skip right past me
Why did you put me at the end of the line
That’s where it’s lonely
And over and over again
I just want a chance to begin
But am I just wasting time thinking I’ll be chosen

There’s always one in front of me
Last is who I’ve always been
Won’t see you at the party
Cause I’m The Unchosen
I’m The Unchosen

Spend my days dreaming of all the wins
That won’t be coming
Though I’m not in demand
Do the best that I can
Fighting from the sidelines again

There’s always one in front of me
Last is who I’ve always been
Won’t see you at the party
Cause I’m The Unchosen
I’m The Unchosen

I won’t let it break me
I won’t let it change me
I’ve come to terms with your unbelief
Sometimes It kinda makes me laugh
But you ignore the simply holograph
One day someone’s gonna choose me
But until that day

There’s always one in front of me
Last is who I’ve always been
Won’t see you at the party
Cause I’m The Unchosen

You know I’m always waiting
Just tell me when you want to win
I know the day is coming
When I’ll be the chosen
