Song meaning of Ako Na Lang by Zia Quizon

Ah, the eternal struggle of being the second choice, am I right? Zia Quizon's "Ako Na Lang" is a profound anthem for all the sad souls out there who just can't seem to catch a break. It's a lamentation of wasted time, as our dear Zia exposes the desperate quest for amusement undertaken by our protagonist in his mind-numbingly boring existence. Ah, the internet, the endless black hole that sucks away all our precious load, with nothing to show for it but a bunch of unanswered texts. And what is our protagonist doing while waiting for something interesting to happen? Oh, just casually scrolling through their contacts, hitting up everyone in a vain attempt to find some excitement. But don't you worry, Zia is here to remind them, in her beautifully sarcastic way, that she's been right there all along, waiting patiently for them to come to their senses. She's practically shouting, "Hey, genius! Instead of dialing random numbers for your entertainment, why not take a moment to recognize the gem that's been right under your nose?" But alas, the plea falls on deaf ears. Our brave Zia cannot help but dream of a world where she's the chosen one, where their twosome becomes the ultimate duo. She longs to be their favorite person to miss, their go-to partner-in-crime, their muse in the jamming sessions and gig duets. But hey, who needs emotional stability and genuine connection when you have caller ID and unlimited calling options? Right? Oh well, Zia, I hope your truth bomb finds its way into their clueless brain. Until then, we'll all be here, laughing at the agony of unrequited love and cheering you on, because you, my dear, deserve so much better than being the last-ditch option. Keep shining, sassy queen!
