The song "Main Character" by Zach Hood tells the story of unrequited love and the feeling of always being the "other guy" in someone's story. The narrator expresses how they have tried so hard and given their heart to this person, only to be left under their mattress, forgotten. The narrator acknowledges that they will never be the main character in this person's life, only a fleeting character who doesn't even get a line in their stories. They have tried to be like Romeo, but the person they love has only stabbed them in the heart. Despite this, the narrator still holds onto their love for this person and accepts that they will always be the main character in their own story. They will continue to tell their own stories, even if they are not included in this person's tale. Overall, "Main Character" is a poignant reflection on unrequited love and the painful realization that sometimes, we cannot be someone's main character in their story.
