Meaner Girl
Unapologetic Truth: Meaner Girl's Rebellion
Lyrics
The way I hide behind the smile on my face
The speaker conceals her true feelings by presenting a happy demeanor.
Sometimes I wonder if you know that it's fake
Expressing doubt about whether the person she's addressing recognizes the falseness of her smile.
In trying to keep up with the jokes that you tell
Struggling to keep up with and understand the humor in the other person's jokes.
Is it just me or are they stupid as hell?
Questioning the intelligence or sense behind the jokes she's trying to comprehend.
I'm sorry that it all came out at once
Apologizing for revealing her true feelings all at once.
Did I just said that out loud?
Surprised acknowledgment of speaking her thoughts aloud unintentionally.
Gotta let it all hang out
Expressing a need to be open and honest.
Too bad I can't just shut my mouth
Regretting the inability to control her words and keep quiet.
'Cause I'm a mean girl to a meaner girl
Identifying herself as a mean girl to someone even meaner.
Never really liked you
Declaring a lack of genuine liking towards the addressed person.
Just stuck in your world
Feeling trapped or confined in the world of the person being addressed.
It's not my fault that you don't like it
Rejecting responsibility for the other person's dislike and attributing it to honesty.
I'm just telling the truth
Asserting that she's merely stating the truth without malice.
Guess I'm a mean girl, mean girl
Acknowledging herself as a mean girl.
Yeah, mama told me, "honey, always be nice"
Recalling maternal advice to always be nice, contrasting with the father's advice to be decisive.
But daddy told me, "don't you ever think twice"
Highlighting the conflicting guidance received from parents.
I don't need your friendship, do without the gossip
Expressing independence and not valuing the friendship or engaging in gossip.
To be honest, I don't even like your outfit
Criticizing the other person's outfit and expressing a lack of interest.
Maybe I'm a misfit, don't wanna get with it
Considering herself a misfit and rejecting conformity.
But you ain't really nothing and I mean it
Asserting that the other person holds no significance, and the speaker means it sincerely.
'Cause I'm a mean girl to a meaner girl
Repeating the identification as a mean girl to someone even meaner.
Never really liked you
Reiterating the lack of genuine liking for the addressed person.
Just stuck in your world
Emphasizing the feeling of being stuck in the other person's world.
It's not my fault that you don't like it
Repeating the disavowal of fault for the other person's dislike.
I'm just telling the truth
Restating the intention to speak the truth without sugarcoating.
Guess I'm a mean girl, mean girl
Reaffirming the identification as a mean girl.
Tell me how you really feel
Requesting genuine emotions and thoughts from the other person.
For once can you be real
Desiring honesty and authenticity in the other person's expression.
tell me what I wanna hear
Asking for the truth in the response.
You know what I wanna hear
Asserting knowledge of what she wants to hear from the other person.
Used to be my best friend
Reflecting on a past friendship that has now ended.
till we hit a dead end
Indicating a falling out or a point where the friendship took a negative turn.
Now it's just you and your split ends
Commenting on the other person's appearance, possibly negatively.
I hope we never make amends
Expressing a lack of desire to reconcile or repair the relationship.
'Cause I'm a mean girl to a meaner girl
Repeating the identification as a mean girl to someone even meaner.
Never really liked you
Reiterating the absence of genuine liking for the addressed person.
Just stuck in your world
Restating the feeling of being stuck in the other person's world.
It's not my fault that you don't like it
Repeating the denial of fault for the other person's dislike.
I'm just telling the truth
Reiterating the commitment to truth-telling without sugarcoating.
Guess I'm a mean girl, mean girl
