I Can Hear That
Embrace Mediocrity: I Can Hear That by Emilie Moutet
Lyrics
Okay, so you’re saying
Expressing acknowledgment or agreement with the statement made.
I've done a very bad thing
Admitting to having committed a significant mistake or error.
My songs are lame and your ears are stinging
Suggesting self-awareness of the perceived low quality of the speaker's songs and the negative impact on the listener.
I can hear that, I can hear that
Acknowledging the ability to perceive and understand the criticism or negative feedback.
Now let's take a moment and see where you're going I'll give you some time to express what you're meaning
Encouraging the listener to express their thoughts and feelings, allowing time for communication.
Choose your words well, choose your words well
Advising the listener to carefully choose their words in the upcoming conversation.
Cause I've got my own words ready to spill
Asserting readiness to express the speaker's own perspective or opinions.
And I don't need your mirror to see how I'm looking I'm feeling fine, no matter what you think
Rejecting the need for external validation (mirror) and expressing self-confidence regardless of others' opinions.
I can hear that ‘cause I already think I’m mediocre
Recognizing a pre-existing belief in the speaker's mediocrity, independent of external opinions.
And I don’t need anyone to remind me why
Stating independence from needing reminders about perceived shortcomings.
I can hear that ‘cause I already think I’m getting stronger And I don’t need anyone
Affirming a belief in personal growth and strength without external validation.
I bet now you're feeling a little small in your pants But there's room for both of us in this place
Addressing potential feelings of inadequacy in the listener but asserting there's space for both parties.
You don't need to brag, you don't need to brag
Discouraging the need for boasting or showing off.
You say that you know better than me what I should do But if you’re so smart, why not take the mic
Challenging a claim that the listener knows better, suggesting they take action if they are indeed more capable.
And do it yourself, just do it yourself ?
Encouraging the listener to take control and demonstrate their claimed superiority.
Cause I've got my own words ready to spill
Reiterating readiness to express the speaker's own thoughts and perspectives.
And I don't need your mirror to see how I'm looking I’m feeling fine, no matter what you think and
Reaffirming self-confidence and rejecting the need for external validation.
I can hear that ‘cause I already think I’m mediocre
Repeating the acknowledgment of self-perceived mediocrity, independent of external opinions.
And I don’t need anyone to remind me why
Reiterating independence from needing reminders about perceived shortcomings.
I can hear that ‘cause I already think I’m getting stronger And I don’t need anyone
Reaffirming belief in personal growth and strength without external validation.
I can hear that ‘cause I already think I’m mediocre
Repeating the acknowledgment of self-perceived mediocrity, independent of external opinions.
And I don’t need anyone to remind me why
Reiterating independence from needing reminders about perceived shortcomings.
I can hear that ‘cause I already think
Reaffirming belief in personal growth and strength without external validation.
I’m getting stronger And I don’t need anyone
Emphasizing increasing strength and independence from external validation.
