Better Of Me
Unveiling Heartbreak: Sam Fender's Emotional Odyssey in 'Better Of Me'
Lyrics
It opened up Pandora's box
Opening up Pandora's box signifies unleashing unforeseen consequences or problems.
And it all came rushin' out like water
Things rushed out uncontrollably, similar to water flowing rapidly.
Trapped inside a pressurised valve
Feeling confined and pressured, like being trapped in a pressurized valve.
I lay crooked on the stairs
Lying in a twisted position on the stairs suggests emotional disarray or instability.
Pickin' fights with my reflection
Engaging in self-conflict, possibly battling personal demons symbolized by fighting one's reflection.
Tryna pry out some answers from that idiot
Attempting to extract answers from oneself, characterized as an "idiot."
I spend many days takin' walks around the house that
Reflecting on shared memories by taking walks around the house.
You and I spent all our adolescent nights
Recalling nights spent during adolescence with the person addressed.
You hurt my heart and subsequently I hurt others
Expressing emotional pain caused by the addressed person, leading to hurting others.
And I'm no further than I was before
Despite experiences, feeling unchanged or not making progress.
But you really got the better of me
Acknowledging the impact of the addressed person, who had a significant influence.
But you really got the better of me
Repeating the acknowledgment of being deeply affected by the addressed person.
And I hated you
Expressing strong dislike or resentment towards the addressed person.
I was so jealous of your standin'
Feeling envious and resentful of the addressed person's social status or standing.
And I envied your happy family
Jealousy towards the addressed person's seemingly happy family life.
Oh, I looked like shit
Describing a negative self-image, possibly influenced by emotional struggles.
Stuck in all my vice rotations
Stuck in repetitive, possibly self-destructive behavior patterns.
Tryna find light in every broken soul
Searching for positivity in every person facing challenges or hardships.
I convinced myself
Convincing oneself that the addressed person is just another negative influence to be eliminated.
That you were just another chemical
Viewing the addressed person as a harmful substance that needs to be removed or "sweated out."
I needed to be sweated out
Believing that distancing from the addressed person is necessary for personal well-being.
Until I saw you on the beach
Encountering the addressed person unexpectedly, possibly leading to conflicting emotions.
Birthin' smiles at every passerby
Observing the addressed person spreading joy and happiness to others.
That caught your beautiful eye
The addressed person's attractive qualities catching the attention of others.
But you really got the better of me
Reiterating the profound impact of the addressed person on the singer.
But you really got the better of me
Repeating the acknowledgment of being deeply affected by the addressed person.
But you really got the better of me
-But you really got the better of me
-But you really got the better of me
