Lyrics

I took my pills to feel better

Took medication for improvement in well-being

I hated them too

Expressed dislike towards the pills

They never worked

Medication was ineffective

Yeah I'm sick of being that girl

Fed up with the role of being a certain type of person

Don't want to be one anymore

Desire to change and no longer identify with that role

And if I told you I'm perfect

Raising the question of personal perfection

Oh would you like that?

Posing the question to others if they would like the claim of perfection

I bet you would

Anticipating a positive response to claiming perfection

And if I told you I'm worthless would you like that?

Raising the issue of personal worthlessness

I bet you would

Expecting a positive response to claiming worthlessness


I had a black eye for weeks yeah

Physical evidence of a difficult or challenging experience

Ran from my friends yeah

Isolation from friends after the challenging experience

then slammed the door

Emotional reaction to the experience, shutting others out

I bought a new chain to feel bigger

Material possession acquired for self-esteem

Saved all my money

Financial discipline despite personal challenges

Never worked

Reiteration of the ineffectiveness of medication

And if I told you I'm perfect I bet you'd like that

Raising the question of personal perfection again

I bet you would

Expecting a positive response to claiming perfection

And if I told you I'm worthless would you like that?

Raising the issue of personal worthlessness again

I bet you would

Expecting a positive response to claiming worthlessness


The universe maybe hates me but maybe lately I'm good again

Contemplating the possibility of being favored by the universe

And all my thoughts just feel stupid

Self-critical thoughts acknowledged as irrational

I'll try much harder to your friend

Commitment to making more effort to be a better friend

And if I told you I'm perfect would you like that?

Raising the question of personal perfection once more

I bet you would

Anticipating a positive response to claiming perfection

And if I told you I'm worthless would you like that?

Raising the issue of personal worthlessness again

I bet you would

Expecting a positive response to claiming worthlessness


Run run to the sun

Encouraging action towards a brighter future

Run run to the sun

Reiteration of the call to pursue positivity

Get that cash and don't look back

Advocating financial success and leaving the past behind

Run run to the sun

Repetition of the call to move towards the sun (positivity)

Run run to the sun

Continued emphasis on moving towards the sun

Get that bag heavy stacks

Encouraging the pursuit of financial prosperity

Things get a little better now

Expressing belief in improvement

I think they are

Positive outlook on the current situation

I think they should

Positive expectation for the future


Shit feels a little harder now

Acknowledging increased difficulty in current circumstances

I think we are

Belief in collective improvement

I think they would

Positive expectation for collective improvement
