Look at Me
Self-Obsession Symphony: Echoes of Modern Narcissism
Lyrics
He says "I am not romantic come give me a kiss".
Expressing a lack of romantic inclination, requesting a kiss.
She says "I'm the silent type. Come over here sit in this,
The speaker, being more introverted, invites the other person to sit close.
I say that I am lost and you're a road to follow.
Expressing feelings of being lost and seeing the other person as a guide.
I say we're all inside ourselves so often these days,
Reflecting on how people often remain within their own thoughts frequently.
And somehow we think we're the next best thing to heaven.
Belief that individuals often perceive themselves as almost heavenly or exceptional.
All so busy with our failures and all our glories.
People are preoccupied with both their failures and successes.
Everybody's saying "Look at me! Look at me!"
Emphasizing the prevalent desire for attention and validation.
Everybody's certain they've got something on one
Everyone is convinced they possess something unique that others cannot perceive.
Else can see. Tears are falling, causes are
Tears are shed, and problems arise, yet the focus remains on self-presentation.
Calling but everybody's saying "Yea, I know but look at me".
Despite acknowledging issues, the primary concern remains personal validation.
Psycho eyes and monster thighs, she preaches to for
Describing a person with unsettling eyes and a self-righteous attitude preaching on TV.
The TV "Just give me some money and I swear I'll save
Offering salvation in exchange for money, claiming to save others' souls.
Your soul. It's easy. You can read the good book
Indicating using religious texts to induce feelings of guilt or inadequacy.
To feel bad about yourself. Just one small donation
Implying that a small donation can absolve someone of damnation.
Could save you from burning down in hell. High and mighty yea!
Critiquing the focus on small-scale acts while larger problems are neglected.
Can't save the ocean but we sure can save a dime.
Highlighting the neglect of significant global issues despite personal appearances.
We may all look good but I think we're running out of time.
Suggesting that despite looking good, humanity's time to address critical issues is limited.
If we looked around as much as we look at ourselves.
Advocating for greater awareness of others' struggles instead of self-absorption.
Stop listening to gossip and start listening to cries for help.
Encouraging a shift from focusing on gossip to paying attention to cries for help.
Everybody's saying "Look at me ! Look at me !" Everybody's
Reiterating the widespread desire for attention and acknowledgment.
Certain they've got something no one else can see.
Restating the belief in possessing something unique from others' perspectives.
The earth is drying. Planets are dying. Everybody's saying,
Expressing concern about environmental issues amid self-centered attitudes.
"Yea, I know but look at me !"
Despite acknowledging global problems, personal validation remains paramount.
