Everything Is Not As It Seems
Selena Gomez Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Well you know everything is gonna be a breeze
That the end will no doubt justify the means
You could fix any problem at the slightest ease
Yes, please

Well you might find out it'll go to your head
When you write a report on a book you never read
With the snap of your fingers you can make your bed
That's what I said

Everything is not what it seems
When you can get all you wanted in your wildest dreams
You might run into trouble if you go to extremes
Because everything is not what it seems

Everything is not what it seems
When you can have what you want by the simplest of means
Be careful not to mess with the balance of things
Because everything is not what it seems

Overall Meaning

In Selena Gomez's song Everything Is Not As It Seems, she sings about how things are not always as they seem on the surface. The song starts off with the idea that everything will be easy and problems can be solved easily, which is a common misconception people have. However, as the song continues, she warns that everything is not what it seems and that there can be negative consequences when you take things to the extreme.


The lyrics suggest that people should be careful not to mess with the balance of things and that getting everything you want can cause more harm than good. The last line of the chorus states that "everything is not what it seems" which serves as a reminder that life is not always as simple as it appears and can have hidden complexities that need to be considered.


The song's message seems to communicate the idea that life can be unpredictable and that things can change quickly. People should be cautious about what they wish for because they may not know the consequences of obtaining their desires. Selena's song is a reminder to be patient and mindful in all we do.

You feel assured that everything will be easy


That the end will no doubt justify the means
Your actions will have no negative consequences


You could fix any problem at the slightest ease
You have the ability to solve any issue with minimal effort


Yes, please
You eagerly desire this idealistic life


Well you might find out it'll go to your head
These abilities and beliefs may make you overly confident


When you write a report on a book you never read
Your arrogance may lead you to pretend to know things you don't


With the snap of your fingers you can make your bed
You have unearned privileges that allow for nonchalant actions


That's what I said
This is the reality you're living in


Everything is not what it seems
Your idealistic beliefs are unrealistic and misleading


When you can get all you wanted in your wildest dreams
Your desires and expectations are unrealistic


You might run into trouble if you go to extremes
Your actions can have negative consequences


Because everything is not what it seems
Your current beliefs and lifestyle are not sustainable


Everything is not what it seems
You must accept that your idealistic world is not the reality


When you can have what you want by the simplest of means

Lyrics


[Verse 1]
Well, you know everything's gonna be a breeze
That the end will no doubt justify the means
You can fix any problem with the slightest of ease
Yes, please
But you might find out it'll go to your head
When you write a report on a book you never read
With the snap of your fingers, you can make your bed
That's what I said


[Refrain]
Everything is not what it seems
When you can get all you wanted in your wildest dreams
You might run into trouble if you go to extremes
Because everything is not what it seems


[Verse 2]
There's always a lotta people that you need to see
But you got a quick way to get from A to B
Just be careful of who's aware of your reality
You know what I mean!
There's a whole other world that you only know
When you can make yourself invisible from head to toe
But understand, it's not the status quo
Oh, careful what you show!


[Chorus]
Everything is not what it seems
When you can get all you wanted in your wildest dreams
You might run into trouble if you go to extremes
Because everything is not what it seems
Everything is not what it seems
When you can have what you want by the simplest of means
Be careful not to mess with the balance of things
Because everything is not what it seems


[Breakdown]
Oh, oh-oh
Ohh-oh, oh
Oh, oh-oh
Ohh-oh, oh


[Bridge]
Uh, oh!
Things are getting kind of tricky
But it doesn't mean much to a girl like me
'Cause I can do the things that you'll never believe
Even in your wildest dreams
Well, excuse me
I know it's strange but true
In my opinion, from my point of view
But once in a blue moon, I don't know what to do
It's like a catch-22


[Chorus]
Everything is not what it seems
When you can get all you wanted in your wildest dreams
You might run into trouble if you go to extremes
Because everything is not what it seems
Everything is not what it seems
When you can have what you want by the simplest of means
Be careful not to mess with the balance of things
Because everything is not what it seems


[Outro]
Everything is not what it seems
When you can have what you want by the simplest of means
Be careful not to mess with the balance of things
Because everything is not
What it seems
