Punkinloveee Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In the magazines, everything you see isn't really always what it seems
She's a scene queen and she's fuckin' on me
She's only 18, yeah, she's a tiny teen
Just look at me, I'm made of plastic
It's so tragic and it's fabulous
If I see you in the club, I'ma shoot this shit up
You can never cancel me 'cause
I know you read about me
In the magazines, the top list
Don't believe their image
Everything you see, isn't always as it seems
When you see me out in public, don't make a scene
All designer on me and I know that you see
I just popped a Xanax in the limousine
Want to be a star bitch, shine with me
I'm so controversial like a Nazi
Baby, doing what with me in the back seat
Hello Kitty chain with the skinny jeans
I don't know why fake bitches follow me
I never wanted to be famous
I never wanted to be a celebrity
Dance like a ballerina when you get drunk
I'm not 21 yet, let's get crunk
Just look at me, I'm made of plastic
It's so tragic and it's fabulous
If I see you in the club, I'ma shoot this shit up
You can never cancel me 'cause I'm too gangsta
I'm really in the club and you cannot get in
'Cause your stupid Uggs, and your outfit's not it
True Religion purse with the black fur bag
She's a dirty whore, you can have her next
B.B. Simon's belt with the fucking band tee
Cheetah print scarf, that's when she fell in love with me
OMG, I know that you read about me
In the magazines, everything you see isn't really always what it seems
She's a scene queen and she's fuckin' on me
She's only 18, yeah, she's a tiny teen
Just look at me, I'm made of plastic
It's so tragic and it's fabulous
If I see you in the club, I'ma shoot this shit up
You can never cancel me 'cause I'm too gangsta
In "Inner Beauty is a Lie", Punkinloveee is addressing the glamorization of plastic surgery, the media and fake personas. She implies that people's perception of reality is often skewed if they only get to know a person through magazines and social media. Using her own experience as an example, she points out the hypocrisy of the industry, where plastic is considered beautiful, and encourages her listeners to be true to themselves and not to fall into the trap of conforming to unrealistic standards.
Furthermore, the lyrics highlight how fame can come with a heavy price, robbing individuals of their true identity and freedom. Punkinloveee doesn't mince words as she sings about popping Xanax in the limousine to cope with the pressures of the entertainment industry. She references how individuals will distort themselves to be accepted by society, like in the case of Baby doing what with her in the back seat. Punkinloveee closes the song by asserting that she is too gangsta to be cancelled, meaning that she is too resilient to be affected by cancel culture or the negative publicity by the media.
Overall, "Inner Beauty is a Lie" sounds like an anthem for self-love, body positivity, and authenticity in the face of superficiality and societal expectations.
