I've Become
3OH!3 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The shade of red for every kind of man that you won't call again
The prince is sitting on the castle of mirages (a self-shot artists)
In the bathroom that's where you make your collages
I'm the farthest reaching planet from the star where you were standing
That should be obvious but dammit this ain't how I planned it
The hardest part of breaking up is first foot on the grant it's so I'm a try and manage
Shallow nights, shallow days
Teach me how to live with all this poison under my veins
I've become the person that I hated the most when I was young
Black zip up hoodie in the bed of a pickup truck
With a 40 of whatever like who gives a fuck (Quick duck)
When the lights are flashing and the city is like non-stop
And you're driving back and forth like it was a pawn shop
I'll be in the back of the bar taking shots to the head like Ong Bak
Put another quarter in the juke cause I don't wanna let this song stop
This goes out to the young hearts that aren't right in some spots
That blow up like sun spots and leave you with blood clots
And to the dumb trots who think they can play my heart strings
I'm just gonna open up and let the dark sing
Shallow nights, shallow days
Teach me how to live with all this poison under my veins
I've become the person that I hated the most when I was young
When I was young
Shallow nights, shallow days
Teach me how to live with all this poison under my veins
I've become the person that I hated the most when I was young
When I was young
Shallow nights, shallow days
Teach me how to live with all this poison under my veins
I've become the person that I hated the most when I was young
When I was young
Shallow nights, shallow days
Teach me how to live with all this poison under my veins
I've become the person that I hated the most when I was young
When I was young
Shallow nights, shallow days
Teach me how to live with all this poison under my veins
I've become the person that I hated the most when I was young
When I was young
Slow down, down, down, down, down, down
Slow down, down, down, down, down, down
Shallow nights, shallow days
Teach me how to live with all this poison under my veins
I've become the person that I hated the most when I was young
When I was young
Shallow nights, shallow days
Teach me how to live with all this poison under my veins
I've become the person that I hated the most when I was young
When I was young
Shallow nights, shallow days
Teach me how to live with all this poison under my veins
I've become the person that I hated the most when I was young
When I was young
Shallow nights, shallow days
Teach me how to live with all this poison under my veins
I've become the person that I hated the most when I was young
When I was young
Shallow nights, shallow days
Teach me how to live with all this poison under my veins
I've become the person that I hated the most when I was young
When I was young
The lyrics of "I've Become" by 3OH!3 speak of the changes that come with growing up and how it can change a person's perspective of themselves and the world around them. The opening lines of the song talk about red lipstick and how it is a symbol of Marilyn Monroe, yet the singer acknowledges that they are not as glamorous or iconic. The singer then moves on to describe a world of fleeting relationships, where partners are chosen based on convenience than actual connections. The song's title is derived from the chorus where the singer describes themselves as becoming someone they used to dislike when they were younger. The song is a reflection on how with age comes the reality of what it truly means to be an adult, and how it can leave you feeling bitter and disillusioned.
The second verse of the song is a reflection on how the singer had hoped to turn out much different from the person they have become. It speaks to the difficulty of moving on from a break-up and the pain that comes with it. The reference to the "first foot on the grant" alludes to the uncertainty of a new beginning and the fear of being alone. The final verse talks of a night out on the town, where the singer is just trying to forget about their troubles. They imagine themselves as a rebel without a cause, looking for a good time to forget their worries.
