About Me
Alicia Witt Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

isn't it funny i was so right about you all along
isn't it crazy how much i wanted you to prove me wrong

i wanna grind you into the floor
but you're not worth the scuff on my shoe
i wanna make you take a look in the mirror
but hey- enough about you
what about me this is my voice now
spent too long letting you say it all
and i don't care how many ways you take down
everyone else cuz i'm standing tall

put it away cuz i'm done with your game
it's time for a new set of rules
you can't live without me? well this one's about me
and baby i'm over you

i bet you never once looked back at all the shit i took from you
i bet you never saw this comin wonder what you're gonna do

so sick of talkin bout your stupid life
so sick of hearin you got so little time
you're as deep as a sock and as true as a lie
yeah fuck your shit are you ready for mine?

(chor)

this one is not about a boy
this is about the void i left wide open
this one is almost like a gift
feels like a weight has lifted off my shoulders

and i don't want you missin me
don't need your sympathy
dont care how many things you left unspoken
go try your tricks out on some other bitch
not here to be your fix cuz i'm not broken

what about me this is my voice now
spent too long sayin nothin at all
and i won't shut up, no i like the sound
say what you want but i'm not gonna fall

put it away cuz i'm done with your game
from now on we play by my rules




you can't live without me? well this one's about me
and baby i'm over you

Overall Meaning

The song "About Me" by Alicia Witt is a powerful anthem of self-discovery and liberation from toxic relationships. The song opens with the lyric "Isn't it funny I was so right about you all along, Isn't it crazy how much I wanted you to prove me wrong" which highlights that the singer had a strong intuition about the person they were involved with, but despite their hopeful wishes, the person turned out to be exactly who they suspected them to be.


The singer then expresses their frustration and anger towards the person by saying, "I wanna grind you into the floor, but you're not worth the scuff on my shoe, I wanna make you take a look in the mirror, but hey - enough about you." This is an indication that the singer is no longer interested in giving the person any attention or energy and is focused on themselves. They are no longer willing to tolerate the other person's behavior, and they acknowledge that the situation is not about the other person, it is about themselves.


The chorus of the song is an empowering declaration of the singer's self-worth and independence. They are taking back their voice and not allowing the other person to control or manipulate them anymore. The lyric "put it away 'cause I'm done with your game, it's time for a new set of rules, you can't live without me? well, this one's about me, and baby, I'm over you" encapsulates the message of the song - it is time for the singer to move on, and the focus is on them, not the other person.
