Loser Mentality
Austin Meade Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
With the same old friends that I've had before
Even though I still complain that
I deserve so much more
I′ve got hopes, but I still dream
And every night I do the same old boring things
Scratchy couch and a blue tv
So uninspiring
I've got a loser mentality
'Cause I don′t care what people think of me
I′ve got a loser mentality
Won't you take me back to the 90s
Hey sport, look what came in the mail (Aw, man)
Report card full of C′s
Goddamn it
Dad was never really proud of me
I rode the bench on the B team
While dreaming about the prom queen
I've got
A loser mentality
′Cause I don't care what people think of me
I′ve got a loser mentality
Won't you take me back to the 90s
(Hey)
Guess it's cool that nothing changed
Infomercials on vacation days
I rarely ever see my family
Both my little cousins don′t look up to me
′Cause I've
I′ve got a loser mentality
I don't care what people think of me
I′ve got a loser mentality
Won't you take me back, take me back
′Cause I've
I've got a loser mentality
I′ve got a loser mentality
I′ve got a loser mentality
Won't you take me back to the 90s (Hey)
(Loser)
(Loser)
I wanna be a
(Loser)
(Loser)
The lyrics to Austin Meade's song "Loser Mentality" explore feelings of contentment, dissatisfaction, and a yearning for the past. The singer reflects on their current situation, admitting that they are content with the same old friends and complain about deserving more, yet still find themselves stuck in repetitive and uninspiring routines. The mention of a scratchy couch and a blue TV serves as a metaphor for the lackluster and unfulfilling aspects of their life.
The chorus reveals the core theme of the song, which is the singer's acceptance of their "loser mentality." They express a disregard for what others think of them, embracing their unconventional outlook and nonconformity. The longing to go back to the 90s signifies a desire for a simpler time, where their perceived loser mentality was more accepted or defined by different standards.
In the second verse, the singer shares their disappointment in themselves, highlighting their mediocre academic achievements and the lack of approval from their father. They also mention their dreams of being with the popular and unattainable prom queen while being on the bench of the B team in sports.

I suppose I am satisfied with my current situation

Surrounded by the familiar faces of my long-time companions
Even though I still complain that
Despite my constant grievances about
I deserve so much more
Believing I am entitled to greater things
I′ve got hopes, but I still dream
I possess aspirations, yet my dreams remain unchanged
And every night I do the same old boring things
Engaging in repetitive and mundane activities each night

A worn-out couch and a colorless television
So uninspiring
Lacking inspiration or motivation
I've got a loser mentality

'Cause I don′t care what people think of me
Since I disregard others' opinions about myself
Won't you take me back to the 90s
Wouldn't you transport me to the 90s once again
Hey sport, look what came in the mail (Aw, man)

Report card full of C′s
A report card filled with average grades
Goddamn it
Expressing frustration or annoyance
Dad was never really proud of me
My father never truly felt proud of my accomplishments
I rode the bench on the B team

While dreaming about the prom queen
Meanwhile, daydreaming about the popular girl at prom
Guess it's cool that nothing changed
Suppose it's alright that everything stayed the same
Infomercials on vacation days
Watching infomercials during days off

Could you please bring me back, return me
