Beartooth Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
'Cause it's the only life I had
Expressing my mind with paper and a pen playing my guitar
'Till my fingers bled on the carpet
Maybe I wasn't like all the normal kids
I was born just a little bit different
I tried to fit in, I got sick of it
I tried to fit in, I got sick of it
You say I'm just a loser in the background
I can never seem to get it right
But I'm learning my worth is more than your word
You told me I would back out, I would break down
I'm not even putting up a fight
But I'm learning my worth is more than your word
It wasn't easy being rejected by the thing I wanted so bad
To be accepted, to be wanted
To wake up and say this is gonna be a good day
Maybe I wasn't like all the normal kids
I was born just a little bit different
I tried to fit in, I got sick of it
I tried to fit in, I got sick of it
You say I'm just a loser in the background
I can never seem to get it right
But I'm learning my worth is more than your word
You told me I would back out, I would break down
I'm not even putting up a fight
But I'm learning my worth is more than your word
More than your word
I was born a little bit different
I was born a little bit different
I was born just a little bit different
I was born a little bit different
I was born a little bit different
You say I'm just a loser in the background
I can never seem to get it right
But I'm learning my worth is more than your word
You say I'm just a loser in the background
I can never seem to get it right
But I'm learning my worth is more than your word
You told me I would back out, I would break down
I'm not even putting up a fight
But I'm learning my worth is more than your word
I got sick of it
I got sick of it
I tried to fit in, I got sick of it
I tried to fit in, I got sick of it
The lyrics to Beartooth's song "Loser" are about a person who has always been drawn to the night life and expressing themselves through music. They feel different from the "normal kids" and have struggled with fitting in. Despite being rejected and told that they are a "loser in the background," they are starting to realize their worth and that it is more than what others say about them. The song is ultimately about self-acceptance and finding value in oneself despite what others may think or say.
The lines "I've always been a fan of the night life, 'cause it's the only life I had" indicate that music has been a consistent presence in the singer's life. This is further emphasized in the line "Expressing my mind with paper and a pen playing my guitar 'til my fingers bled on the carpet." The singer is depicted as being devoted to their craft regardless of the impact on their physical well-being.
The repetition of the line "I was born just a little bit different" highlights the singer's sense of being an outsider. However, the use of first-person pronouns in the lines "I got sick of it" and "I'm learning my worth" demonstrate a willingness to take control of their own narrative and reject the harsh words of others. The song's message is ultimately one of self-empowerment and self-love.
