Better Off
Beea Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ran out of patience
And we’re not so good together
Guess I’m in this all alone
Got caught up in the storm
I’m better off on my own
Sick of all this suffocation
You’ve lost all your fascination
I'm better off on my own
Do you think you could do better?
Your time is running out
‘Cause I will always remember
You didn’t tell anyone
About your little secret
All of the things you’ve done
Sick of all this suffocation
You’ve lost all your fascination
And you can never speak the truth
You have a great imagination
I'm better off on my own
I'm better off on my own
I'm better off on my own
I'm better off on my own
The floor swallows me
I’m alone
You have no idea
‘Cause you’re made out of stone
I lay here at night
Counting the time
Waiting for somebody that should be by my side
The floor swallows me
And I’m all alone
You have no idea
‘Cause you’re made out of stone
I lay here at night
Counting the time
Waiting for somebody that should be by my side
I'm better off on my own
I'm better off on my own
The lyrics of Beea's song "Better Off" seem to convey a sense of frustration and dissatisfaction in a relationship. The singer expresses feeling trapped and suffocated, realizing that they are better off being alone. The repetition of the line "I'm better off on my own" reinforces their conviction in this belief.
The first verse suggests that the relationship has been going on for a long time, but the singer has run out of patience. They acknowledge that they are not compatible with their partner and feel isolated in the relationship. The storm metaphor implies that their emotions have become overwhelming and chaotic. They conclude that being alone is a better option.
In the second verse, the singer questions their partner's actions and lack of transparency. The mention of a "little secret" and things they've done indicates that trust has been broken. The line "You can never speak the truth, you have a great imagination" implies that the partner is dishonest or manipulative. Again, the chorus repeats the sentiment that the singer is better off without their partner.
The bridge introduces a sense of despair and loneliness. The metaphor of the floor swallowing the singer and them being alone emphasizes their isolation. The line "you're made out of stone" suggests that the partner lacks empathy or is emotionally unresponsive. Despite this, the singer still hopes for someone who should be by their side, but the repetition of the chorus further emphasizes their belief that they are ultimately better off on their own.
Overall, the lyrics paint a picture of a relationship that has become suffocating and lacking in trust, leading the singer to realize their own independence and desire to be alone.

Waiting for somebody that should be by my side
Anticipating the presence of someone who should be supporting me
