vanity
Belaganas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
now it’s like love is hard to find/
I often dont know where to go/
my head is always in the sky
Im on my way to somethin greater than I have seen
I spent all my life dealin with this anger in me
maybe Im a batshit crazy man that’s been skatin these streets
like just who do you think you are motherfucker?
i guess i’ll just be a rock star mother fucker
i wake up
im depressed
i feel good
i get dressed
life is like a roller coaster
but this shit dont ever end
never really fit in my own skin
no
-living at the top make em wonder how the kid within
so i’m saying like
so- we outsiders
(we outsiders)
we don’t love them
(we don’t love them)
they cant find us
(they can’t find us)
they know nothing
i haven’t slept in a week
i can’t stand to lose an hour while my enemies eat
people lately getting brave try offending me- please
-you really boutta send it up if you sent me a tweet
uch
(I) little dose of fame- pressure is killing me
eat my dinner at The Ritz- get my breakfast at Tiffany’s
i don’t trust my vicinity- they got something to prove
speeding drunk living life like i got nothing to lose
so i don’t fuck witchu dudes
check one- check check two
messed up- my head fuck it
bless up- my ex stooped
bless up- let’s let loose
friend suck- and sex too
what’s love, respect
nothing we just depressed youth
blau
never really fit in my own skin
no
-living at the top make em wonder how the kid within
so i’m saying like
so- we outsiders
(we outsiders)
we don’t love them
(we don’t love them)
they cant find us
(they can’t find us)
they know nothing
nothing could be done to help me
im just trying to find my way with my eyes closed
but suddenly i feel unhealthy
I dont know who I could be no more
dont know how to feel no more
so- we outsiders
(we outsiders)
we don’t love them
(we don’t love them)
they cant find us
(they can’t find us)
they know nothing
The lyrics of Belaganas's song "Vanity" explore themes of longing for a sense of belonging, the struggles of fame and pressure, and the feeling of being an outsider. The opening lines convey a sense of displacement and isolation, with the artist expressing a lack of feeling at home and difficulty finding love. The mention of having one's head always in the sky suggests a tendency to dream or escape from reality.
The verse about heading towards something greater and dealing with inner anger suggests a striving for personal growth while battling personal demons. The reference to being called crazy and skating the streets indicates a rebellious nature and perhaps a disregard for societal expectations. The lyrics go on to express a desire to be a rock star, which can be seen as a symbol for transcending limitations and achieving greatness.
The chorus emphasizes the sense of being outsiders who don't conform or fit in with societal norms. The repetition of the phrase "we outsiders" reinforces this feeling of not belonging. The lines about not sleeping and not wanting to lose time are indicative of a relentless drive and fear of falling behind. The mention of people trying to offend the artist via social media speaks to the challenges of public scrutiny and the negative impact it can have on mental well-being.
