Better Off
Besomorph & RIELL Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Girl that bites back hD and deadly
One sip of me you lost your mind
Your weak mind
(But time it tells, truth told it'self)
I’m a nightmare turned day dream i
Elevate what you could be i’m charming
But time it always tells, truth told it'self
And what I found is
You didn’t end up being a fighter: a tragedy
You’ve always been a quitter
Your desire lacked gravity
You cracked under pressure
One bite you’re taking shelter
Time it always tells
Truth told it'self and what I found is
I’m better off, better off, better off
Better off with you gone
Didn’t measure up, measure up, measure up
Measure up with your talk
Now words out on the street: you
Couldn’t keep up with me
Was slow down or watch you leave
So now you’re gone
You try to have me halfway, try
To play i called you out, nothing to say
You stupid or selfish? Either way
Don’t waste my time
But time always tells, truth told it'self
And what I found is
You didn’t end up being a fighter: a tragedy
You’ve always been a quitter
Your desire lacked gravity
You cracked under pressure
One bite you’re taking shelter
Time it always tells
Truth told it'self and what I found is
I’m better off, better off, better off
Better off with you gone
Didn’t measure up, measure up, measure up
Measure up with your talk
Now words out on the street: you
Couldn’t keep up with me
Was slow down or watch you
Leave so now you’re gone
La di da de da la da di da de
La di da de da la di da de
La di da de da la da di da de
La di da de da la di da de
Everything you said you loved
Are the same things that made you run
Do you know what you’re scared of?
Am I too much or are you not enough?
You didn’t end up being a fighter: a tragedy
You cracked under pressure
One bite you’re taking shelter
Time it always tells
Truth told it'self and what I found is
I’m better off, better off, better off
Better off with you gone
Didn’t measure up, measure up, measure up
Measure up with your talk
Now words out on the street: you
Couldn’t keep up with me
Was slow down or watch you leave
So now you’re gone
The song "Better Off" by Besomorph & RIELL is about a relationship that has ended and the realization that the singer is better off without their partner. The opening lines indicate that the singer is wild and dangerous, and their partner was drawn to that aspect of their personality. However, the partner's weakness is exposed in the course of the relationship, and it becomes clear that they were not able to keep up with the singer's intensity.
The chorus repeatedly emphasizes the idea that the singer is better off without their partner, and that the partner failed to measure up to their expectations. The bridge of the song is particularly poignant, as the singer reflects on the fact that the things their partner claimed to love about them were ultimately the cause of their rift. The chorus then repeats, driving home the idea that the singer is better off alone.
Overall, the song is a powerful testament to the idea that sometimes it is better to walk away from a relationship that is not working, even if it is painful in the short term. The lyrics are visceral and raw, with a sense of poetic justice underlying the message.

Everything you said you loved
Are the same things that made you run
Do you know what you’re scared of?
Am I too much or are you not enough?
The very qualities that you claimed to love about me were the ones that ultimately drove you away. I wonder if you were afraid of my intensity, or if you simply didn't measure up

[Verse]
I’m wild, you liked that. The type of girl that bites back
HD and deadly, one sip of me you lost your mind
Your weak mind
(But time it tells, truth told itself)
I’m a nightmare turned day dream. I elevate what you could be
I’m charming, not easy but there is no one quite like me
But time it always tells, truth told itself
And what I found is
[Pre Chorus]
You didn’t end up being a fighter: a tragedy
You’ve always been a quitter your desire lacked gravity
You cracked under pressure, one bite you’re taking shelter
Time it always tells, truth told itself and what I found is
[Chorus]
I’m better off, better off, better off, better off with you gone
Didn’t measure up, measure up, measure up, measure up with your talk
Now words out on the street: you couldn’t keep up with me
Was slow down or watch you leave, so now you’re gone
[Verse]
You try to have me halfway, try to play. I called you out, nothing to say
You stupid or selfish? Either way don’t waste my time
But time always tells, truth told itself

I’m better off, better off, better off, better off with you gone
Didn’t measure up, measure up, measure up, measure up with your talk
Now words out on the street: you couldn’t keep up with me
Was slow down or watch you leave so now you’re gone
