Sentiment
Better Person Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm afraid.
You are looking great tonight.
You're looking great.
I can never be myself.
I'll never be myself.
Oh...
It's all I have.
All that I have is a sentiment.
It's all I have.
Oh...
I am wasting all my days.
I'm wasting all my days.
There will never be real me.
It doesn't exist.
I will never be from here.
I'll never be from here.
Oh...
All that I have is a sentiment.
It's all I have.
All that I have is a sentiment.
It's all I have.
All, oh...
The lyrics of the song Sentiment by Better Person describe the feeling of inadequacy and lack of self-acceptance. The lines "There is something I'm afraid of. I'm afraid. You are looking great tonight. You're looking great." hint at the fear of being compared to someone else and not measuring up. The following lines "I can never be myself. I'll never be myself." emphasize a deep-rooted sense of self-doubt and inability to be confident in one's own skin. The repetition of "Oh..." throughout the song adds to the haunting nature of the lyrics.
The chorus of the song- "All that I have is a sentiment. It's all I have."- speaks to the realization that the only thing the singer has is their own feelings and emotions, which they hold onto and find solace in. However, the following lines "I am wasting all my days. I'm wasting all my days. There will never be real me. It doesn't exist. I will never be from here. I'll never be from here." show the futility of this inward focus as it is preventing them from truly living and being present in the moment. The overall message of the song seems to be that self-acceptance is key to finding happiness and fulfillment in life.
