Bif Naked Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In pieces as I took the fall
For you, you dumb chump!
You left me free-falling like space junk
Burning up in the atmosphere of life
Well I sound like a philosopher
But I'm a fool who's off her rocker
I've had enough, made up my mind
I'm gonna get up and out and
[Chorus]
I love myself today
Not like yesterday
I'm cool, I'm calm
I'm gonna be okay! Uh huh
I love myself today
Not like yesterday
Take another look at me now
Cause it's your last look
Your last look forever
Well look at you you're all puffed up
In that big red truck- but you're outta luck (this time)
Well, that's tough
Cause I'm on fire- too hot to touch
With a chatroom full of lovers on the line
Gonna step right up. Spit shine my soul
I'm gonna be proud and loud and outta control!
[Chorus]
I'm lookin' in the mirror and I like what I see,
I've lost the fear & the horror that's been eating at me
Cause being with you is like a hangman's noose
I was living my life in dead man's shoes
I've had enough. Made up my mind
I'm gonna get up and out and
I love myself today
Not like yesterday
I'm cool, I'm calm
I'm gonna be okay! Uh huh
I love myself today
Not like yesterday
Take another look at me now
[Chorus]
I love myself today [Repeat: x7]

The chorus suggests that the singer has made a decision to love themselves and to let go of the pain caused by the other person. By repeating the phrase "I love myself today," it emphasizes the shift in attitude towards self-love, self-acceptance, and self-confidence. The lines “Take another look at me now, Cause it's your last look, Your last look forever” show that the singer is confident, self-assured, and unafraid to show their newfound strength to the person who hurt them.
As the song progresses, it becomes clear that the singer is no longer willing to hold onto the past, and is excited about the possibilities for their future. It is important to note that the singer is not completely unaffected by the hurt, demonstrated in the line, "being with you is like a hangman's noose." However, they are determined to move forward, indicated in the lyrics "I'm gonna be proud and loud and outta control."
Overall, the song emphasizes the importance of self-love and forgiveness in moving on from past hurt and trauma. It illustrates how self-confidence and self-worth can help individuals overcome adversity and pain.

These were the golden day of Much Music Canada... I'm crushed that I can't still watch the late metal show on Fridays, see the countdown, electric circus, the VJs ( I met Rick campanelli and my mom asked if he could take a pic with me ;) lol...Nam, who was the hip hop VJ is in the background!!!), and the specials when concerts hit Toronto. I miss the Canadian nostalgia so much. I grew up on this stuff. I guess you don't know what you've got until it's turned into just another TV station. I know we can get our music/movie/tv fix online for free now but I taped videos years and years before youtube existed - it was the only way to play my favorite artists I truly feel like there's someone out there with an idea to bring back actual music to just ONE channel at least. PLAY EVERYTHING FROM COUNTRY TO METAL TO GOSPEL TO RAP TO BLUES TO ROCK TO CLASSICAL TO SKA TO JAZZ TO POP TO PUNK!!! Play it all. Put them into different hour bricks of course but fucking just play music videos, live concert dvds, countdown, etc... I think that could take off. Constant video play of ALL videos ever. Cool?

I would say the last hurrah era of Much Music. The 90s were the peak.

I can friggin' relate to this song! I'm a therapist and only learned recently how to not take patient problems home with me.

I really feel for you. That is a job I would not wish on my very worst enemy. Really, honestly, I encourage you to take up any other profession in the world. If you can do anything else... do that, instead of what you're doing, right now.

@sweiland75 sometimes school doesn't translate well to real world experience. School gives you the knowledge and tools but to become a professional you have to get out there and apply those. After all the best experience is real world experience. @Zer0 I hope you are doing well
sweiland75
They don't teach you that in school?
