She Said
Brie Larson Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yeah

She said (She said)
Get outta my way cause I'm goin' somewhere
This is not where I wanna be
You can say what you want, you can tell me I'm wrong
La dee da, la dee dee
Get off of my back, stop saying that
'Cause I'm not afraid of heights
I may never get where I'm going, yeah
But then again, I might

You can't get inside my head
Can't be my safety net
I'm standing on the edge, yeah

I know it's a long way down
But you can't walk the wire for anybody else
I might hit the ground
But at least I'll have a story to tell
She said, "I gotta find out for myself"
(She said, she said, she said)

She said
Get outta my space and remember this face
'Cause it's not who I wanna be (No)
At the end of the day, I got something to say
La dee da, la dee dee
Somewhere, nowhere, don't care, any place but here
Oh, if you don't believe in magic
Then watch me disappear

You can't get inside my head
Can't be my safety net
I'm jumping off the edge, yeah

I know it's a long way down
But you can't walk the wire for anybody else
I might hit the ground
But at least I'll have a story to tell
She said, "I gotta find out for myself"
(She said, she said, she said)

She said
La la la la la la
La la la la la
La la la la la la
Oh, la la la la la
La la la la la la
La la la la la la

I know it's a long way down
But you can't walk the wire for anybody else
I might hit the ground
But at least I'll have a story to tell
She said, "I gotta find out for myself"
It's a long way down (oh long way down)
But you can't walk the wire for anybody else
I might hit the ground (I might hit the ground)
But at least I'll have a story to tell (I'll have a story to tell)
She said, "I gotta find out for myself"

(She said, she said, she said)




Get outta my way 'cause I'm going somewhere
This is not where I wanna be

Overall Meaning

The song She Said by Brie Larson is an anthem for self-discovery and taking control of one's own life. The lyrics tell the story of a person who is determined to break free from the expectations and limitations placed upon them by society and others. The repeated refrain of "I gotta find out for myself" is a powerful statement about the importance of individuality and the need to make one's own choices and mistakes.


The opening lines of the song set the stage for the message of independence and determination. The singer declares that she is going somewhere and that where she is currently is not where she wants to be. The use of repetition in the chorus reinforces this idea of moving forward and taking control, despite the challenges that may lie ahead. The reference to walking a wire also suggests the idea of risk-taking and the possibility of falling, but ultimately it is a risk that must be taken in order to live a fulfilling life.


Throughout the song, there is a sense of defiance and confidence that comes through in the lyrics. The singer is unapologetic about her desire for independence and her willingness to break away from the norm. By the end of the song, it becomes clear that she is not asking for permission to live her life on her own terms, but rather asserting her right to do so.
