Do It Better
CLMD Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
(I can do it better)
When I'm lonely I let you in
Let your head down to my water for a swim
Do it slowly, make me sing
If I'm honest I don't really feel a thing
I can't fake it, won't make a sound
I can do it better, I can do it better
Really want this to work, I do
Baby, it's not me, it's you
I can do it better, I can do it better myself
(I can do it better) I can do it better myself
(I can do it better)
Pay attention, watch and learn
Baby, I will let you know when it's your turn
Let me show you how it's done
It's not easy but it's worth it when I, uh
And I really don't wanna let you down
I can't fake it, won't make a sound
I can do it better, I can do it better
Really want this to work, I do
Baby, it's not me, it's you
I can do it better, I can do it better myself
(I can do it better) I can do it better myself
(I can do it better) I can do it better myself
(I can do it better, better myself)
(I can do it better) I can do it better myself
I can do it better myself
I can do it better myself
I can do it better myself
I can do it better, I can do it better
Really want this to work, I do
Baby, it's not me, it's you
I can do it better, I can do it better myself
The lyrics of CLMD's song "Do It Better" hints at a realization that one can be better off doing things by themselves. The singer in the song is admitting that when they're lonely, they let someone in, but it doesn't quite work out, and they feel like they could do it better on their own. They encourage their partner to watch and learn as they show them how it's done. The song conveys a sense of self-sufficiency and empowerment, suggesting that sometimes, it's necessary to put oneself first and take control of the situation, rather than relying on others.
The lines "If I'm honest I don't really feel a thing" and "It's not easy but it's worth it when I" suggest that while the experience of being with someone may have some benefits, it's not enough for the singer. They can't fake it or make it work, and they're just better off doing things themselves. The repeated refrain of "I can do it better myself" emphasizes this sentiment.
Overall, the song "Do It Better" is about recognizing one's own abilities and realizing that they may be better off relying on themselves rather than others. It promotes self-confidence and asserts that taking control of one's life can lead to a better outcome.
