CONVOLK Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All star I′m gonna be
Lose the weight when I don't need
I′ll shave my face and fix my teeth
And maybe God will love me
Oh, the perfect drama queen
Walk the runway to be seen
And I think God's disgusting
Broken bones
Broken hearts and broken homes
With your friends you're all alone
You see the rest as mindless drones
Country life don′t match your tone
California′s where you go
Fuck some models do some blow
Now you're turning 44
So what does this mean to me
Got a whole team deep on the scene with me
And if I do make it past 23
I′ll be glad I did too
I'll be glad I ditched you
All star I′m gonna be
Lose the weight when I don't need
I′ll shave my face and fix my teeth
And maybe God will love me
Oh, the perfect drama queen
Walk the runway to be seen
Money means the world to me
And I think God's disgusting
You all disgust me
You all disgust me
You all disgust me
You all disgust me
Fuck you
Bitch
The song "thom yorke but worse" by CONVOLK is a reflection of the artist's ambivalence towards fame, money, and the pressure to conform to societal standards. Through the lyrics, we can see how the singer feels the need to change themselves to fit into the norms of society. They are willing to lose weight, shave their face, and fix their teeth in the hopes that God will love them. However, this is all superficial and shows a lack of self-acceptance.
The lyrics also reveal the singer's disdain for God, and they see money as the most valuable thing in the world. They believe that being a drama queen and walking the runway is essential to gaining recognition and acceptance. However, this quest for fame and money has resulted in broken bones, broken hearts, and broken homes. The songwriter emphasizes how lonely the journey can be and how despite the effort to fit in, one can still feel like a mindless drone.
In the second verse, the singer's tone changes, and they reflect on their life journey as they turn 44. They have a team working with them, but they realize that success is not guaranteed, and they may not live past 23. They seem to have a disdain for anything that doesn't match their lifestyle, including their hometown, and they have embraced the model and drugs culture of California.
