So What
CTI All-Stars Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And hungry
I'm anemic
Do you want me
And so long as
You love me
I don't care if your lying
Is it me
In the deep
I feel you
I'll see you in my dreams
Where everything just works
I'm chilling in your arms
And my body hurts
Uh oh
Oh and it's okay
When I'm in your car
And you get away
Down the street
And you roll the windows down
Who cares who sees
No ones around
The lyrics of CTI All-Stars's song "So What" convey a sense of exhaustion and vulnerability from the singer, as they express being tired, hungry, and anemic. This opening stanza sets a somber tone, suggesting a state of physical and emotional depletion. The repetition of "I'm so tired" and "And hungry" emphasizes the weariness and emptiness the singer is experiencing. The mention of being anemic adds to the sense of frailty and weakness, highlighting a need for care and comfort.
The lyrics then shift to a plea or question directed towards someone else, asking "Do you want me?". This line conveys a sense of longing for validation or acceptance from the other person. The subsequent lines introduce a theme of love and acceptance, as the singer states that as long as they are loved, they do not care if the other person is lying. This suggests a deep desire for affection and connection, even if it may be based on falsehood.
The following lines delve into a more introspective and dream-like state, where the singer seems to be reflecting on their feelings and connection with the other person. The mention of feeling the other person in the deep and seeing them in dreams adds a mystical and ethereal dimension to the relationship between the two individuals. The imagery of chilling in the other person's arms conveys a sense of comfort and safety, juxtaposed with the idea that their body hurts, hinting at a concurrent feeling of pain or discomfort.
The song then takes a turn towards a moment of escapism and freedom, as the singer describes being in the other person's car, feeling okay, and getting away. The act of rolling the windows down and driving down the street symbolizes a sense of liberation and carefree abandon. The lyrics suggest a willingness to embrace spontaneity and disregard the judgment of others, highlighted by the line "Who cares who sees, No ones around". This final stanza captures a fleeting sense of euphoria and temporary respite from the challenges and complexities of life.

I'm so tired
I feel emotionally drained and exhausted
And hungry
In addition to being tired, I am also physically hungry
I'm anemic
I am lacking in vitality and energy
Do you want me
Are you interested in me and my well-being
And so long as
As long as
You love me
You have feelings of love towards me
I don't care if your lying
I am indifferent to any falsehoods you may be telling
Is it me
Am I the one
Is it true
Is this reality
In the deep
In the depths of my emotions
I feel you
I sense your presence
I'll see you in my dreams
I will encounter you in my subconscious thoughts
Where everything just works
In a place where everything functions smoothly
I'm chilling in your arms
I am relaxed and at ease in your embrace
And my body hurts
But I am still experiencing physical discomfort
Uh oh
Expressing surprise or concern
Oh and it's okay
Despite the previous statement, everything is acceptable
When I'm in your car
While riding in your vehicle
And you get away
And we escape from our current circumstances
Down the street
Traveling along the road
And you roll the windows down
And you lower the vehicle's windows
Who cares who sees
I am unconcerned about who may observe us
No ones around
There is no one nearby
