Look At Me
Chance Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

So long to electric fences
Not much left for me to run from now
Guess I'll turn myself around
I'm putting down my defenses
These wings are gonna take me off the ground
It's freedom sweet as sound
And I'll admit that I was wrong
It's freedoms beautiful sound
Finally taking my fist down

Would you stop and take a look at me now?
Could you stop and take a look at me now?
When your standing right in front of me
Your looking at the positive that was negative
Would you stop and take a look at me now?

Don't know what you get tomorrow
Not sure where I want to go tonight
Isn't that what life's about?
So long for the fears and worries
Let's go and you won't be sorry
I'll be the one that gets you out
Chase the demons out tonight
You can see how fast they run
When you turn the lights will shine

Would you stop and take a look at me now?
Could you stop and take a look at me now?
When your standing right in front of me
Your looking at the positive that was negative
Would you stop and take a look at me now?

And it gets more beautiful it gets more beautiful
As the sun turns into rain
And the hurt turns into shame
And it gets more wonderful it gets more wonderful
Can you get this through your brain
That you can not lose again?

Would you stop and take a look at me now?
Could you stop and take a look at me now?
When your standing right in front of me




Your looking at the positive that was negative
Would you stop and take a look at me now?

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Chance's song "Look At Me" depict a transformative moment of self-realization and acceptance. The opening lines, "So long to electric fences, not much left for me to run from now, guess I'll turn myself around," suggest the singer has been confined, but now chooses to break free of their limitations. The use of imagery is immediately evocative, conjuring images of a trapped animal finally breaking free. The metaphor then shifts to that of flight, indicated by "wings," suggesting that the singer's journey from confinement to freedom may not have been entirely easy or painless, but it has allowed them to take flight and soar.


The lines, "It's freedom sweet as sound, and I'll admit that I was wrong," touch on the theme of redemption and humility, indicating that the singer is not only grateful for their newfound freedom but also recognizes their previous mistakes or shortcomings. This sentiment is reinforced later when the singer sings, "And it gets more beautiful, it gets more wonderful, can you get this through your brain, that you can not lose again?" The message seems to be that once we break free of our limitations and embrace our true selves, we become unstoppable in our pursuit of happiness and fulfillment.
