The lyrics to "Sucker" by Charli XCX are clear and straightforward, playing on the theme of power and dominance. The song is essentially an anthem for anyone who's ever been mistreated, disrespected, or underestimated, with the lyrics serving as a rallying cry for those who have been put down by others. The chorus, in particular, is particularly biting, as it takes those who have tried to dominate and control others and throws their words back in their faces, telling them that they are the ones who are ultimately the losers.
Throughout the song, Charli XCX uses a variety of vivid imagery and metaphors to convey her message. The lines "Head bang, pink rocks, gold fangs, shit high, brick walls, don't stop...my hands, fresh cuts" create an intense, almost violent scene, with the singer appearing to be on the verge of losing control. The repetition of the line "Oh, dear God, do you get me now?" adds to this sense of instability, with the singer pleading with a higher power to understand her frustration and anger.
Overall, "Sucker" is a high-energy, empowering track that takes aim at those who try to control and dominate others. With its catchy chorus and driving beat, it's a song that encourages listeners to stand up for themselves and fight back against those who would try to bring them down.

This song is about Dr Luke, he told Charli that she needs to loose weight if she wants to become a professional pop star. I can't stand Dr Luke

@Toreiishi
TIL Charli XCX has Chromesthesia, experiencing sound as colours. She "likes black, pink, purple or red" music, and dislikes "green, yellow, or brown" music.
