CyberGirlfriend Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It only takes one super like
I'm sitting in my bed swiping right
Why is every man on this app the same type?
I want a guy who's 5'10 but he's really 5'9
Dad jokes, dad bod, and your favorite pick-up line
I don't need a nice guy, I just want a reply
I'm here for a good time, not a long time
I'm so lonely
And my internship sucks
And I just want to...
Focus on myself
With someone nonexclusive
But maybe less reclusive than myself
Is this bad mental health? (Probably)
Text me back
Send me your office quotes
Your doggo pics, and outdated memes
Show me your skater tricks
And your hypebeast fits
Reassure me that it's real Supreme
Text me back, please
I'm so lonely
And my internship sucks
And I just want to...
Focus on myself
With someone nonexclusive
But maybe less reclusive than myself
Is this bad mental health? (Probably)
Text me back
All of your stories, boring
Don't take this personally
That's just your personality
Text me back, please
I'm so lonely
And my internship sucks
And I just want to...
Focus on myself
With someone nonexclusive
But maybe less reclusive than myself
Is this bad mental health? (Probably)
Text me back
The lyrics to CyberGirlfriend's song "Text Me Back" are about the struggles of modern dating and the pressures of social media. The singer is using a dating app and feeling bored and frustrated with the men on it, who she describes as all being the same type. She is seeking a connection with someone who is different and interesting, but also non-exclusive and less reclusive than she is.
The lyrics reveal the singer's feelings of loneliness and disconnection, as well as her desire for validation and attention from others. She wants someone to text her back and send her funny memes and pictures, to make her feel less alone and give her something to focus on. However, she also recognizes that this behavior may be a form of bad mental health, and acknowledges that she may need help or support.
Overall, the song reflects the complexities of modern relationships, as well as the impact of technology and social media on our lives. It highlights the need for connection and validation, as well as the risks and challenges involved in seeking out these things online.

I'm so single!
He's not even cute...

All my friends have boyfriends...
I like don't even care about him...
Are you sure? You keep talking about him?
Did he even give you his number?
Why won't he message me?

He's like a 7 if he's cool
He looks like your ex!
