CyberGirlfriend Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

Pretty prom queen, always happy, never ugly
Perfect family, can't understand me
On the big screen, always laughing
Life of the party, when she dances, she hypnotizes me

I wanna be like Katie and Maureen, so everyone will love me
I wanna be like Katie and Maureen, so I can finally be happy
Got my ripped jeans, no mom jeans

Where's your family? Don't ask me

Got a problem, I never solve them
I'm stuck in my class, I never pass that
I'm only passed out, got my hair down
If I'm pretty, will you miss me

She's everything I wanna be
Am I in love with her or do I just wanna be
I wanna be like Katie and Maureen, so everyone will love me
I wanna be like Katie and Maureen, so I can finally be happy

Broken mirrors now, so I don't break down
When she walks on by, she's so perfect, does she deserve it
Is her life a lie
I hope she's happy

I hope she's happier than me
I hope she's happy
I hope she's happier than me
I wanna be like Katie and Maureen, so everyone will love me

I wanna be like Katie and Maureen, so I can finally be happy
Everyone loves Katie and Maureen
Everyone loves Katie and Maureen
Everyone loves Katie and Maureen

Everyone except for me

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Katie Marie" by Cybergirlfriend delve into feelings of envy and self-doubt through the lens of the singer's perception of Katie and Maureen. The song begins by describing Katie as a pretty prom queen, always happy and never ugly. She is portrayed as having a perfect family and being popular, charismatic, and captivating when she dances. The singer expresses a desire to be like Katie and Maureen, believing that if she could emulate them, everyone would love her and she would finally find happiness.

The lyrics highlight the singer's struggles with self-identity and self-esteem. She contrasts her own ripped jeans with the perfect image of Katie, wondering where her own family is, suggesting a sense of alienation from her own surroundings. The singer admits to having unresolved problems, feeling stuck in her own life, and resorting to escapism through passing out and letting her hair down. She questions if her own prettiness would make people miss her or value her.

The second verse brings up broken mirrors, symbolizing the singer's internal struggle and fragility. As Katie walks by, the singer reflects on the contrast between Katie's outward perfection and the possibility of her life being a facade. The chorus reiterates the desire to be like Katie and Maureen, seeking love and happiness from others. However, the song ends on a melancholic note, as the singer acknowledges that everyone loves Katie and Maureen, except for her.

Overall, "Katie Marie" explores themes of comparison, envy, and the longing for acceptance and happiness. It delves into the complexities of self-perception and the desire to be someone other than oneself.
