Mama Look At Me Now
Galantis Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
How to live my life
I started trouble, that's what young kids do
And I was young alright
And my teacher said I'd be a failure
They called my mama just to tell her
"Oh, your son is trouble, there's no doubt
He's never gonna leave this town"
Well, mama look at me now
Catch me waving from the sky in a brand new G-5
Mama look at me now
They said that kid was on slide, but he's doing alright
Mama look at me now (hey)
Mama look at me now (hey)
Come on look at me now (hey)
Mama look at me now (hey)
Mama look at me now
When I was younger no one ever could tell me
How to live my life
I told my mama not to worry 'cause she worried
'Bout my world outside
They gave me pills to make me better
They called my mama just to tell her
"Oh, your son is trouble, good for nothing
He ain't ever gonna leave this town"
Well, mama look at me now
Catch me waving from the sky in a brand new G-5
Mama look at me now
They said that kid was on slide, but he's doing alright
Mama look at me now (hey)
Mama look at me now (hey)
Come on look at me now (hey)
Mama look at me now (hey)
Mama look at me now
Mama look at me now
Mama look at me now
The lyrics to Galantis feat. MAX's song Mama Look At Me Now talk about the journey of a young kid who started off getting into trouble and being told that he was going to fail in life. His teachers and the people around him called his mother to inform her that her son was a troublemaker and that he would never leave their town. Despite all of this, the singer of the song has now become successful, and he invites his mother to look at him now. He is waving from the sky in a brand new G-5, something that he would not have thought was possible earlier in his life.
The song talks about how the singer struggled to find his way in life while growing up. The line, "they gave me pills to make me better," implies that he may have suffered from mental health issues, but he persevered and worked towards his goal. The song shows that even when others doubt you, it's important to keep pushing forward and achieving your dreams.
In summary, Galantis feat. MAX's song Mama Look At Me Now is a motivational song that encourages people to keep pushing through hardships and achieve their dreams, regardless of what others may say.
