Myself
Glorious Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Creating this huge mental block
Never ending source of negativity
Your world view is so tainted
I do this for myself not for you
I'll never stoop as low as you
So much hatred for the world around you
I think that hatred's for yourself
I do this for myself not for you
Save your judgements for your fucking self
Thin line between criticism and hypocrisy but you're too blind to see
Living free of imperfections in your fucking world of make believe
I'm not listening to what you say
Not listening to what you say
Thin line between criticism and hypocrisy
Living free of imperfections?
Save your judgements for yourself
The lyrics of Glorious's song "Myself" express a strong sense of self-awareness and resilience against negativity. The opening lines suggest that the singer is encountering someone who is trying to stop them from achieving their goals. This is represented as a "huge mental block", something that is incredibly difficult to overcome. The person causing this negativity is described as having a "tainted" world view, which is a reflection of their own negative mindset.
The chorus asserts that the singer is not doing what they are doing for the benefit of this negative person or anyone else, but rather for themselves. The singer adopts a strong stance, vowing not to "stoop as low" as the negative person and refusing to allow them to penetrate their thoughts. The negative person is described as having "so much hatred" for the world, but the singer suggests that this hatred might actually stem from self-loathing.
The second verse continues the theme of self-empowerment, with the singer telling the negative person to save their judgments for themselves. The following lines suggest that the person is hypocritical, as they are critical of others yet live in a world where they themselves are free from imperfections. The song finishes with the singer affirming their strength, declaring that they are not listening to the negative person's words.
