Loser
Insomnio Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Don't put the blame on me if you've got a broken heart
don't judge me badly if you want to bring me down,
you've got some questions, I've got the answers
and you will have to defeat me if you want to obtain them
You always end at the same window - looking at the stars
You always end at the same hole - waiting to be one
You're looking for your glory moment - shine and be lucky
You need the magic touch - but you're safe behind a wall

I am not who you are, but well who I am
I need what I have, do not want your fucking wealth
I prefer the weariness of victory to the pleasure of surrender

I prefer the pain of firmness to the rest of betrayal
... but you're loser

Overall Meaning

In the song "Loser" by Insomnio, the lyrics suggest that the singer is being unfairly judged and blamed for someone else's broken heart or negative experiences. The singer raises the point that they have answers to questions, but it will take effort to obtain them, as they will need to be defeated. The chorus then highlights the fact that the person in question always ends up in the same place, looking for a moment of glory or a lucky break, but they are held back by a metaphorical wall of safety that they have built up around themselves.

The singer then declares that they are not like the person they are addressing, and they do not want their wealth or fortunes, preferring instead the hard-earned victory and firmness they have gained in their own life. Ultimately, the singer bluntly labels the person a "loser."

The lyrics can be interpreted in a number of different ways, but one common theme is the idea of self-determination and self-reliance. The singer is focused on their own success and their own path, and they are not interested in being brought down by the negative opinions or judgments of others. At the same time, they do not look down on the other person, but simply recognize that they have taken a different approach to life.
