Jeremy Zucker Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I would be good by now
I'd have it figured all out
We skipped the scenic route
And oh well
At least I never lied
Still I'm always the bad guy
So much for being nice
'Cause I don't wanna be someone who makes you happy
Then lets you down, we'll both feel crappy
I'll hate your friends when this shit ends, well alright
And I don't wanna make your mama cry at dinner
And see her at the mall next winter
At Supercuts, she hates my guts, well alright
But I don't
Don't need a hand to hold
Don't need you to console me
It's honestly getting old
Well, I've thought
Of so many places we could go
Well, maybe I'm better off at home
Maybe I'm better on my own
'Cause I don't wanna be someone who makes you happy
Then lets you down, we'll both feel crappy
I'll hate your friends when this shit ends, well alright
And I don't wanna make your mama cry at dinner
And see her at the mall next winter
At Supercuts, she hates my guts, well alright
Find me drowning in this bullshit again
Started something that we're just gonna end
Wonder if we would be better as friends
But we won't
'Cause I don't wanna be someone who makes you happy
Then lets you down, we'll both feel crappy
I'll hate your friends when this shit ends, well alright
And I don't wanna make your mama cry at dinner
And see her at the mall next winter
At Supercuts, she hates my guts, well alright
The lyrics in Jeremy Zucker's song "Supercuts" discuss a relationship that has run its course. The singer seems to have reached a point where they no longer feel fulfilled by the relationship and no longer want to continue pretending. They express regret at not taking more time to get to know their partner and taking the quick route instead. They acknowledge their mistakes, but also feel they are always seen as the bad guy, despite being truthful. The singer doesn't want to cause any more pain for their partner or their family and would rather end the relationship before causing any more heartache.
In the chorus, the singer emphasizes that they don't want to be the cause of their partner's happiness and then crush their dreams. They don't want to make them feel bad and, as a result, dislike the singer's friends. The singer also expresses concern about making their partner's mother upset at dinner and running into her at the mall. Interestingly, the song takes its name from a chain of haircutting establishments found in the United States, commonly frequented by people on a budget, and suggests that the mother "hates my guts," indicating some past turbulence in the relationship.
Overall, "Supercuts" is a song about honesty and authenticity. The singer acknowledges that their relationship is not working--though it may have appeared that way to others--and they are taking responsibility for ending it. They feel that the time has come to move on and be happy. It's a universal feeling that anyone who's been in a relationship can relate to, and Zucker captures it well.
Line by Line Meaning
I thought
I believed
I would be good by now
I would have things figured out at this point
I'd have it figured all out
I would understand everything
We skipped the scenic route
We took the fast track
And oh well
Too bad
At least I never lied
I was always honest
Still I'm always the bad guy
Nevertheless, I'm the villain
So much for being nice
It seems being kind doesn't help
'Cause I don't wanna be someone who makes you happy
Because I don't want to be the person who brings you joy
Then lets you down, we'll both feel crappy
Only to disappoint you in the end, leaving us both feeling miserable
I'll hate your friends when this shit ends, well alright
I will despise your pals when this love story concludes
And I don't wanna make your mama cry at dinner
Moreover, I do not wish to cause your mother's tears during meals
And see her at the mall next winter
Or, run into her during next year's shopping season
At Supercuts, she hates my guts, well alright
While getting her hair done at Supercuts, she strongly dislikes me, okay
But I don't
However, I do not
Don't need a hand to hold
I am independent and do not require someone to comfort me
Don't need you to console me
I do not need your sympathy
It's honestly getting old
Honestly, this is getting tiring
Well, I've thought
I have contemplated
Of so many places we could go
Of numerous destinations we could visit
Well, maybe I'm better off at home
Perhaps I am better suited staying at home
Maybe I'm better on my own
Maybe I am better off alone
Find me drowning in this bullshit again
Discover me submersed in this nonsense once more
Started something that we're just gonna end
Initiated something that will inevitably come to a close
Wonder if we would be better as friends
Questioning whether a platonic relationship would be more advantageous
But we won't
However, we will not

Dear Jeremy,
You are my inspiration, my light, and your music are my feelings.
I've been with you since you first started ( in 2011) and you've been helping me out since.
I'm not that good of a student and I failed some grades. My parents and I never really got along. And they were less friendly to me after I got my grades. And after a while, I considered committing suicide.
And when I was on the verge of ending my life, I found you.
You made me realize that my life doesn't depend on what I wrote on a piece of paper. You gave me a voice, to start fighting back against those who discouraged me, told me I'd never make it, and tortured me all throughout my life.
After that, they left me completely. And I was grateful.
I started on music and found something I understood and loved.
So, thank you.
Thank you for getting me through my life, and helping me survive.
I will always be grateful to you and will always,
Always,
Be in your dept.

I thought
I would be good by now
I’d have it figured all out
We skipped the scenic route
And oh well
At least I never lied
Still I’m always the bad guy
So much for being nice
‘Cause I don’t wanna be someone who makes you happy
Then lets you down, we’ll both feel crappy
I’ll hate your friends when this shit ends, well alright
And I don’t wanna make your mamma cry at dinner
And see her at the mall next winter
At Supercuts, she hates my guts, well alright
But I don’t
Don’t need a hand to hold
Don’t need you to console me
It’s honestly getting old
Well I’ve thought
Of so many places we could go
Well maybe I’m better off at home
Maybe I’m better on my own
‘Cause I don’t wanna be someone who makes you happy
Then lets you down, we’ll both feel crappy
I’ll hate your friends when this shit ends, well alright
And I don’t wanna make your mamma cry at dinner
And see her at the mall next winter
At Supercuts, she hates my guts, well alright
Found me drowning in this bullshit again
Started something that we’re just gonna end
Wonder if we would be better as friends
But we won’t
‘Cause I don’t wanna be someone who makes you happy
Then lets you down, we’ll both feel crappy
I’ll hate your friends when this shit ends, well alright
And I don’t wanna make your mamma cry at dinner
And see her at the mall next winter
At Supercuts, she hates my guts, well alright
