Look at Me
Josh Small Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's in this place
Shit on my face
If you don't want to see me fucked up
Well you're shit out of luck
It's my one saving grace
I'm gonna tell you it don't smell
To high hell
I'm trying my best
It's not enough
What about the swears
Do they matter enough?
Tell me, tell me, tell me
Tell me, tell me, tell me
Look at me, look at me, look at me
Look at me, look at me, look at me
Tell me, tell me, tell me
Tell me, tell me, tell me
Look at me, look at me, look at me
Look at me, look at me, look at me
Tell me, tell me, tell me
Tell me, tell me, tell me
The lyrics of Look At Me by Josh Small depict a person who is struggling with addiction and all the consequences that come with it. The line "It's on my bed, it's in this place" alludes to the presence of drugs in the singer's life, and "shit on my face" could be interpreted as the shame and embarrassment that they feel because of their addiction. The next line "If you don't want to see me fucked up, well you're shit out of luck" suggests that the singer feels powerless and unable to control their addiction, despite possibly wanting to.
The following verse talks about the physical effects of drug use, with the line "It's not enough, what about the swears, do they matter enough?" implying that the singer is aware of the harm they are causing themselves but cannot stop. The refrain of "Tell me, look at me" and the repetition of the phrase "look at me" in the chorus can be interpreted as a plea for someone to acknowledge their struggle and see them for who they are, beyond their addiction.
Overall, the lyrics of Look At Me convey a raw and honest portrayal of addiction and its effects on an individual. The singer exposes their vulnerability and desperation for support and understanding from others.

It's on my bed
I have something on my bed
It's in this place
This thing is also present in my surroundings
Shit on my face
I am in a bad situation

This is the one thing that brings me comfort
I'm gonna tell you it don't smell

It's not enough
But my efforts are not sufficient
