Kimberly Freeman Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Not all I'm cracked up to be
Maybe I'm a little impure
Fall down enough you get dirty
Insecure
Insecure
Tell me what you think of me
Guess I prefer make believe
To your so-called reality
Insecure
Insecure
Don't worry about me
Stop looking if you don't like what you see
You can't hurt me anymore
I know you're just insecure
Maybe I don't brush my hair
That doesn't make me ugly
Maybe all the clothes I wear
Are second hand well most were free
Insecure
Insecure
Don't worry about me
Stop looking if you don't like what you see
You can't hurt me anymore
I know you're just insecure
Maybe I'm always broke
Well money doesn't ask for autographs
Maybe when I tell a joke
I'm the only one who laughs
Insecure
Insecure
Don't worry about me
Stop looking if you don't like what you see
You can't hurt me anymore
I know you're just insecure
The song "Insecure" by Kimberly Freeman is an anthem about self-acceptance and self-love. Freeman describes feeling insecure and imperfect, but also sees the flaws in those who criticize her. She questions whether her insecurity stems from her own downfalls, such as being impure, naive, or unkempt. Freeman's repetition of the word "insecure" in the chorus suggests how deeply rooted these feelings are, but also represents embracing her imperfections. The song highlights the importance of not letting others' opinions hold the power to hurt her, as Freeman becomes more self-aware and confident in herself.
The lyrics are layered with metaphors for beauty standards and societal expectations. Freeman acknowledges that she does not conform to them, which leads her to perceive herself as insecure. She sings about not brushing her hair, wearing second-hand clothes and not having money, which is a representation of not being part of the elite or privileged class. This alludes to how society values physical appearance and wealth over character and personality, making one feel out of place if they cannot meet these expectations. The lyrics provide a reassurance that it is okay to be different and not meet the conventional standards of beauty or affluence, as one can still find value and self-worth in being true to themselves.
