Am I Safe?
Lover Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A megastar in glam I am
I am what bobby is to pam
Khashoggi to iran I am
Looking in the mirror
The beauty that I see
It's hard to be this grand for free
You'll never live to be
A charismatic star like me
God created man from dust
And man replied with sin and lust
God created man from dust
Eternal youth on solid ground
Beauty makes the world go round
Beauty makes the world go round
Amen
I am the pinnacle of man
A superselling brand I am
I am a record label scam
The biggest in japan I am
Entering the ballrooms
The clocks come to a still
The multimillionaires I thrill
Headline of the columns
My duellantes I kill
The pantheon obeys my will
Law of nature since big bang
Cry like young wurther sturm und drang
Law of nature since big bang
And louder than the wall of sound
Beauty makes the world go round
Beauty makes the world go round
Amen
I am a liberace fan
A megastar in glam I am
I am what bobby is to pam
Khashoggi to iran I am
You're so selfish
You son of a
Egomaniac
Egomaniac
Egomaniac
God created man from dust
And man replied with sin and lust
God created man from dust
Eternal youth on solid ground
Beauty makes the world go round
Beauty makes the world go round
Amen
I am a liberace fan
A megastar in glam I am
I am what bobby is to pam
Khashoggi to iran I am
I am the pinnacle of man
A superselling brand I am
I am a record label scam
The biggest in japan I am
It's real it's grand I am
In the song "Am I Safe?" by Lover, the lyrics delve into the complicated psyche of a character who exudes grandiosity and excessive self-importance. The repeated assertion of being a Liberace fan at the beginning of the song sets the tone for someone who admires flamboyance, extravagance, and fame. The comparison to significant figures like Bobby and Pam, as well as Khashoggi and Iran, implies a sense of power and influence that the singer believes they possess in their own world.
As the lyrics progress, there is a reflection on the outer beauty that the character sees in themselves, which they acknowledge is not easily attainable for others. This sense of superiority and charisma is displayed through their belief that they are a charismatic star above others, and the notion that others can never reach their level of grandeur. The lyrics also touch upon religious themes, with references to God creating man from dust and the intertwining of sin, lust, and beauty in the world.
The character describes themselves as the pinnacle of man, a brand unto themselves with a larger-than-life persona. They boast about being a record label scam and the biggest in Japan, further solidifying their inflated sense of self-worth and material success. The lyrics also touch upon the idea of attracting attention and admiration in social settings, where the character thrills the multimillionaires and exerts power over their adversaries.
The bridge of the song delves into philosophical musings on the nature of creation and human behavior since the beginning of time. There is a juxtaposition between the chaos and emotional turmoil experienced by individuals against the backdrop of the eternal allure of beauty that permeates the world. The repeated refrain of "Beauty makes the world go round" ties in with the overarching theme of vanity, power, and self-absorption that the character embodies throughout the song. Ultimately, the character's egomaniacal tendencies are confronted in the closing lines of the lyrics, leaving a lingering question of self-awareness and introspection amidst the grandiosity and bravado expressed throughout the song.

It's real it's grand I am
I am authentic and truly magnificent

Thank you so much for making this! I've been so scared to fall in love again. It doesn't help that I keep coming across stories on social media of women who got cheated on and we're abused by men. I have been closed off for so long, but deep down all I want is a healthy loving relationship
@youraffirmationstation
Aw Im so glad this can help you. It was requested by a subscriber ♥️ Best thing to do is stay away from social media for awhile and get back to the core of what you truly desire. You call the shots, don’t let fears of others to attach to you. Focus on the end and what that looks like.. I imagine a healthy loving relationship. Focus on your self worth and value. You got this ♥️
