alone with my vanity
alone with vanity
alone with my vanity
alone with my vanity
Cigarettes leave greying marks of
emptiness and sterns remarks
Too much mess
Too little time
Overused by quantity
Alone with my vanity
alone with my vanity
alone with my vanity
Little messy get up
The lyrics of "Vanity" by Lydmor & Bon Homme delve into the idea of being alone with one's own vanity. The repetition of the phrase "alone with my vanity" emphasizes the isolation and self-centeredness that comes with an excessive focus on one's appearance or ego. It highlights the emptiness that can arise from constantly seeking validation through external means.
The mention of cigarettes leaving "greying marks of emptiness and stern remarks" suggests that indulging in unhealthy habits or vices can further contribute to a sense of emptiness and dissatisfaction. The "slacky poses mirror time" line portrays a shallow obsession with image, where time is wasted on perfecting a certain persona instead of engaging with personal growth or meaningful experiences.
The chorus, which repeats the phrase "alone with my vanity," serves as a reminder of the self-imposed solitude that comes with being consumed by one's own self-importance. It suggests a lack of connection with others and a focus on superficial aspects rather than genuine relationships. The final line, "little messy get up," implies that despite the efforts to create a flawless appearance, there is still a disarray or imperfection beneath the surface.
Overall, "Vanity" explores the consequences of excessive self-obsession and the loneliness that accompanies it. It serves as a reflection on the superficiality of society and the need for deeper connections and self-expression beyond appearances.
