Self Sabotage
MASN Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Gonna break my heart, so I'm tearing it apart
I won't let your hands on it
'Cause once it's broke it, can't be fixed
A little self-sabotage
Never hurt anyone
You look like the next girl that's
Gonna break my heart, so I'm tearing it apart
Met you at the night spot
Frozen margaritas
You were fire like these Red Hots
Twisting up my tongue (twisting up my tongue)
This is so annoying, man
Usually I can't stop
Saw you out there on the floor
My rationale went out the door
A drink turned into three or four
Think I've seen this type of you before
You look like the next girl that's
Gonna break my heart, so I'm tearing it apart
I won't let your hands on it
'Cause once it's broke, it can't be fixed
A little self-sabotage
Never hurt anyone
You look like the next girl that's
Gonna break my heart, so I'm tearing it apart
Look me in my tired eyes (tired eyes, tired eyes)
I know I'm a mess, but at least I make it look nice
Comes as no surprise
I think you told me once
Now I'm thinking you should tell me twice
Saw you out there on the floor
My rationale went out the door
A drink turned into three or four
Think I've seen this type of you before
You look like the next girl that's
Gonna break my heart, so I'm tearing it apart
I won't let your hands on it
'Cause once it's broke, it can't be fixed
A little self-sabotage
Never hurt anyone
You look like the next girl that's
Gonna break my heart, so I'm tearing it apart
In "Self Sabotage" by MASN, the lyrics depict a sense of self-awareness and caution in matters of the heart. The singer expresses their fear of getting hurt by someone who appears to be like the previous individuals who have broken their heart. They use the metaphor of tearing their heart apart to emphasize their determination to protect themselves from potential pain.
The song highlights the concept of self-sabotage, where the singer intentionally sabotages any potential relationship before it even begins. They believe that this act of self-protection will prevent them from experiencing heartbreak again. The repetition of the line "You look like the next girl that's gonna break my heart" emphasizes the singer's pessimism and their assumption that history will repeat itself.
In the verses, the singer recounts meeting someone at a night spot. The reference to "Frozen margaritas" and "Red Hots" adds a playful element to the encounters, but the tone turns more serious when the singer acknowledges their issue of self-sabotage. They mention their inability to control their attraction and how it often leads them into self-destructive patterns.
Overall, "Self Sabotage" delves into the inner conflict of someone grappling with their past traumas in relationships. It explores the idea of projecting past experiences onto new people and the fear of repeating past mistakes. Ultimately, the song captures the internal struggle between wanting to be vulnerable and fearing the consequences of doing so.
