POSER
MAX Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Say it soft in my ear
I'm not used to it here
Got me acting real weird

Say it's harder to watch
You only live for yourself
Put your friends on a shelf
Do you keep to yourself?
Or are you Posing girl?
Stuck in your own little world

Say it soft in my ear
Why're you acting so weird?
I'm just trying to be clear

Say it's harder to watch
You can't run from yourself
Friends left the shelf
You should keep to yourself
Or are you Posing girl?
Stuck in your own little world





Man I'm Tryin'

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of MÄX's song POSER seem to be directed towards a girl who is pretending to be someone she is not. The lyricist expresses confusion and discomfort at her behavior, reacting with weirdness and asking for clarification. The girl in question is accused of living only for herself, putting her friends on a shelf, and being stuck in her own little world. However, the song suggests that her posturing may be an act of self-deception and that she may not even be aware of it. Despite the confrontational tone, the lyricist is also trying to understand the girl's motives and is open to listening to her.


The line "Say it soft in my ear" suggests that the girl's true feelings may be difficult for her to express publicly, and the lyricist is trying to create a safe space for her to share them. However, the repetition of the phrase "Say it's harder to watch" indicates that the girl's behavior is causing frustration and confusion, and that the lyricist may be losing patience with her. Overall, the song seems to be a compassionate but firm call to action for the girl to stop posing and be true to herself.
