Cooler Than Me
MIKEPOSNER Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I would already have you up under my arm
I used up all my tricks, I hope that you like this
But, you probably won't, you think you're cooler than me
You got designer shades just to hide your face
And you wear 'em around like you're cooler than me
And you never say hey, or remember my name
And it's probably 'cause you think you're cooler than me
You got your high brow, shoes on your feet
And you wear 'em around like it ain't shit
But you don't know the way that you look
When your steps make that much noise
Shh, I got you all figured out
You need everyone's eyes just to feel seen
Behind your make up nobody knows who you even are
Who do you think that you are
If I could write you a song to make you fall in love
I would already have you up under my arm
I used up all my tricks, I hope that you like this
But, you probably won't, you think you're cooler than me
You got designer shades just to hide your face
And you wear 'em around like you're cooler than me
And you never say hey, or remember my name
And it's probably 'cause you think you're cooler than me
You got your high brow, switchin' your walk
And you don't even look when you pass by
But you don't know the way that you look
When your steps make that much noise
Shh, I got you all figured out
You need everyone's eyes just to feel seen
Behind your make up nobody knows who you even are
Who do you think that you are
'Cause it's your scene, (it's your scene)
I got no doubt
We all see
You got your head in the clouds
If I could write you a song to make you fall in love
I would already have you up under my arm
I used up all my tricks, I hope that you like this
But, you probably won't, you think you're cooler than me
You got designer shades just to hide your face
And you wear 'em around like you're cooler than me
And you never say hey, or remember my name
And it's probably 'cause you think you're cooler than me
The lyrics of Cooler Than Me by MIKEPOSNER is a reflection of the singer's observations of a person whom they believe to be arrogant and thinks highly of themselves. The song begins with the singer stating that if they could write a song that would make the person fall in love with them, they would have done it already. This shows that the singer is already infatuated with this person, but they are not reciprocating the feelings.
The lyrics go on to describe the other person's behavior, which the singer finds unappealing. The person wears designer shades to hide their face, and the singer sees this as an attempt to seem cooler than they are. They also don't acknowledge the singer, which is probably due to the person thinking they are superior. The singer further describes the other person's behavior, including their high brow and loud walk, which they believe is an attempt to seem important.
Towards the end of the song, the singer reveals that they have figured the other person out, and it seems like they are trying too hard to be noticed. They appear to need everyone's eyes on them to feel validated, but behind all of their makeup and appearances, no one truly knows the real them. The song ends with the singer acknowledging that the other person is in their own world and thinking they are better than everyone else.
