I'm Still Me
Mary-Kate & Ashley Olsen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just use your imagination
Can you see me on the cover of a magazine?
Like the beautiful models that everyone's seen
Vogue or Chic or Mademiselle
It's all so glamorous, and I couldn't tell
That on the outside it's as cool as can be
Chorus:
I can be anything I want
I can be anything I need
Make believing all day long
But on the inside I'm still me
What do you see when you look at me?
Through the lens of a fashion camera
Striking a pose like a Covergirl
Whose picture is famous all over the world
Donna Karen, Calvin Klein
Fashion fun is so divine
On the outside it's as cool as can be
But on the inside I'm still me
Chorus
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah
I can be anything that I want
I can be anything that I need
Whoo!
Make-believing all day long
But on the inside I'm still me
The lyrics of Mary-Kate & Ashley Olsen's song "I'm Still Me" reflect on the superficiality of the fashion industry and how it presents an image of perfection that is unattainable. The song is about individuality and self-acceptance, and how it is important to remain true to oneself even when faced with societal pressure to conform to the norms of what is considered beautiful.
The verses of the song express the glamorous side of modeling that is portrayed through magazines, and how it is an illusion that one's exterior is just as perfect as their images on the cover. The line "on the outside it's as cool as can be, but on the inside I'm still me" implies that despite the appearances, there is more to a person that their physical appearance. The chorus emphasizes that one can aspire to be anything they want, but they should not lose their individuality in the process.
Through the lyrics of the song, Mary-Kate & Ashley Olsen promote the importance of self-love and authenticity. Ultimately, the message is to not allow anyone or anything to pressure one into believing that they must be someone they're not, and to instead own their unique traits and embrace them.
