Malleable
Max Leone Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Postcard to a new friend
Nice to see you again
Looks like social climbin'
From the place that I stand
Don't forget our mutuals
Saw you act unusual
Feels like that's the usual
If I'm being truthful

You've changed and it sucks
There's nothing I could have done
'Cause you've been to everywhere and it doesn't break you
No, I don't know you anymore

Yeah
Levels low, you're stoopin'
Stealing lights in rooms and you know what you're doin'
Shitty point you're provin'
Scary thing is you're fine
Cool with wastin' my time
Read about this online
Says you'll never realize

You've changed and it sucks
There's nothing I could have done
'Cause you've been to everywhere and it doesn't break you
No, I don't know you anymore


Yeah

Overall Meaning

In Max Leone's song "Malleable", the lyrics describe a sense of disillusionment and disappointment towards a friend who has changed over time, specifically in the way they interact with others and their priorities in life. The opening lines indicate a sort of superficiality or insincerity in their social behavior, with lines like "Looks like social climbin'" and "Saw you act unusual". The singer acknowledges their own discomfort with the situation, confessing "If I'm being truthful" and expressing a sense of loss in their friendship, indicated by the repeated refrain "No, I don't know you anymore."


As the song progresses, the singer's frustration becomes more pronounced, with lines like "Stealing lights in rooms and you know what you're doin'" and "Cool with wastin' my time". There is a sense of anger and betrayal towards the friend, who seems to have moved on without considering the impact on others. The repeated motif of "You've changed and it sucks" adds to this emotional weight, and the final line "Says you'll never realize" implies a futility in attempting to salvage the relationship.


Overall, "Malleable" presents a clear message about the difficulties of navigating changing relationships and the sense of loss that can come with them. The lyrics convey a mood of melancholy, as well as a defiance and sense of self-respect in recognizing when it's time to move on from toxic relationships.
