Cooler Than Me
Mike Posner [Feat. Big Sean] 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 Mike Posner featuring Big Sean speak of a person who believes that they are better than others and are untouchable. The singer seems to be acknowledging that he has tried all different ways to impress this individual, but they remain unimpressed. He also observes that this person wears designer shades and shoes, and walks around like they own the place, trying to show off how cool they are. In the end, the singer recognizes that this person is just trying too hard to fit in, as they need everyone's attention to feel seen while hiding behind a façade of makeup.
The song can be interpreted in different ways. Some suggest that the lyrics reflect the obsession that people have with social status and fitting in. The song implies that it is futile to try hard to be someone else to fit in because it will never work, and one should embrace their true selves instead. The lyrics also highlight the importance of staying true to oneself and not trying to change or hide behind designer clothes, makeup, or other accessories.

You got your head in the clouds
You're delusional and have unrealistic expectations of yourself.
