Minuit Machine Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Addiction
Self-love
Security
It’s never about love
It’s never about love
It’s about what you need to survive
To feel alive
You never give
You never feel
You never feel
I’m here to heal
I’m here to feed
Your self-esteem
I’m here to feed
Your vanity
There’s something wrong with the way you love
It’s an addiction
it’s vanity
There’s something wrong with the way you love
It’s vanity
You wanna know
How much it hurts
To care so much
You wanna know
How much I hate
When you take
There’s something wrong with the way you love me
Your vanity
There’s something wrong with the way you love me
Your vanity
It’s not about love
It’s an addiction
It’s vanity
It’s about what you need to do to survive
To feel alive
It’s an addiction
There’s something wrong with the way you love
There’s something wrong with the way you love
There’s something wrong with the way you love me
There’s something wrong with the way you love me
It’s vanity
It’s not about love
It’s an addiction
It’s vanity
The lyrics of Minuit Machine's song "Vanity" delve into the themes of addiction, self-love, and security in the context of a dysfunctional relationship. The singer addresses their partner, asserting that their behavior is driven by vanity rather than love. The partner's actions are described as selfish, unfeeling, and unsatisfying. The singer positions themselves as the healing presence in the relationship, offering to feed their partner's self-esteem and vanity. The hook of the song repeats the refrain, "There's something wrong with the way you love," emphasizing the toxic nature of the relationship.
Throughout the song, the lyrics express a sense of frustration with the ways in which the partner's vanity and addiction to love are all-consuming and hurtful. The line "It's not about love, it's an addiction, it's vanity" encapsulates this sentiment - the partner's behavior is not motivated by genuine love but by an overwhelming need for validation.
Overall, the lyrics of "Vanity" paint a picture of a relationship that is fraught with power imbalances and insecurities. While the singer is positioned as the more emotionally mature and nurturing partner, it's clear that their own sense of self-worth is starting to erode in the face of their partner's unrelenting vanity and selfishness.
