Disgusting
Miranda Cosgrove Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

My heart booms
At the speed of light
But the exit sign's
Always on my mind
Always in my sight
I can say that I
Really want to stay
But the devil inside
Always wins the fight
Always gets his way

Jump out the window
Gotta get out on the highway
When things are getting too attached
I need an escape
I'm seeing stars and there is
Nothing more that I hate
Baby, there's something that I gotta say

It's disgusting how I love you
I can't take it, I should hate you
Cause you're messing up my name
Gotta walk my talk, my fame
But I just wanna touch your face
It's disgusting
It's disgusting how you changed me
From a bandit to a baby
Think I might gotta change my name
If I'm gonna walk this walk in shame
Look at what you do to me, it's disgusting

My mind blinks
Like a traffic light
It's green and red
And stop and go
Changing all the time
And it makes me scared
That I haven't left
And I'm still right here
More, more, more or less

Jump out in traffic
Yeah, I gotta go my own way
My heart is slipping, too intense
I need an escape
I'm seeing stars and there is
Nothing more that I hate
Baby, there's something that I gotta say

It's disgusting how I love you
I can't take it, I should hate you
Cause you're messing up my name
Gotta walk my talk, my fame
But I just wanna touch your face
It's disgusting
It's disgusting how you changed me
From a bandit to a baby
Think I might gotta change my name
If I'm gonna walk this walk of shame
Look at what you do to me, it's disgusting

Chapter by chapter
I'm falling faster and faster
Becoming manic, the magic
It's so romantic, I panic oh
Hit the eject button but
It must be stuck, something's up
I'm drifting out
Right over the brink, baby

It's disgusting how I love you
I can't take it, I should hate you
Cause you're messing up my name
Gotta walk my talk, my fame
But I just wanna touch your face
It's disgusting
It's disgusting how you changed me
From a bandit to a baby
Think I might gotta change my name
If I'm gonna walk this walk of shame




Look at what you do to me, it's disgusting
Look at what you do to me, it's disgusting

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Miranda Cosgrove's song Disgusting express the internal conflict and struggle that one feels when they are in love but also feel like it is wrong for them. The opening lines, "My heart booms at the speed of light, but the exit sign's always on my mind, always in my sight" creates a sense of unease and desperation. The singer wants to stay but feels like they need to leave, and the devil inside always wins the fight.


The chorus, "It's disgusting how I love you, I can't take it, I should hate you, cause you're messing up my name, gotta walk my talk, my fame, but I just wanna touch your face" speaks to the internal conflict of the singer feeling like they shouldn't love the person they do because it may damage their reputation, but they can't help how they feel. The line, "It's disgusting how you changed me from a bandit to a baby, think I might gotta change my name if I'm gonna walk this walk of shame, look at what you do to me, it's disgusting" juxtaposes the singer's former rebellious identity with their current vulnerable state, which they perceive as shameful, and are considering a change.


The bridge, "Chapter by chapter I'm falling faster and faster, becoming manic, the magic, it's so romantic, I panic oh, hit the eject button but, it must be stuck, something's up, I'm drifting out, right over the brink, baby" conveys the singer's frenzied state of mind, illustrating their conflicting emotions and the difficulty they face in trying to navigate such intense feelings. The song as a whole is a message of wanting to escape, but knowing that they cannot because of the love they feel.
