glamorous
Mom Jeans Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To not have to care about anything or anyone?
It's not that I don't like you anymore
I think that I'm just having trouble
Feeling successful in my own life
Maybe we could take some time to think
So I'll cut off all my fingers at the bone
'Cause its easier than trying to be okay
It's not as glamorous as you thought it'd be
It's not as easy as everyone made it seem
Why did it ever feel like a good idea to be alone?
So what's it gonna take
For these feelings to disappear?
What else can I do
To make my anxieties go away?
How else can I try
To get by without ending it all?
When there's nowhere you can run
I promise I'll still be the one
You can call when you can't sleep
And someday we'll look back and say
"why were we ever so afraid
To say how we feel?"
The Mom Jeans's song "Glamorous" is a deeply introspective and somewhat melancholic song that explores the struggles of the singer in finding meaning and fulfillment in their own life. The first verse of the song finds the singer contemplating the idea of not having to care about anything or anyone and feeling successful in their own life. However, the singer begins to realize that the pursuit of success is not as easy as it seems and they may need some time to think. In the second verse, the singer expresses their insecurities and anxieties, questioning what else they can do to make these feelings go away and how they can get by without ending it all.
One of the most striking lines in the song is "So I'll cut off all my fingers at the bone 'Cause it's easier than trying to be okay With the parts of me that I don't like." This line is a metaphor for the self-destructive behavior of the singer, who would rather inflict physical harm on themselves than confront and deal with the parts of themselves they don't like. The songwriter vividly conveys the struggles of the singer, who feels lost and inadequately prepared for the challenges ahead.
One of the most significant takeaways from this song is its exploration of the themes of mental health, anxiety, and self-loathing. It speaks to those who have ever felt like they are not enough, and they are struggling to find purpose and meaning in their lives. This song is a reminder to be gentle with ourselves and to seek support from others when we need it.
