Mr.Moore Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But it's all that I do
What do I need that I can't
Get from you?
Seems like you're never off the clock
Hands at ten and two
I'm driving through this world like
I'd rather lose
I'd rather lose
If the only way to win
Is by breaking all the rules
I'd rather lose
I'd rather lose
If the only way to win
Is by breaking all the rules
I'd rather lose
Every picture that I take
Every word that I say
Ends up a footnote on my resume
Are you happy with your life?
Am I happy with mine?
Where is the innocence
We hid behind?
And who were those kids
Who knew where to draw the line?
I'd rather lose
I'd rather lose
If the only way to win
Is by breaking all the rules
I'd rather lose
I'd rather lose
If the only way to win
Is by breaking all the rules
I'd rather lose
We only get one chance in this life
And I won't spend it playing with you
Some people roll the dice and
Some people doctor the truth
I'd rather lose
I'd rather lose
If the only way to win
Is by breaking all the rules
I'd rather lose
I'd rather lose
If the only way to win
Is by breaking all the rules
I'd rather lose
Oh, I'd rather lose
In Mr. Moore's song ID, he expresses his disappointment with the current state of the world and the way people live their lives. He hates the fact that he spends most of his time looking at his phone and wonders what he needs that he can't get from the people around him. He is critical of our obsession with technology and how it has taken over our lives. Mr. Moore is also critical of those who are always busy and never seem to have any downtime. He questions their relentless work ethic and wonders if they are truly happy with their lives.
The lyrics "I'd rather lose, if the only way to win is by breaking all the rules" suggest that Mr. Moore would rather give up than compromise his values. He is willing to lose if winning means doing the wrong thing or compromising what he believes in. Moore argues that some people will do anything to get ahead, even if it means lying or cheating. However, he would rather remain true to himself and accept defeat.
Line by Line Meaning
I hate looking at my phone
I despise constantly being on my phone and relying on it for everything.
But it's all that I do
Sadly, it seems that my phone is the only source of information, entertainment, and communication in my life.
What do I need that I can't
Get from you?
I wonder, is there anything that I can't get from a human connection that I can only seem to obtain from my phone?
Seems like you're never off the clock
Hands at ten and two
It's as though you're always on call and can't let your guard down, even for a second.
I'm driving through this world like
Someone's after you
I feel like I'm in a constant state of paranoia, rushing through life as if I'm being hunted by something or someone.
Every picture that I take
Every word that I say
Ends up a footnote on my resume
It seems like everything I do and say, every action I perform and every post I make, contributes to a digital record of my life that will be analyzed and judged in the future.
Are you happy with your life?
Am I happy with mine?
Where is the innocence
We hid behind?
I'm questioning whether I'm happy with the life I'm living, and where did the carefree innocence of my childhood go?
And who were those kids
Who knew where to draw the line?
I'm contemplating who I used to be and who I am now, wondering why I seem incapable of knowing when to stop, when to disconnect, and when to draw a line between my virtual and real lives.
We only get one chance in this life
And I won't spend it playing with you
Some people roll the dice and
Some people doctor the truth
I refuse to sacrifice my one chance at life chasing trivial virtual pursuits and people who aren't worth my time or emotional investment. Some people are willing to take risks and manipulate the truth to get ahead, but I'm not one of them.
I'd rather lose
If the only way to win
Is by breaking all the rules
I'd rather accept my losses and stay true to myself than win at any cost by betraying my values and morals.
I'd rather lose
If the only way to win
Is by breaking all the rules
I refuse to compromise myself to achieve success because losing is still better than compromising my integrity and authenticity.
I'd rather lose
Repeating the line from the chorus emphasizes the importance of staying true to oneself and not being blinded by the notion of success.
