I'm a Mess
Murmurs Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I just smoked myself right into this chair
I've had no revelations
Got no future plans
So many expectations
And no one understands
I'm a mess
I ruin everything, it's never enough
Got a tired alter-ego that's always giving up
I used to be the girl that everybody loved
And now I'm just too much
I'm a mess
I'm bored with myself
I'm tired of this life
I'm falling apart
Can't even take advice
I'm so gone, need my prescription to relax
Now, I'm wasted like the rest
I'm a mess, I'm a mess
The lyrics to Murmurs' song "I'm A Mess" convey a sense of despair and hopelessness. In the first stanza, the singer expresses dissatisfaction with their current state of being and wishes they could disappear. They feel stuck, unable to make any future plans or meet the expectations of others. The repetition of "I'm a mess" emphasizes the singer's feelings of inadequacy and low self-worth.
In the second stanza, the singer admits to ruining everything and feeling like they're not enough. They describe a tired alter-ego that's always giving up, suggesting that they're struggling with self-sabotage and a lack of motivation. The line "I used to be the girl that everybody loved" implies that the singer has lost their former sense of confidence and identity. Again, the repetition of "I'm a mess" drives home the idea that the singer feels broken and hopeless.
Overall, "I'm A Mess" is a poignant expression of the kind of emotional turmoil that many people experience at one time or another. The lyrics capture a sense of frustration and disconnection, as well as the internal struggle to find meaning and purpose in life.
