Mutoid Man Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
singing only their song
They live in vaccuum
Well that's where they belong
I'm never gonna fall in love
with myself
I'm never gonna fall in love
with myself
saying 'look at me please'
I choose to unfollow
when they hunt for disease
I'm never gonna fall in love
with myself
I'm never gonna fall in love
with myself
The lyrics to Mutoid Man's song "Gnarcissist" involve a rejection of excessive self-absorption and vanity. The singer expresses a lack of patience for people who are always promoting themselves and seeking attention, even if they are talented or accomplished. The phrase "singing only their song" suggests that these individuals are only interested in promoting their own interests and perspectives, rather than valuing the input or ideas of others. The idea that they "live in a vacuum" implies that their self-absorption has isolated them from the wider world, and that they are not interested in engaging with anyone outside of their own ego-driven bubble.
The refrain, "I'm never gonna fall in love with myself," serves to underline the singer's rejection of narcissism. The phrase "fall in love" has a romantic connotation, highlighting the idea that self-absorption can be seductive and tempting. However, by insisting that they will never be tempted into self-love, the singer asserts their independence and suggests that they are more interested in connecting with others and the world around them.
Overall, Mutoid Man's "Gnarcissist" is a call to reject the allure of self-absorption and to embrace a more humble and compassionate approach to life.
