Cooler Than Me
Neon Hitch Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To make you fall in love
I would already have you up
Under my arm
I used up all of my tricks
I hope that you like this but
You probably won't
You got designer shades just
To hide your face and
You wear 'em around like
You're cooler than me
And you never say hey or
Remember my name and
It's probably because
You think you're cooler than me
You got your high brow
Shoes on your feet and
You wear 'em around like
It ain't shit
But you don't know
The way that you look, when
Your steps make that much noise (sh)
See, I've got you
All figured out
You meet everyone's eyes just
To feel seen
Behind your makeup
Nobody knows who
You ever are
Who do you think that you are?
If I could write you a song
To make you fall in love
I would already have you up
Under my arm
I used up all of my tricks
I hope that you like this, but
You probably won't
You think you're cooler than me
You got designer shades just
To hide your face and
You wear 'em around like
You're cooler than me
And you never say hey or
Remember my name and
It's probably because
You think you're cooler than me
You got your high brow
Switching your walk
And you don't even look
When you pass by
But you don't know
The way that you look when
Your steps make that much noise (sh)
See, I've got you
All figured out
You meet everyone's eyes
Just to feel seen
Behind your makeup
Nobody knows who
You even are
Who do you think that you are?
If I could write you a song
To make you fall in love
I would already have you up
Under my arm
I used up all of my tricks
I hope that you like this
But you probably won't
You think you're cooler than me
You got designer shades just
To hide you face and
You wear 'em around like
You're cooler than me
And you never say hey or
Remember my name and
It's probably because
You think you're cooler than me
In "Cooler Than Me" by Neon Hitch, the lyrics express frustration and a sense of inferiority towards someone who thinks they are superior. The singer expresses their desire to impress this person, possibly in a romantic sense, by writing them a song that would make them fall in love. However, the singer acknowledges that they have already used up all their tricks and doubts that the recipient will even like the song. The person being addressed is described as someone who wears designer shades to hide their face and carries themselves as if they are better than others. They never acknowledge the singer and act disinterested, which leads the singer to believe that they consider themselves cooler and more important.
The lyrics also highlight the superficiality of the person being addressed. The reference to their "high brow shoes" suggests a sense of self-importance and arrogance. Despite their attempts to appear confident and superior, the singer sees through their facade. They mention how the person doesn't realize how they come across when they walk, making loud steps and drawing attention to themselves.
Overall, "Cooler Than Me" is a commentary on people who think highly of themselves and maintain a distant and superior attitude towards others. The singer expresses their frustration but also acknowledges their own attempts to gain validation from this person.

Neon Hitch is just absolutely amaze balls in every single way. I love the way she shifts songs and makes it fit for her voice and style. Rock on love. Rock on
@sdtigerlily
How she manages to sound better than the original on every single cover she's done is amazing!
@kiere55
This is so legit, it's ridiculous. lol I love how it sounds on that piano. And then how the drums come in, then the bells, then the beautiful flute. Then halfway it switches to that electric sound and goes techno on you. I love it..
@jacobmatton7588
The transition to dance music was soooo good!!!
@jasonunderlyne
Nobody is cooler than NEON HITCH!
