Look At Me
Nextro Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I could see it in your eyes, you were feeling alive
Why tell you I was good, why the fuck would I lie
I remember that time we were sippin' on wine
I could see it in your eyes, you were feeling alive
Why tell you I was good, why the fuck would I lie
I could fill your cup girl, I could make you slow down
I can show you up baby, I'ma pour a for
Sippin' all day baby what you waiting for?
If you need a drink I got drugs on me
Gotta watch for the 12 I got drugs on me
I′ve been going hard, I′ve been working OT
I'ma make a stack put in on my mommy
I remember that time we were sippin′ on wine
I could see it in your eyes, you were feeling alive
Why tell you I was good, why the fuck would I lie
I remember that time we were sippin' on wine
I could see it in your eyes, you were feeling alive
Why tell you I was good, why the fuck would I lie
The lyrics of the song "Look At Me" by Nextro depict a memory of a time when he and the person he is addressing were sipping wine together. The persona of the song reminisces about how he could see that the person he was with was feeling alive, which could insinuate that the two were perhaps in a romantic setting. The persona questions why he would lie about his feelings to this person since he remembers feeling good at that moment. The repetition of the lyrics emphasizes the persona of the song's desire to hold onto the memory and bring it to the forefront.
The song carries a prevalent theme of drugs and indulgence. The line "All this cash on me make 'em wanna go down" suggests that the persona of the song has a great amount of money with him and wishes to show it off, possibly to impress the person with him. The persona of the song states that he "can show you up" and insinuates that he has drugs with him as well. There is a sense of recklessness and living for the moment that comes through in the lyrics, with lines like "Sippin' all day baby what you waiting for?" and "I′ve been going hard, I′ve been working OT."
Overall, the message of the song is one of nostalgia for a memory when things were simpler and carefree. The reckless indulgences of drugs and alcohol are described as a vessel to create memories and feel alive in the moment.
