Narcissist
No Rome Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

(You got me like)
(You got me like)

Took a picture of all my flaws
Or you can take a video on your phone
And you know that I would talk
But I'm too afraid to pick you up and go home
I'm feeling Dazed like a magazine
Finding my own sanity
Wishing it'll all go away
Now we're smoking off the balcony
You're telling me profanities
Maybe it was never okay

345, that's where we stayed
She told me I'm a narcissist doing it again
Took a bunch of acid and she told me, "not again"
Now I've gotta tell her that I'm lovin' her friends
345, that's where we stayed
She told me I'm a narcissist doing it again
Took a bunch of acid and she told me, "not again"
Now I've gotta tell her that I'm lovin' her friends

(You got me like)
(You got me like)
(You got me like)

And I've been seeing somebody
But I've not found a way to tell you
That I'm seeing somebody
There's not a nice way for me to say that
I've been seeing somebody
You know I want you to be happy
Since I'm seeing somebody
And then maybe we can get on with it

(You got me like)

Stay out late, I just wanna get stoned
Telling all your friends that I'm never at home
And my face filling up with blood
But you're still saying they don't like your bourgeois
Coughing up the promethazine
Living like an evergreen
Sorry for the things that I've done
Now Selena won't be friends with me
I was kissing Emily
I love you, it was never your fault
(Got me like)

345, that's where we stayed
She told me I'm a narcissist doing it again
Took a bunch of acid and she told me, "not again"
Now I've gotta tell her that I'm lovin' her friends

And I've been seeing somebody
But I've not found a way to tell you
That I'm seeing somebody
There's not a nice way for me to say that
I've been seeing somebody
You know I want you to be happy
Since I'm seeing somebody
And then maybe we can get on with it

(Got me like)
(Got me like)
Seeing somebody

345, that's where we stayed
She told me I'm a narcissist doing it again




Took a bunch of acid and she told me, "not again"
Now I've gotta tell her that I'm lovin' her friends

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to No Rome's "Narcissist" appear to describe the complicated emotions involved in a love triangle. The singer expresses feelings of insecurity and fear, as well as a desire for honesty and openness, but also admits to being unfaithful and emotionally manipulative. The song opens with the lines "You got me like / You got me like," indicating that the singer is deeply affected by the person they are addressing.


The second verse reveals that the singer is seeing somebody else but is unable to break the news to the person they are addressing in a gentle way, suggesting that they may still have feelings for them. The third verse takes a darker turn, with references to drug use and spinning out of control, alluding to the destructive nature of the relationship. The repeated refrain of "345, that's where we stayed / She told me I'm a narcissist doing it again" highlights the cyclical and unsustainable nature of the relationship, as well as the singer's own self-awareness of their destructive behavior.


Overall, "Narcissist" is a raw and honest portrayal of a complicated relationship that is simultaneously exhilarating and destructive. The lyrics poignantly express the emotional turmoil involved in being unable to let go of someone, even when it may be the healthier choice.
