Tout Pour Moi
OKASH Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I have this thing where I get older, but just never wiser
Midnights become my afternoons
When my depression works the graveyard shift
All of the people I′ve ghosted stand there in the room

I should not be left to my own devices
They come with prices and vices
I end up in crises
Tale as old as time
I wake up screaming from dreaming
One day I'll watch as you′re leaving
'Cause you got tired of my scheming
For the last time

It's me
Hi!
I′m the problem, it′s me
At teatime
Everybody agrees
I'll stare directly at the sun, but never in the mirror
It must be exhausting always rooting for the anti-hero

Sometimes I feel like everybody is a sexy baby
And I′m a monster on the hill
Too big to hang out
Slowly lurching toward your favorite city
Pierced through the heart but never killed

Did you hear my covert narcissism
I disguise as altruism?
Like some kind of congressman
Tale as old as time
I wake up screaming from dreaming
One day, I'll watch as you′re leaving
And life will lose all its meaning
For the last time

It's me
Hi!
I′m the problem, it's me (I'm the problem, it′s me)
At teatime
Everybody agrees
I′ll stare directly at the sun, but never in the mirror
It must be exhausting always rooting for the anti-hero

I have this dream my daughter-in-law kills me for the money
She thinks I left them in the will
The family gathers 'round and reads it
And then someone screams out
"She′s laughing up at us from hell!"

It's me
Hi!
I′m the problem, it's me
It′s me
Hi!
I'm the problem, it's me

It′s me
Hi!
Everybody agrees
Everybody agrees

It′s me
Hi! (Hi!)
I'm the problem, it′s me (I'm the problem, it′s me)
At teatime
Everybody agrees (everybody agrees)




I'll stare directly at the sun, but never in the mirror
It must be exhausting always rooting for the anti-hero

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of OKASH's Tout pour moi describe a person who is struggling with their own internal demons and acknowledging that they are the problem in their life. The opening lines, "I have this thing where I get older, but just never wiser" and "Midnights become my afternoons," suggest that the person is experiencing depression and struggling to cope with the passage of time. The line "All of the people I've ghosted stand there in the room" suggests that the person is also dealing with feelings of guilt and regret about how they've treated others.


The chorus, "It's me, I'm the problem, it's me," emphasizes that the person recognizes that they are at the root of their own struggles. They also acknowledge their covert narcissism, which suggests that they may have a tendency to put themselves before others and that their actions may be fueled by a need for validation or recognition.


The reference to the dream where the person's daughter-in-law kills them for money adds a layer of complexity to the lyrics. It could be seen as a manifestation of the person's guilt or feeling that their actions may harm or hurt others around them. Overall, the lyrics of Tout pour moi point to a person who recognizes their faults but is struggling to change their behavior and instead feels stuck in a cycle of negativity.
