I'm Always Right
Raghav Meattle Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I want you to know what's bad so you can tow the line
You're a boy and I'm your father and I’m always right
I want you to clean your room and get to bed in time
I want you to stay away from women until the time is right
You're a boy and I'm your mother and I’m always right
You’ve made into the rat race
You’ve lost face, your life is shit
You call yourself the best
You nod your head and say yes
You’ve made it to the rat race
You shake your head, your life is shit
You try and be the best
But I won’t hold you back today
I won’t hold you back
But I won’t hold you back today
I won’t hold you back
I want you to learn these chords and play them every night
I want you to learn these songs and copy every line
You're a noob and I'm the teacher, and I’m always right
I want you to vote for me, and all my sons in good time
I want you to pay your dues, what's yours will now be mine
I'm your god and I've the power, I will make things right
You nod your head and say yes
You’ve made into the rat race
You’ve lost face, your life is shit
You call yourself the best
You nod your head and say yes
You’ve made it to the rat race
You shake your head, your life is shit
You try and be the best
But I won’t hold you back today
I won’t hold you back
But I won’t hold you back today
I won’t hold you back
The lyrics of Raghav Meattle's song "I'm Always Right" reflect themes of authority, control, and societal pressures. In the first verse, the singer asserts their superiority and desire for the listener to obey their judgments. The references to being a father or mother figure to the listener highlight a power dynamic where the singer believes they know what is best for the listener. They want the listener to conform to their standards of what is good or bad, right or wrong.
The second verse delves into societal expectations and the pressures of conforming to a predetermined path. The singer imposes rules and restrictions on the listener, such as cleaning their room and abstaining from romantic relationships until deemed appropriate. These expectations are presented as unquestionable truths, with the singer portraying themselves as the ultimate authority figure.
The chorus provides a contrasting perspective. The repeated line "You nod your head and say yes" speaks to the listener's compliance with societal norms and the pressures to conform. However, the subsequent lines express a sense of disillusionment and dissatisfaction with this lifestyle. The rat race, losing face, and feeling as though life is mediocre convey a sense of trapped and unfulfilled existence.
The final verse extends the theme of control and dominance. The singer assumes the role of a teacher, demanding the listener learn and copy from them. The references to voting and paying dues suggest a political or social context where the singer expects loyalty and support. They position themselves as a god-like figure with the power to make things right.
The chorus repeats, emphasizing the conflicted nature of the listener. They strive to be the best and find success within the rat race, yet they also experience a sense of dissatisfaction and disillusionment. The closing lines, "But I won't hold you back today, I won't hold you back," can be interpreted as the singer relinquishing their hold over the listener. It suggests that the listener has the agency to break free from societal pressures and make their own choices, even if it means going against the expectations imposed upon them.
