Better Than You
Razorback Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Who knows what fruits or what worms I might find?
Bring out your darkness, I'm sick of your sunshine
Tell me you're helpless. Say you're not all that fine
You say heaven you can taste
All I can see in your face is your hate
You stare at my face and say "oh what a waste…"
Maybe you should try and stare at my soul
That just might help you fill out your own hollow hole
Whoever told you you're higher than me?
You're all chained down up there,
Though I'm crownless, I'm free.
Being all haunted by all that's unreal
Never wastin' a moment to see what I feel.
…you tell me you'll always be true
All I can think of's what's comin' to you
What makes me better than you?
Who knows who? I know you, too.
In the song "Better Than You" by Razorback, the lyrics seem to revolve around the idea of one person being superior to the other. However, as the lyrics progress, it becomes clear that the person speaking is actually questioning the other person's motives and intentions. When they say "show me your insides, show me your mind," they're asking the other person to reveal themselves completely, but they're also being cautious, as they're not sure what they'll find. They're asking the other person to show their dark side, as they're tired of their constant positivity.
The chorus, "What makes me better than you?" is not necessarily a statement of superiority, but more of a question. The person singing is asking the other person what truly separates the two of them. They mention that the other person claims to be true, but the singer is skeptical of their sincerity. In the end, the lyrics seem to be about being true to oneself and not pretending to be someone they're not. The person singing is questioning the other's authenticity, suggesting that they may not be as pure as they claim to be.

Show me your insides, show me your mind
Reveal to me your true self and thoughts
Who knows what fruits or what worms I might find?
I may discover both good and bad qualities within you
Bring out your darkness, I'm sick of your sunshine
Show me your flaws and imperfections instead of pretending to be perfect
Tell me you're helpless. Say you're not all that fine
Admit your weaknesses and struggles rather than putting up a facade of strength and happiness
You say heaven you can taste
You claim to have experienced true happiness and contentment
All I can see in your face is your hate
However, all I can perceive from your expression is negativity and anger
You stare at my face and say "oh what a waste…"
You judge me based on my appearance and dismiss me as worthless
"he's just living his days in such poor, bitter taste."
You believe that I lead a miserable and unfulfilled life
Maybe you should try and stare at my soul
Perhaps you should look beyond my physical appearance and try to understand me on a deeper level
That just might help you fill out your own hollow hole
This may assist you in filling the emptiness within yourself
Whoever told you you're higher than me?
Who made you believe that you are superior to me?
You're all chained down up there,
Despite your supposed superiority, you are actually held back
Though I'm crownless, I'm free.
Although I lack power or status, I have the freedom to be myself
Being all haunted by all that's unreal
You are haunted by false beliefs and illusions
Never wastin' a moment to see what I feel.
I constantly strive to understand my emotions and thoughts
you tell me you'll always be true
You promise that you will remain loyal and honest to me
All I can think of's what's comin' to you
However, I cannot help but anticipate what consequences will befall you
What makes me better than you?
I question what attributes I possess that make me superior to you
Who knows who? I know you, too.
Whether or not I am better than you is uncertain, but I do know you just as well as you know me
