Rigby Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The person I think I am isn't what I wanted
For you and for your sake I can't just be so honest
I decide which person to be before you call it
Harder than I thought
I take up space a lot
I thought that I was sick
I contemplate a break
But pass out on the run
I'm starving myself thin
And sucking on my thumb
Is it wrong to fall in love while waiting to die
I just want to live long enough for your eyes
Well I can't do it
I knew I couldn't
Little lies to fake it
Every night, escape it
I was never permanent until today
You will love mе even if you lose my facе
I never believed in saving myself first
When I was a kid I never understood
Cause I can't do it
I knew I couldn't
You're all I wanted
I saw it coming
Is it wrong to fall in love while waiting to die
(Harder than I thought)
(I take up space a lot)
I just want to live long enough for your eyes
I contemplate a break but pass out on the run
(Harder than I thought)
(I take up space a lot)
(I contemplate a break but pass out on the run)
The lyrics to Rigby's song In Limbo suggest a struggle with identity and self-image, as the singer admits to not knowing what they look like and not being the person they want to be.

The contemplation of a break and starving themselves thin hint at possible issues with mental health. The lyrics also reveal a romantic inclination towards someone, with the desire to live long enough for their eyes.
The line "I was never permanent until today" suggests a newfound sense of permanence, possibly due to the love interest. The singer acknowledges that they may not always look the same, but the love interest will love them regardless. The line "I never believed in saving myself first" could be interpreted as selflessness, putting the needs of others above their own.
Overall, the lyrics suggest a complex struggle with self-identity, mental health, and romantic love. The themes of self-acceptance and the acceptance of others are prevalent throughout.
