Righteous Jams Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Because I know mine are better
Don't talk to me about growing up
When you don't even know the first letter
Don't brag to me about your fake fun
Don't tell me that you think for yourself
Don't tell me who's better off
In these lyrics from Righteous Jams's song "No Glory," the singer is rejecting the concepts of cheap thrills, growing up, fake fun, and false superiority as presented by someone else. The singer seems to be implying that they have a more authentic and meaningful way of experiencing the world. When the other person attempts to compare their lifestyle or opinions to the singer's, the singer dismisses them, suggesting that they don't even know where to begin in understanding what truly matters.
The phrase "cheap thrills" likely refers to shallow or fleeting pleasures that lack substance or real value. The singer is rejecting these in favor of something deeper and more significant. Similarly, when the other person talks about growing up, the singer rebukes them for thinking they know anything about it, possibly because the singer believes that true maturity involves something more than simply conforming to societal expectations.
When the other person tries to assert their superiority over the singer, the singer challenges them. They don't want to hear about anyone else's "fake fun" or fake sense of individuality. The singer seems to be saying that they are content to find their own path in life, without constantly seeking the approval or validation of others.
Overall, "No Glory" is a song about rejecting conventional expectations and ideals, and embracing a more genuine and meaningful way of living.
