vanity
S.A.F.G. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Feeling this way? yeah, I ain't seeing it
Feeling away, so I can breathe again
Feelings awake, but I am sleeping in
Feeling okay, the demons peering in
I'm not okay, I know I've given up
My bedside, no water in the cup
Look at the glass, I'm like "what the fuck?"
They always say, "just keep your spirits up!"
But I hate it, wish I was sedated
Wish I was numb to all the pain that I created
Wish I wasn't just a fucking mistake in the making
Wish that I could have some depth like my creation
But I can't
But I won't
But I can't
But I won't
But I can't
But I won't
Cause the way I'm gonna go out is bullet through my dome
Lost in my thoughts, can't escape the pain
Every day feels like I'm caught in the rain
My mind's a prison, my heart's a tomb
The demons they come in knocking with a (knock knock) "hello!"
Stuck in my thoughts, I can't break free
My mind's a fight, and it's tearing me
I'm losing hope, I'm losing faith
I'm tired of faking that I'm okay
Outside I know I got no privacy
Can't use the mask, no more hiding me
Could this just be my insanity?
There's blood dripping off of my vanity
Outside I know I got no privacy
Can't use the mask, no more hiding me




Could this just be my insanity?
There's blood dripping off of my vanity

Overall Meaning

In S.A.F.G.'s song "Vanity", the lyrics explore the theme of self-absorption and how it affects society as a whole. The song begins by reminiscing about the carefree days of youth, when life was easy and worry-free, but the tone quickly changes as the lyrics reflect on the vanity and consumerism that has since taken over. The phrase "vanity is our main devotion" is repeated throughout the song, emphasizing how our obsession with looking good and appearing successful has become the driving force of our lives.


The lyrics also point to the negative consequences of this focus on appearance and status. The line "the pain we bring through society" suggests that our self-centeredness is causing harm to others, and that a crisis may be imminent. The song ends on a note of uncertainty as the question is posed, "will we break free?" The artist seems to be urging the listener to consider their own priorities and question whether vanity is really worth sacrificing the greater good.

@Girtis Holland It was basically a car with a box on it...they used two cars to pull one car.

After thinking about it, that ratio doesn't scale, though...
• 2 cars to pull 1? EASY
• 4 cars to pull 2? MODERATE
• 100 cars to pull 50? Technically easy, logistically impossible

Going the other way?
• 1 car to pull half a car? EASY, but messy.
• Half a car to pull a quarter car? Very difficult...EVEN HARDER if both cars were split longitudinally.

I love that this guy was shown the clip of the Italian Job and went, "Wait...is that possible?" and actually tried cracking a submerged dial and shared his personal experience with the experiment. Obvious passion to his craft.

Greg DeAndrea

Points to the flick too for forcing the experiment!

Someone bath with rubber duck someone with vault dial :/

Having started my career the same time as Dave, and having known Dave for almost 4 decades now I can attest to this man's legitimacy. I own one of the largest safe and vault companies west of the Mississippi and talk with Dave at least once each month. Sometimes it's just personal, most of the time it's discussing real world safe and vault problems. Dave McOmie is the real thing. His business card should say: "have boroscope, will travel" ! Great job Dave, well done. Looking forward to seeing you in May.

Sell me some drilling templates. 😆

@jtj with this skills you can make a lot of money with opening safes. even banks lose keys and numbers, no joke... or big keys for safes. my father got 1000-1500€ and more for handmade keys for banksafes. he was teached by a guy going to pension, his sons had much bigger projects and were not interested in it. so my father used free time in his shop to copy maybe once in a month. same with safes... if you know how to drill them, or even to crack them like the pros, you can make a lot of legal money.
i worked in the locksmithing business for 7 years myself, but this was over my knowledge :)

I've known Dave for over a decade, for all the comments about how knowledgeable he is, or how engaging his conversation is, you can add that he himself is an incredible humble human being, he could be talking about how paint dries, and we'd be as immersed in that conversation as we were in this video, congrats neighbor!
