Loser of the Year
Simple Plan [www.freeck.co.cc] Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There's a lot of talk about me,
People lining up to meet me.
I'm on a verge of celebrity,
So what you think about that?

I've got friends in high places,
Louis Vuitton suitcases,
Look at all their pretty faces
So what you think about that?

So why do I feel like it's all just a show?

You make me wanna shut it all down,
Throw it all away,
Cause I'm nothing if I don't have you.

What's the point of being on top,
All the money in the world,
If I can't blow it all on on you.

So, send the cars back,
Put the house on the market,
And my big dreams too.

Because it's all so clear,
Now without you here,
I'm the loser of the year.

I'm at a party in a mansion
There's a lot of high fashion,
And I'm cooler than I've ever been
So what you think about that?

I'm livin' life in a fast lane
I've got fridge full of champagne,
And I'm hanging out with Lil' Wayne.
So what you think about that?

So why do I feel like it's all just a show?

You make me wanna shut it all down,
Throw it all away,
Cause I'm nothing if I don't have you.

What's the point of being on top,
All the money in the world,
If I can't blow it all on you.

So, send the cars back,
Put the house on the market,
And my big dreams too.

Because it's all so clear,
That without you here,
I'm the loser of the year.
I'm the loser of the year.

I can try real hard,
I can try to pretend,
That all these dreams make any sense
Without you.
But that just ain't true

I thought these things would make me forget
About you and me
But you're stuck in my head
I'm a loser,
If I lose her.

You make me wanna shut it all down,
Throw it all away,
Cause I'm nothing if I don't have you.

What's the point of being on top,
All the money in the world,
If I can't blow it all on you.

You make me wanna shut it all down,
Throw it all away,
'cause I'm nothing if I don't have you.

So, send the cars back,
Put the house on the market,
And my big dreams too.

Because it's all so clear,
That I need you near,
And it's all so clear,
Now without you here,
I'm the loser of the year.

Loser of the year.




I'm the loser of the year.
Loser of the year.

Overall Meaning

In the song "Loser of the Year," Simple Plan reflects on the idea of success and how it does not necessarily equate to happiness. The lyrics mention the singer's elevated status as a celebrity, surrounded by high-end fashion and influential people. However, despite the glamorous life the singer leads, they cannot help but feel that it is all just a façade, a mere show for the public eye. They express their desire to give it all up if it means they cannot have the person they love by their side. The chorus continually repeats "You make me wanna shut it all down, throw it all away, 'cause I'm nothing if I don't have you." The bridge delves deeper into the idea of how success cannot fill the emptiness that comes from losing someone dear. The singer describes how they have tried to move on and forget about their significant other but can't seem to shake the thoughts of them, ultimately realizing that they are the loser without them in their life.


The song highlights the importance of love and how it is ultimately what brings meaning to life despite any external recognition or validation. It speaks to the classic trade-off of success for love and how materialistic items cannot be a substitute for the fulfillment that comes from being with the ones we care about.

Years passed and I realize that Simple Plan is one of those few bands with unique sound to their songs. Like you cant really defy them by genre and find others that are alike to put there with. Its always great liking this band, and coming back to it. Thank you for existing, Simple Plan :)

@leahpateric5691

I would put it personally as energy rock. Rock that's intentionally made to make you feel charged, either through excitement, determination, relatability, etc. It heavily helps their songs can heavily contrast from each other. You Suck at Love and This Song Saved My Life sound so unbelievably opposite, and yet are made by the same band. It's beyond impressive

@scretchy00

It is just pop rock or punk rock. But I understand you both. This band saved my life years ago with their energetic and positive songs❤❤

@demolazer

I'm into all kinds of rock/metal and Simple Plan are one of my favourite bands. Such passion, energy and heartfelt lyrics.

@sammourad7263

@lexi8623

@ReVoLuTi0n09

I feel with you bro. No one should be called worthless, the girl or guy who did this to you does not deserve you. Because you are amazing, and you mean the world to someone.

@arnon124
