Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Who-ho-ooh!
Picking you up just to put you down again
What the hell is an "it-girl" anyway?
How do i get it, lose it, have it, want it?
I think i'm done with this part
I quit, i quit
Patti smith would never put up this shit
Patti smith would never put up with this shit
Now i got you
Staring back at me from the cover of a magazine
And i'm not getting roped in
Thoughts that aren't mine keep running through
My head, my head, my head
Thunder thighs keep reaching for the measuring tape
I should be dropping you like you're hot
But you're the habit i can't shake
Patti smith would never put up with this shit
Patti smith would never put up with this shit
Patti smith would never put up with this shit
Now i got you
Staring back at me from the cover of a magazine
And i'm not getting roped in
Now i got you
Staring back at me from the cover of a magazine
And i'm not getting roped in
Woo hoo ooh, woo hoo ooh
Now i got you
Staring back at me from the cover of a magazine
Now i got you
Staring back at me from the cover of a magazine
Now i got you
Staring back at me from the cover of a magazine
And i'm not getting roped in
Woo hoo ooh, woo hoo ooh, woo hoo ooh
Now i got you (woo hoo ooh)
Staring back at me from the cover of a magazine
And i'm not getting roped in!
The song "Magazine" by Sløtface criticizes the beauty standards that magazines perpetuate and the pressure it puts on people to fit into those standards. The song begins with the singer questioning the idea of an "it-girl" and how to obtain or lose the status, showing the arbitrariness of such a title. The singer then expresses frustration with the unrealistic expectations placed on the body and mind of people, demonstrated by the line "Thunder thighs keep reaching for the measuring tape," and a desire to break free from it, expressed in the repetition of "I quit" and "Patti Smith would never put up with this shit."
The chorus involves the idea of being "roped in" by the media and beauty standards, represented by the person staring back at the singer from the cover of a magazine. The repetition of this line emphasizes the constant pressure that the media and beauty industry exerts on people. The song ends with the reaffirmation that the singer is not going to succumb to these pressures and will not be "roped in."

@TheDrewjameson
I love how Haley's make up routine seems...kinda normal? Until all of a sudden it's not at all normal, and then the whole thing of what we start to accept at "normal" seems insane.
