I Feel Pretty
Soundtrack Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Waiting for the world to end
Dizzy indecision
Veering off the open road
Anchors away
Lack of infrastructure
I'm dying inside
There's nowhere to hide
Where do I go
Get back in the cage
Just keep me away
I'm staggering
I can't wait to find you
I really hate that I'm alone
I can't wait to find you
I really hate that I'm alone
Easy to resemble
Hard to learn the workings of
This lonesome charade
I'm filled with hesitation
Staring down the tide
It pulls you apart
It stabs in the dark
It carries away
I'm starting to see
The problem with me
Is everything
I can't wait to find you
I really hate that I'm alone
I can't wait to find you
I really hate that I'm alone
I can't wait to find you
I really hate that I'm alone
I can't wait to find you
I really hate that I'm alone
I can feel you tonight
I can feel you
I can feel you tonight
I can feel you
I never know who I am
I only know what I'm not
It doesn't make any sense
It doesn't further the plot
I never learn how to love
I only learn how to fight
I only see in the dark
But never kept to the night
I got a flurry of words
But I got nothing to say
And why does everything
Always end this way
If I asked you to let me go
Would you hold on, would you hold on
I try hard to let go but the pull is too great
Consumed with the promise
Of one last chance
Are you holding on
'Cause I'm still holding on
I can't wait to find you
I really hate that I'm alone
I can't wait to find you
I really hate that I'm alone
I can't wait to find you
I really hate that I'm alone
I can't wait to find you
I really hate that I'm alone
I can feel you tonight
I can feel you
I can feel you tonight
I can feel you
I can feel you tonight
I can feel you
I can feel you tonight
I can feel you
The lyrics to Soundtrack's song "I Feel Pretty" convey a sense of frustration, confusion, and longing for connection. The opening lines express a feeling of wasted time and an anticipation of the world's end, suggesting a desire for something meaningful to happen. The mention of "dizzy indecision" and "veering off the open road" implies a lack of direction or purpose in life. The phrase "anchors away" may symbolize a desire to break free from the constraints that hold one back.
The lyrics continue with a plea for someone to listen, indicating a feeling of isolation and despair. The line "I'm dying inside, there's nowhere to hide, where do I go" expresses a deep sense of internal struggle and a search for a safe space or escape. The mention of being kept in a cage and staggering signifies a feeling of being trapped and unable to move forward.
The chorus reiterates the longing for connection and the dislike of being alone. The repetition of the line "I can't wait to find you, I really hate that I'm alone" emphasizes the desire for companionship and the pain felt in solitude. The subsequent lines about easy resemblance and the lonesome charade suggest a difficulty in understanding oneself and others, further contributing to the feelings of confusion and dissatisfaction.
The verses also reflect a struggle with self-identity and a sense of inadequacy. The lines "I never know who I am, I only know what I'm not" suggest a constant search for one's true identity and a focus on negation rather than positive self-discovery. The reference to learning how to fight rather than love implies a defensive approach to relationships and a lack of emotional connection. The mention of seeing only in the dark and the struggle to let go highlight a fear of vulnerability and a resistance to change.
Overall, the lyrics of "I Feel Pretty" depict a complex emotional state characterized by longing, frustration, and a yearning for connection and self-discovery.
Line by Line Meaning
All this time I've wasted
I've spent a lot of time doing nothing productive
Waiting for the world to end
Expecting a catastrophic event or change to happen
Dizzy indecision
Feeling confused and unsure about what to do
Veering off the open road
Straying from the straightforward path
Anchors away
Letting go of things that hold me back
Lack of infrastructure
Not having a solid foundation or structure
Someone hear me out
I need someone to listen to me
I'm dying inside
Feeling emotionally distressed and in pain
There's nowhere to hide
There is no escape or refuge
Where do I go
I don't know where to turn or what to do
Get back in the cage
Return to a confined and limited existence
Just keep me away
Please keep me at a distance
I'm staggering
I am unstable and struggling to maintain balance
I can't wait to find you
I look forward to discovering someone special
I really hate that I'm alone
I strongly dislike being by myself
Easy to resemble
Simple to imitate or appear similar to
Hard to learn the workings of
Difficult to understand and grasp the mechanisms of
This lonesome charade
This sad and deceitful act
I'm filled with hesitation
I am uncertain and hesitant
Staring down the tide
Facing and confronting a powerful force or change
It pulls you apart
It tears you into pieces
It stabs in the dark
It hurts unexpectedly and without warning
It carries away
It takes everything away
I'm starting to see
I am beginning to understand
The problem with me
The issue lies within myself
Is everything
Affects every aspect of my life
I can feel you tonight
I sense your presence this evening
I never know who I am
I am always uncertain of my identity
I only know what I'm not
I can only define myself by what I am not
It doesn't make any sense
It is illogical and confusing
It doesn't further the plot
It does not progress or develop the story
I never learn how to love
I have never understood how to truly love someone
I only learn how to fight
I only know how to engage in conflict
I only see in the dark
I can only perceive when there is darkness
But never kept to the night
But am always prevented from fully embracing the darkness
I got a flurry of words
I have a sudden outburst of words
But I got nothing to say
But ultimately, I have nothing meaningful to express
And why does everything
And why do all things
Always end this way
Consistently conclude in this manner
If I asked you to let me go
If I requested for you to release me
Would you hold on, would you hold on
Would you still hold onto me
I try hard to let go but the pull is too great
I make a considerable effort to release myself, but I am strongly drawn back
Consumed with the promise
Overwhelmed by the commitment
Of one last chance
Of having a final opportunity
Are you holding on
Are you still gripping onto something
'Cause I'm still holding on
Because I am still firmly grasping onto something
