Beautiful Losers
Stuck in the Sound Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ed bangers mixing in a club,
but my friends are drinking in a pub.
I don't wanna miss the party,
just going and drinking for free

In the queue boys comparing that sneakers.
In the line a girl's powdering her nose.
She said, she said she saw me on TV.

I think she wanna go out with me

Proud and worried like pigeons in a bar
D J's time is out, new kids on the block!
Step step step step step step step
before you going too far

Baby models showing on their straws,

Baby rockers going from the west side,
God I've never seen so many
Mustaches!

Oh! I running to myself, in a mirror,
And all I saw, was dark rings.
Anyway, no regrets

In this world, It this worse?
In this world, I'm running from myself.
But don't be mad before I go,
don't be surprised, don't be surprised
Don't be mad before I go!

In this world, It this worth?
In this world, I'm running from myself.

In this world, don't be surprised,
If I running from myself

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Stuck in the Sound's song Beautiful Losers paint a picture of a night out on the town, where the singer is torn between two worlds: the cool, trendy nightclub where the DJ is playing Ed Bangers mixes, and the humble pub where their friends are drinking. The singer doesn't want to miss out on the party, but at the same time, they don't want to spend money on drinks when they can drink for free. They observe the people around them, including boys comparing sneakers and a girl powdering her nose, who seems to recognize the singer from TV. The scene is so overwhelming that they can't help but feel like a pigeon at a bar, proud and worried at the same time.

As the night progresses, the singer encounters hordes of baby models and rockers, all with impressive mustaches. They reflect on their own tired appearance in the mirror and wonder if any of it is worth it. They feel like they are running from themselves in this world, but they ask us not to be mad or surprised when they eventually go.

Overall, the lyrics capture the feeling of being lost in a sea of people and numerous distractions, questioning one's own identity and place in the world. The words reflect a sense of alienation and disconnection as the singer navigates the chaos of a night out.

Line by Line Meaning

Ed bangers mixing in a club,
High-energy electronic dance music is being played by a prominent DJ in a nightclub, but my friends have opted for a more low-key atmosphere by drinking in a pub. I don't want to miss out on the excitement of the party, so I'll just go and try to get free drinks.

In the queue boys comparing that sneakers.
As we stand in line, a group of boys are admiring each other's sneakers and discussing their respective value. Meanwhile, a girl in the same line is touching up her makeup and tells me she recognizes me from TV - indicating she may be interested in me romantically.

Proud and worried like pigeons in a bar
I feel both confident and apprehensive, like pigeons who strut around a bar trying to impress others while simultaneously being cautious of any danger. The DJ's set ends, and new, unknown artists take the stage - a reminder to stay grounded and not get too carried away.

Baby models showing on their straws
I am observing young models sipping drinks through straws, trying to keep up with the latest trends. Meanwhile, rebellious rockers from the western part of town have arrived, flaunting their rugged individualism and unique fashion sense. Everyone seems to be sporting mustaches as well, which is strikingly noticeable.

Oh! I running to myself, in a mirror,
I catch a glimpse of myself in the mirror, and I realize I am feeling overwhelmed and run-down. My eyes are dark and lackluster, indicating my weariness. Despite this, I try to give myself a pep talk and remind myself not to have any regrets.

In this world, It this worse?
I'm contemplating whether or not this world is as terrible as it seems. I am also struggling with my own personal demons and am attempting to distance myself from them. Despite this, I urge those around me not to be angry or shocked if I end up isolating myself even further.
