Look At Me
Sum 41 (www.dragonz-prs.com) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And what do I believe, can you tell me?
Since you've made up your mind
Who knows what you believe
And I just don't know
No, I just don't know
Who I'm supposed to be
Look at me
Am I the image of your hopes and tragedies?
Just look at me
Will I ever be more than just a memory
'Cause you just don't know
No, you just don't know
All I am is me
All I am is me
All I am is me
In "Look at Me," Sum 41 is questioning their identity and struggling to find their place in a world where others have already judged them. The song poses the question of who they are supposed to be and what they are supposed to believe, asking if anyone can really know these things for sure. The lyrics speak to the frustration of trying to live up to others' expectations or fit into a certain mold, while also acknowledging the importance of being true to oneself.
Throughout the song, there is a sense of longing to be seen for who the artist truly is, rather than just an image of someone else's ideas or desires. The repeated line "All I am is me" reinforces this message of self-acceptance and self-expression. The lyrics suggest that the band is tired of feeling like they have to conform to societal standards or expectations, and they want to break free from these constraints to be who they really are.

I've had this song on my Ipod for how long? A few months? And I've never knew how amazing it was because, whenever I would play it it was mute. Why did it have to keep me from such an awesome experience?!

The worst part about the song is: It's more or less hidden from you because of the stupid 2 minute long silence.
Big Stanko
Before the digital days hidden tracks were a feature. A track hidden at the end of the record after some silence for people to stumble upon when listening to the whole album. Now in the age of streaming most people just listen to the singles, and if there is a two minute silence they just hit skip after 30 seconds.
