Overrated
Suzi Rawn Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You gotta have it then you never miss it at all
You need a thrill, it's just killing you
You're so close, well don't take it too far
It's overrated, I've watched it fade
So please don't give in
Don't forget what you believe in
It's overrated, it's not worth chasing
Don't you know that
You'll love to love it and then you'll hate it
Love and lust and everything in between
It's perfect, it's poison until you fall
You want it bad, you want it to slip away
It's too fast, it's gonna drag you down
Where there's smoke, you'll find a mirror
It's overrated, I've watched it fade
So please don't give in
Don't forget what you believe in
It's overrated, it's not worth chasing
Don't you know that
You'll love to love it and then you'll hate it
Coming close not any clearer
With every breath you're going deeper
But I will pull you back to me
It's overrated, I've watched it fade
So please don't give in
Don't forget what you believe in
It's overrated, it's not worth chasing
Don't you know that
You'll love to love it and then you'll hate it
You'll love to love it and then you'll hate it
In Suzi Rawn's song "Overrated", she addresses the idea of societal pressure to attain things that are supposedly "cool" or desirable, even if they are ultimately unsatisfying or harmful. The first verse describes how people can be convinced to want something simply because it is being advertised to them, but once they have it, they realize it doesn't bring them any real satisfaction. The second verse touches on the destructive nature of pursuing pleasure and excitement, likening it to poison that ultimately brings people down.
The chorus warns against giving in to these pressures and losing sight of what one truly believes in. The phrase "Where there's smoke, you'll find a mirror" suggests that the illusions society constructs are simply reflections of ourselves - and that we should be wary of chasing after them blindly. The final verse offers a more hopeful perspective, with the singer promising to "pull you back" from the harmful attachments and illusions that society promotes.
Overall, Suzi Rawn's message is one of empowerment, encouraging listeners to think critically about what they truly want and believe in, rather than being swayed by external pressures.
