Kim K
Swimm Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I wake up early and stumble down the stairs
Find the mirror and take off all my clothes
I am more beautiful now than I ever was before
I think its time that everyone else knows
You celebrate me
Take the photos you want
Yeah you'll hate me
Say I'm the reason for it all
Hey now I got you where I want you
Hell no I'm not sorry, baby
And now they whisper his name in your high school halls
But he celebrates me and what he sees in me
Yeah that video-tape was never meant to be seen
Hey now I got you where I want you
Hell now I'm not sorry, baby




I hope you're right
I hope you're right

Overall Meaning

The song "Kim K" by SWIMM appears to be a commentary on society's obsession with celebrity culture and the idea of self-worth being tied to physical appearance. The lyrics suggest that the singer is waking up to face the day with a newfound confidence, feeling more beautiful than ever before. They seem to revel in the attention they receive from others, both positive and negative, and take pride in the fact that they are the subject of gossip and rumors.


The chorus of the song is particularly powerful, with the repetition of "Hey now I got you where I want you, Hell no I'm not sorry, baby" suggesting a sense of manipulation and control. The singer appears to be playing a game with those around them, perhaps even feeding into their own desire for attention and validation. The final line, "I hope you're right," adds a note of uncertainty to the song, hinting that despite the singer's confident exterior, they may still be grappling with their own self-doubt.


One interesting aspect of the song is that the title, "Kim K," is likely a nod to Kim Kardashian, who has become a symbol of both celebrity culture and the idea of physical perfection. The song could be interpreted as a critique of the way in which society has placed so much value on external appearances, rather than inner qualities like personality or talent. Additionally, the lyrics suggest a certain level of discomfort with the attention the singer is receiving, even as they seem to crave it. This could be read as an indictment of the toxicity of fame and the way in which it can warp one's sense of self.
