Valeree Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hey
I see you creeping on my stories
Even though it’s been like 4 years
Since we broke up (mmm)

Hey
Can’t help but think it’s kinda funny
All this time you still thinking of me

But you make me wanna throw up (gross)

Now I don’t give a fuck about you no more, no I don’t give a fuck about you no more
Yeah I think you suck (mmm)
I said I don’t give a fuck about you no more, don’t give a fuck about you no more
Yeah, go and get fucked

Cause I’m so much better off now that it’s over
It’s like I spent 3 years drunk but now I’m finally sober
And I've been so much happier lately
It’s like it was all a bad dream, now you’re just a faded memory

Hey
How’s it feel watching from the sidelines
While I make my dreams come true and get mine
Yeah, I bet it sucks

And by the way
I know you’re super fuckin' jealous
As you should be, you coulda had this
But you went and fucked it all up (mmm)

And now I don’t give a fuck about you no more, no I don’t give a fuck about you no more
Yeah I think you suck (mmm)
Said I don’t give a fuck about you no more, don’t give a fuck about you no more
Yeah go and get fucked

(No like seriously, go fuck yourself)

Cause I’m so much better off now that it’s over
It’s like I spent 3 years drunk but now I’m finally sober
And I’ve been so much happier lately
It’s like it was all a bad dream, now you’re just a faded memory

And I been treating me better than you ever did
And while you’ve been missing me, I’ve been getting better dick
I don’t even need it, I know that I’m the shit
Put your bullshit to a melody, that’s money in my pocket

Cause I’m so much better off now that it’s over
It’s like I spent 3 years drunk and now I’m finally sober
And I’ve been so much happier lately
It’s like it was all a bad dream, now you’re just a faded memory
It’s like it was all a bad dream, now you’re just a faded memory

(What was his name again?)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Valeree's song "Better Off" speak to the singer's newfound sense of liberation and empowerment after ending a toxic relationship. The song begins with a realization that the ex-partner has been keeping tabs on the singer through social media, despite the significant amount of time that has passed since their breakup. This observation is met with a sense of amusement and disgust, as the singer dismisses any remaining sentiment toward the ex.

The chorus emphasizes the singer's renewed state of happiness and clarity. They express feeling as if they had been in a drunken haze for three years while in the relationship, but now they are finally sober and able to fully enjoy life. The ex-lover is described as a faded memory, implying that their significance in the singer's life has diminished to the point of irrelevance.

The second verse further highlights the ex's envy and regret over what they lost. The singer suggests that the ex should be jealous because they had the opportunity to be with someone as amazing as the singer, but they ruined it with their actions. The lyrics also touch on the idea that the singer has moved on to someone better, both emotionally and sexually, indicating a sense of self-assuredness and confidence.

Overall, "Better Off" is a defiant anthem of personal growth and independence. It portrays the singer's ability to rise above the negativity of a past relationship, find happiness within themselves, and leave their ex behind as a mere memory.
