Problem Child
Vesta Lugg Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All they did was waste their time
Try to make me fit in like
Rip, tug and mold
Why would I wanna ever be sold
When I am gold
People try to bring you down
I will be so ever proud
Of my own shine
Why would I want to stand in your line
When I've got mine
Oh, Oh
When you get to close
I am like a rose
Blood is drawn
I'll make you feel exposed
I have more thorns that peatles
They're part of me
You can't take them away from me
That's why they're part of beauty
I have more thorns than peatles baby
That's why you don't believe
Ever believe in me
I'm free there is nothing you can do
I'm me that's for me to choose
So you you say I'm a problem child
Well baby don't you see
That you're the one with the problem honey it's not me
Try to hurt me with your words
All you did was make me strong
Funny is that you weren't wrong
I am a rebel
But the difference is that I
I have a cause
Oh, Oh
When you get to close
I am like a rose
Blood is drawn
I'll make you feel exposed
For all my gypsy souls and my free spirits out there
For all my problem children and rebels without a cause
I guess we finally found it guys
Finally found our cause
And it's always to prove them wrong
End
The lyrics of Vesta Lugg's song "Problem Child" describe the experience of someone who refuses to conform to societal or cultural norms. Throughout the song, the singer is telling us that they have always been themselves, and that conforming to the expectations of others would have only served to cheapen their individuality. In the first verse, they explain that they were never "lost" in the sense that they needed someone to tell them who they were; rather, the people around them were "wasting their time" trying to fit them into molds that they didn't belong in. The chorus repeats the message that conformity is pointless, and that people who try to bring you down are simply trying to make you fit in because they can't handle your uniqueness. The second verse addresses how societal pressure can actually be hurtful, but that the singer has used the negativity to their advantage by becoming a rebel with a cause. The final section is a rallying cry for all those people who feel similarly, encouraging them to continue in their individuality and rebelliousness.
Overall, the message of "Problem Child" is one of self-determination and individuality. The singer is saying that it's important to always be true to yourself, even if others don't understand or accept you. They highlight the fact that those who try to force you into a particular mold are only doing so because they can't handle your free spirit. In a world that often seems obsessed with conformity, the song serves as an important reminder that being yourself is the most important thing you can do.

I wasn't lost for them to find

All they did was waste their time
Their attempts to fit me in their mold were futile
Try to make me fit in like Rip, tug and mold
They tried to shape me according to their standards by force
Why would I wanna ever be sold When I am gold
Since I am valuable in my own way, why would I want to compromise on that?
People try to bring you down So you fit within the crowd
People try to bring you down and change you to fit in society's expectations

Además que Vesta es de las chicas más bellas del mundo, su música es muy sofisticada y original. Me encanta y ojala siga desarrollando ese estilo, aun cuando pueda ser poco comprendido en este país. Bien por ella y éxito.

Me gusta! Lo compartí en Francia con amigos de la Universidad y a todos les gustó.
Sigue así Vesta! Chile necesita más gente con este estilo. La producción del video está bien, la canción igual y tu carisma nada que decir.
