Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm so sick of me, wake up and hate to breathe
And I pride myself in that, so dramatic, I'll admit
I'm so typical, my life ain't difficult
But I'm so caught up in it, just a lowlife, I'll admit
I'm self-critical, tryhard original
Oh, I pride myself on that, such a loser, I'll admit
And I ask myself
When my time will come
Will I run away?
Will I run away?
I'm the original loser
Some days I wish I was anyone else
I'm the original loser
Some days I wish I was anyone else
I'm so paranoid, most people I avoid
Not seeking sympathy (nah), I just want all of this
Under an umbrella (yeah)
I try to shelter myself from the rain
I try to stop my head from going insane
I'm counting down, all the days
I swear that there's a price they took
Being alone outside then
Can I suffocate you when they cannot fucking chase me, ayy
Anagram all of the letters
Tellin' me that I'm gonna be fine
Cleaning the world is out of my mind
Piece 'em together and dump on the sides
I'ma be alone tonight
If I try to stay alive
And realize I'm going blind
(Congratulations) I'm the original loser
Some days I wish I was anyone else
(Congratulations) I'm the original loser
Some days I wish I was anyone else
Don't let 'em change your mind
Don't let 'em change your mind (ooh)
And don't let 'em waste your time
Don't let 'em waste your time (someone save me)
Don't let 'em change your mind
Don't let 'em change your mind (loser)
Don't let 'em waste your time
Don't let 'em waste your time
Yeah, don't let 'em waste your time
I'm the original loser
(Congratulations)
Some days I wish I was anyone else
The song "Original Me" by Yungblud is a powerful and honest exploration of self-doubt and insecurity. The lyrics express the artist's frustration with himself, his own neuroses, and his feelings of inadequacy. He describes feeling sick of himself, waking up and hating to breathe, and being caught up in his own drama. Despite his awareness of these traits, he is also self-critical and tries too hard to be original - often feeling like a lowlife and a loser.
The chorus expresses a desire to be someone else, anyone else, as he feels like the "original loser". The artist is so paranoid that he avoids most people and tries to shelter himself from the rain - both literally and metaphorically. He feels like he is going insane and is counting down the days until he can escape the world's judgment. However, in the midst of this darkness, he implores listeners to not let others change their minds or waste their time - encouraging himself and others to stay true to themselves.
Overall, the song is a poignant reflection on the human experience of insecurity and self-doubt. Yungblud's vulnerable lyrics and emotive delivery make the song an anthem for anyone struggling with feelings of inadequacy.
