Better Off
loupe Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Were you gonna tell me You never needed me Nobody, really
When
Were you gonna treat me
Like I don't deserve to be
Loved, not to leave
You
Kissed me on the lips because you're scared I'm gonna Ask you where you're going to
Follow you around?
Don't you agree we're both better off now?
When
Were you gonna help me To get the hell out of here And cut off the leash
When
Were you gonna find me Hanging outlined
Still bathing in time
How I need you... I need you...
I...
Kissed you on the lips because I'm scared you're gonna Ask me where I'm going to
Guess I think I wanna
Follow you around
Don't you agree we're both better off now?
Kissed me on the lips because you're scared I'm gonna Ask you where you're going to
Did you think I wanna
Follow you around?
Don't you agree we're both better off now?
You...
I...
I need you... I...
The lyrics to Loupe's song "Better Off" depict a relationship where one person realizes they are not needed or valued by their partner. The singer questions why their partner never told the truth about not needing them and why they were never treated with the love and respect they deserve. The mention of being kissed on the lips suggests a moment of vulnerability and fear, as if the partner is worried about being questioned or followed. However, the singer comes to the realization that they are both better off without each other.
The first paragraph expresses the singer's disappointment in not being needed or valued. They wonder why their partner never communicated this truth earlier and why they were not treated with the love and care they deserve. The second paragraph focuses on the singer's desire to escape the situation and be free from the constraints of the relationship. They imagine themselves hanging outlined, symbolizing the weight and burden they feel. They express their need for their partner but also understand that they are better off without them.
