Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

IT DON'T LOOK GOOD
IT DON'T LOOK GOOD
IT DON'T LOOK GOOD
IT DON'T LOOK GOOD ON YOU

I WISH YOU WOULD
I WISH YOU WOULD
I WISH YOU WOULD

TAKE IT OUT ON ME
TAKE IT OUT ON ME

I'M TELLING YOU
ABOUT LIZA
I'M TELLING YOU
ABOUT LIZA
I'M TELLING YOU ABOUT LIZA
WHY DON'T YOU

FALLING IN LINE
YOU BLAME IT ON MY WAYS
YOU'RE FALLING IN LINE
YOU BLAME IT ON MY WAYS

CALL ME OUT
WHY DON'T YOU
CALL ME OUT

WHEN THE QUIET COMES
AND THEY DON'T KNOW YOUR NAME
IN THE HOUSES
WHERE THE MONEY'S MADE
WHERE ALL YOUR SECRETS DON'T MEAN A THING
WHEN THE STORM BEGINS TO WIN AGAIN
IT DON'T COST MUCH TO LOSE IT
IT DON'T COST MUCH TO LOSE IT ALL

TAKE IT OUT ON ME
TAKE IT OUT ON ME

I'M TELLING YOU ABOUT LIZA
I'M TELLING YOU ABOUT LIZA
I'M TELLING YOU ABOUT LIZA
WHY DON'T YOU

CALL ME OUT
CALL ME OUT
CALL ME OUT
CALL ME OUT

CALL ME OUT
CALL ME OUT

Overall Meaning

In zSela's song, "Liza," the artist addresses someone who appears to be struggling with a personal issue or problem. The chorus begins with the repeated phrase, "It don't look good, it don't look good, it don't look good, it don't look good on you." It's possible that the "it" in question refers to the problem itself, suggesting that the person's struggle is visible and affecting their well-being. The artist then offers support and says, "I wish you would take it out on me," indicating a desire to help this person find a release or outlet for their emotions.

The artist then shifts to talking about Liza, repeating the phrase "I'm telling you about Liza" several times. It's unclear who Liza is or what her significance is to the situation at hand, but it's possible that she represents something that has caused the person's struggle. The verses discuss the idea of "falling in line" and blaming one's own issues on someone else's ways, suggesting that the person may have previously been unwilling to confront their own problems and instead sought to externalize them.

In the second half of the song, the artist suggests that the person is facing a difficult situation in which their name is not known and their secrets don't mean anything. This could be interpreted as a metaphor for feeling lost and alone in a larger societal or systemic issue. The final repetition of "Call me out" seems to be a plea for the person to speak up about what they're dealing with or to ask for help.

Overall, the song is a message of support and encouragement for someone who is struggling with personal issues, with the artist offering herself as a sounding board and support system.
