The Best Lyrics

I just wanna be the best
I just wanna be the best
I just wanna be the best

I'm hardly perfect, I'm barely good
Just shy of greatness, ah, ah
I'm heavy metal and hollow wood
Just shy of patience, ah, ah

Me, I wanna walk a little bit taller, oh
Me, I wanna feel a little bit stronger, oh
Me, I wanna think a little bit smarter
Said, I just wanna be the best

Me, I wanna walk a little bit taller, oh
Me, I wanna feel a little bit stronger, oh
Me, I wanna think a little bit smarter
Said, I just wanna be the best

I just wanna be the best
I just wanna be the best

Oh, doctor, doctor, I have no clue
A modern beauty, ah, ah
So fix my face up with dye and glue
And science fiction, ah, ah

Me, I wanna walk a little bit taller, oh
Me, I wanna feel a little bit stronger, oh
Me, I wanna think a little bit smarter
Said, I just wanna be the best

Me, I wanna walk a little bit taller, oh
Me, I wanna feel a little bit stronger, oh
Me, I wanna think a little bit smarter
Said, I just wanna be the best

I just wanna be the best
I just wanna be the best

Me, I wanna walk a little bit taller, oh
Me, I wanna feel a little bit stronger, oh
Me, I wanna think a little bit smarter
Said, I just wanna be the best

Me, I wanna walk a little bit taller, oh
Me, I wanna feel a little bit stronger, oh
Me, I wanna think a little bit smarter
Said I just wanna be the best

I just wanna be the best
I just wanna be the best
I just wanna be the best
I just wanna be the best

What is the Meaning of The Best?

eureka profile

Ever feel like you're always striving for something just out of reach? This song captures that relentless drive to improve and be better, even when perfection seems unattainable. The lyrics talk about wanting to walk taller, feel stronger, and think smarter—basically being the best version of oneself. 🎯 It’s about acknowledging your flaws but still pushing forward with determination. The mention of "heavy metal and hollow wood" suggests a mix of strength and vulnerability, while "science fiction" hints at the lengths one might go to achieve their ideal self. Overall, it's an anthem for anyone who's ever felt the pressure to be more than they are and continues to strive regardless.
