This introspective track delves into the self-awareness of personal flaws and the struggle to change. The lyrics reflect on the protagonist's acknowledgment of being their own worst enemy, causing turmoil in relationships and life. The term "anti-hero" suggests a flawed character who, despite their shortcomings, is still the center of attention or sympathy. This could be a metaphor for the artist's own experiences in the public eye - loved by fans but also scrutinized for every mistake. The song explores themes of self-criticism, regret, and fear of causing pain to others due to one's issues. It's a poignant reminder that everyone has their battles, even those who seem successful and adored from afar.
Anti-Hero
Lyrics
(I'm the problem, it's me)
I have this thing where I get older, but just never wiser
Midnights become my afternoons
When my depression works the graveyard shift, all of the people
I've ghosted stand there in the room
I should not be left to my own devices
They come with prices and vices
I end up in crisis
(Tale as old as time)
I wake up screaming from dreaming
One day, I'll watch as you're leaving
'Cause you got tired of my scheming
(For the last time)
It's me, hi
I'm the problem, it's me
At teatime, everybody agrees
I'll stare directly at the sun, but never in the mirror
It must be exhausting always rooting for the anti-hero
Always rooting for the anti-hero
Sometimes, I feel like everybody is an art bro lately
And I just judge them on a hill
Too hurt to hang out, talking shit about your famous baby
Pierced through the heart of 90's guilt
Maybe, I'm the problem, it's me
Did you hear my covert narcissism I disguise as altruism
Like some kind of congressman?
(Taylor, you'll be fine)
I wake up screaming from dreaming
One day, I'll watch as you're leaving
And life will lose all its meaning
(For the last time)
It's me (me), hi (hi)
I'm the problem, it's me (I'm the problem, it's me)
At teatime (teatime), everybody agrees
I'll stare directly at the sun, but never in the mirror
It must be exhausting always rooting for the anti-hero
Always rooting for the anti-hero
I have this dream my daughter-in-law kills me for the money
She thinks I left them in the will
The family gathers 'round and reads it and then someone screams out
"She's laughing up at us from Hell"
I'm the problem, it's me
(Taylor)
I'm the problem, it's me
It's me, hi (hi)
I'm the problem, it's me (I'm the problem, it's me)
At teatime (teatime), everybody agrees (everybody agrees)
I'll stare directly at the sun, but never in the mirror
It must be exhausting always rooting for the anti-hero
Always rooting for the anti-hero
Always rooting for the anti-hero
Always rooting for the anti-hero
Always rooting for the anti-hero
Always rooting for the anti-hero
Always rooting for the anti-hero
Always rooting for the anti-hero
