Clairo - favoritism lyrics

favoritism by clairo
all creds to clairo
lyrics:
i was in love for the second time
she told me not to lie
you said “honey I can sense that you’re struggling to find out what happened to you”
im touring alone, with nothing to lose
cried myself to sleep that night
i havent wrapped my head around it
maybe I should think about
your hands on my sides
my shirt lost to wine
when I turned around and said “I can’t believe you like me-”
when I turned around and said “I can’t believe you like me better than the rest” x2
turns out kissing someone older doesn’t mean there’s gonna be a lesson attached
say I'm mature for my age, but there’s a bed to be made
why don’t you lie in it?
swear I’ll take this one to my grave,
and nothing’s gonna change,
a man is the same as a child, writing stories of when they become king and learn to take everything.
when I turned around and said “I can’t believe you like me better than the rest” x2
oh, better than the rest.

why are artist best songs always the unreleased ones

[@ecstasy3692]

cuz theres no pressure and when theres no pressure you make great art

[@raeiscoolertbh]

real

[@derricktiffin]

Because they don't realize it.

[@derricktiffin]

I've wondered that shit for sooooooo long

[@gommadre]

My current girlfriend was my rant buddy, she feels like this song. She was not my first but second love, she's my greatest love. When she confessed to me, my mind clicked on this song, I never knew i was capable of being loved truly, all my hesitations was assured by her. It was the time that she confessed that i began to question myself but all of those soon faded away, she showed me how much i deserved it. I used to hate being vulnerable, i thought it made me weak. but vulnerability comes with passion and how careful she is with me. I can't believe she likes me better than the rest. Edit: We broke up, I miss her and everytime i listen to this song i just want to be in her arms, my safe space. There's no artist in me anymore, now that my muse is gone. Every poem i write yearns for her and so will i.

seriously?

No, it’s her talking to her therapist about how she was groomed.

[@zoierenee724]

Art is subjective so yea

[@taniamurisa2481]

Underrated

Do you think she’ll release it after tour is over

no, it’s a real personal song ab being groomed. She’ll probably never release this. I feel like it was a vent more than it was meant to be a song

what’s does clairo mean when she wrote this song and what does this song is talking about??

[@edithsdeathtrials4028]

Her talking abt being groomed

[@JasmineLovesJames]

she talks about how her therapist explained to her that she was getting groomed by an older man

[@user-qf2rj4fz6e]

@@JasmineLovesJames can u explain why it's called favoritism

[@JasmineLovesJames]

@@user-qf2rj4fz6e Explanation: She was surprised that this older man chose her out of everyone else. When you're young and an older guy is into you, it can come as a shock and you may feel special. This guy took a liking to Clario. Favoritism, meaning that this older guy favored her out of anyone else. It is a very common term/phrase in the grooming world. (This is my sense of the title as a psych major; hope this helps)

[@pikku4319]
