Here Lyrics
(I guess right now you've got the last laugh)
I'm sorry if I seem uninterested
Oh I'm not listenin', oh I'm indifferent
Truly I ain't got no business here
But since my friends are here, I just came to kick it
But really I would rather be at home all by myself
Not in this room with people who don't even care about my well being
I don't dance, don't ask, I don't need a boyfriend
So you can, go back, please enjoy your party
I'll be here, somewhere in the corner
Under clouds of marijuana with this boy who's hollerin'
And I can hardly hear
Over this music I don't listen to
And I don't wanna get with you
So tell my friends that I'll be over here
Oh oh oh here, oh oh oh here
Oh oh oh I asked myself, what am I doin' here?
Oh oh oh here, oh oh oh here
And I can't wait 'til we can break up out of here
Excuse me if I seem a little unimpressed with this
An antisocial pessimist, but usually I don't mess with this
And I know you mean only the best and your
Intentions aren't to bother me, but honestly I'd rather be
Somewhere with my people, we can kick it and just listen to
Some music with a message, (like we usually do)
And we'll discuss our big dreams, how we plan, to take over the planet
So pardon my manners, I hope you'll understand that I'll be here (ooh)
Not there in the kitchen
With the girl who's always gossipin' about her friends
Oh tell them I'll be here
(Ooh) right next to the boy who's throwin' up
'Cause he can't take what's in his cup no more
Oh God why am I here?
Oh oh oh here, oh oh oh here
Oh oh oh I asked myself, what am I doin' here?
Oh oh oh here, oh oh oh here
And I can't wait 'til we can break up out of here
Hours later congregatin' next to the refrigerator
Some girl's talkin' 'bout a hater, she ain't got none
How did it ever come to this? I should've never come to this
So holla at me, I'll be in the car when you're done
I'm stand-offish, don't want what you're offerin'
And I'm done talkin', awfully sad it had to be that way
So tell my people when they're ready that I'm ready
And I'm standin' by the TV with my beanie low
Yo I'll be over here
Oh oh oh here, oh oh oh here
Oh oh oh I asked myself, what am I doin' here?
Oh oh oh here, oh oh oh here
And I can't wait 'til we can break up out of here (oh oh, oh oh)
Oh I'm not listenin', oh I'm indifferent
Truly I ain't got no business here
But since my friends are here, I just came to kick it
But really I would rather be at home all by myself
Not in this room with people who don't even care about my well being
I don't dance, don't ask, I don't need a boyfriend
So you can, go back, please enjoy your party

Under clouds of marijuana with this boy who's hollerin'
And I can hardly hear

Oh oh oh I asked myself, what am I doin' here?
Oh oh oh here, oh oh oh here

According to Alessia herself: “Here” is a song for all the antisocial, awkward, and miserable party-goers of the world. This one time I went to a party and while there, I realized how much I hated it, along with every other party I had ever gone to. We wrote about it the next day.
I think the song is about somone that although she was surronded by many people, but all hypocritical and gossip and not realy notice to her, and for what she said.. She lonly and wants that sombody will pay attention that she 'Here'.
@songs=life so what is the meaning of "And I know you mean only the best" ? I just can't get it! Does it mean the boy who talks to her only make friends with BEST? :)

This seems to be about being stuck in a limbo of one's own making. She is stuck at a party and, as some sort of display of loyalty, she stays, even though she despises everything going on around her. Apparently, her suitors are not viable paramours for her because she's so high and mighty. But in the end, she's the one sitting there all alone. I guess she got the last laugh.... indeed. At once, there is a conflict, but no real climax as she just sits, waiting for her friends, who are somewhere else, apparently detained or otherwise occupied. In the end, there doesn't appear to be any development for her or her situation. So, this song is essentially a long whine.
She got invited to a party, but she found out it wasn't what she thought it was when she arrived, so she went off somewhere to be by herself while her friends had their fun.
Anyone else getting existential vibes from lyrics? oh ok only me here I guess
