Ugly In The Morning Lyrics

You did one thing wrong
You woke up.
You look better before
More - more

And the stomach turns...
Say nothing without wasting a word
I know exactly what you meant

I know how it feels
You starve without missing a meal
Look in the mirror...

Don't look at me-
I'm ugly in the morning!

When the headaches gone
The sun's not.
Forgot to turn the alarm
On - on

It doesn't matter how much you think
Or the number of hairs in the sink
I did it to myself again

I know how piggy it feels
He starves without missing a meal
Look in the mirror...

Don't look at me-
I'm ugly in the morning!

I thought it was about anorexia

@chessdogg I think you're on to something here. A few things fit. I know with some mental health shit mornings are a very low point, starve without missing a meal. Hairs in the sink... Could all work for a eating disorder.

the first verse reminds me of waking up after a one night stand and realizing the person you hooked up with isn't as attractive as you thought they were the night before

all of these comments are quite literally older than me. i think it's about anorexia or a one night stand and realizing the person he fucked is uglier than expected

Self loathing YAY!!!!

reminds me of a ton of times being hung over

But that doesn't explain the biggest mystery: what exactly IS he doing at the end of the song? I mean, there's completely falling apart and going batshit insane, and there's the outro.

Cover art for Ugly In The Morning lyrics by Faith No More

yeah the outro is pretty out there huh?

i think its about self loathing and regretting a one night stand (which unfortunley we've all been there at least once lol) but with "You say nothing without wasting a word" could be actions speaking louder than words, and "You looked better before, more more" would be the alcoholic haze clouding his judgement and "I did this to myself again" is an ongoing pattern of behaviour, the going out, getting drunk, picking up a stranger, waking up not only resenting the person next to you but yourself for what you've done
