i really like from first to last, this is the first time i've read the lyrics and it kind of made me laugh and wonder as to whether or not it's a joke, or a sarcastic view at a certain issue? for one, the song title is 'Failure by Designer Jeans'. I'm wondering if FFTL needed to set up a mood through choosing something like that for their title? I think the only serious, honest part of the song is:
I’m a mess of insecurities
Did you start with the narcissistic twist
So you think that I’m amazing
Please tell me I’m a turn off
I have every reason not to leave home today
It stands out because it contradicts the rest of the song, about how the guy is a player, how he wants to be irresistable etc. The line that I find the most interesting is:
Mirror, mirror, how amazing is my figure
Don't you think it reminds you of Snow White and the wicked stepmother who would go 'mirror mirror on the wall, who's the fairest of them all'?
I think you could take this song in two ways:
One way is that you can take most of the song as this alternate viewpoint that contrasts with the first five lines of the lyrics.. people do this so that people would pay more attention to those lyrics?"
Another way is that the song could be talking about two guys - one is terribly insecure, the other is terribly vain... but i think that this isn't the actual concept, since FFTL could have written more on the insecure guy.
