Cooler Than Me Lyrics

I am so in love with this song, I heard it on the radio, and can't stop listening. He seems to be talking about someone who's dissed him, because she thinks she's better than him, but he's calling her out as completely fake. It's almost a little bitter, but mostly mocking. Fantastic!

ironically, in his descriptions of the girl, he comes across as the vain and conceited one...projecting his character onto the girl because she shunned him. "sour grapes"...she doesn't want god's gift to women, so she must be a snob.

Totally agree with artisticdelusions! It is a "sour grapes" song. The guy seems convinced she doesn't want him because of some flaw in her. How dare she?! WHO does she think she is?! She must think she's cooler than him! She must be vain, superficial and materialistic or she'd certainly want this guy. The guy is the conceited one. It's what makes the song so enjoyable. It's meant to be funny and it is. The beat in it is great too.

You're completely right.
