Are You Looking After Yourself? Lyrics

Really cool song. Her mom is worried because her daughter is not leading a conventional life. The daughter is not interested in that kind of life.

However, in the last verse, the daughter seems to have come to the conclusion that her mom was right about a conventional life.

I think Courtney is commenting on how people, as they get older, become more conventional and practical. And they sorta start to think just like their parents.
