This song is stupid to me and she made me not like her, even though her singing voice is decent.
You go to a party with your friends, judge everybody there, and then basically say that your friends are more cultured and refined bc YOUR friends wouldn't be doing these things...


But why are you there with your friends in the first place? Get your lame ass on and go snap your fingers somewhere else.

I'm sorry if I seem uninterested
Or I'm not listenin' or 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 hollering 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 ask myself what am I doing here?
Oh oh oh here oh oh oh here
And I can't wait till we can break up outta here

Excuse me if I seem a little unimpressed with this
An anti-social 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 the 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 it
That I'll be here
Not there in the kitchen with the girl
Who's always gossiping about her friends
So tell them I'll be here
Right next to the boy who's throwing 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 ask myself what am I doing here?
Oh oh oh here oh oh oh here
And I can't wait till we can break up outta here

Hours later congregating next to the refrigerator
Some girl's talking 'bout her haters
She ain't got none
How did it ever come to this
I shoulda never come to this
So holla at me I'll be in the car when you're done
I'm standoffish, don't want what you're offering
And I'm done talking
Awfully sad it had to be that way
So tell my people when they're ready that I'm ready
And I'm standing by the TV with my beanie low
Yo I'll be over here

I'm not seeing it.

But maybe I'm the ass hole:manny:

The only person she kinda hated on was the "girl" she said had haters :mjlol:

To the bolded:
1.She can always go home.... and I hate break it to her, but no one in a grocery store will care about her well-being, either.
2. If her friends are soooo enlightened, how come they can enjoy the party and she can't (bc she clearly says tell her friends that she'll be "over here"
3. WHO THE fukk goes to a party and just stands by the TV with their beanie pulled down low? This bytch is off her meds, is all.

Never got a judgmental vibe from the song at all. Just a person questioning themselves as to why they are doing what they are doing.


Its been plenty of times I'm out that liquor hit me and then I sit down and think the same thing. Why am I even here:snoop:
^^^^this
The song is for self reflection

The song is also for introverts.

And to that dude hating on your friend listening to The Weeknd. He's probably a shy guy daydreaming, weeknd's dirtbag lyrics representing that guy's inner fantasies.

Y'all nikkas so serious lighten up.
