Messy Lola Young lyrics Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You know I'm impatient
So why would you leave me waiting outside the station
When it was like minus four degrees?
And I, I get what you're sayin'
I just really don't wanna hear it right now
Can you shut up for like once in your life?
Listen to me
I took your nice words of advice about
How you think I'm gonna die lucky if I turned thirty-three
Okay, so yeah, I smoke like a chimney
I'm not skinny and I pull a Britney
Every other week
But cut me some slack, who do you want me to be?
[Chorus]
'Cause I'm too messy, and then I'm too fucking clean
You told me, "Get a job", then you ask where the hell I've been
And I'm too perfect till I open my big mouth
I want to be me, is that not allowed?
And I'm too clever, and then I'm too fucking dumb
You hate it when I cry unless it's that time of the month
And I'm too perfect till I show you that I'm not
A thousand people I could be for you and you hate the fucking lot
[Post-Chorus]
You hate the fucking lot
You hate the fucking lot
You hate, you hate
[Verse 2]
It's taking you ages
You still don't get the hint, I'm not asking for pages
But one text or two would be nice
And, please, don't pull those faces
When I've been out working my arse off all day
It's just one bottle of wine or two
But, hey, you can't even talk
You smoke weed just to help you sleep
Then why you out gettin' stoned at 4 o'clock?
And then you come home to me
And don't say hello
'Cause I got high again
And forgot to fold my clothes
[Chorus]
'Cause I'm too messy, and then I'm too fucking clean
You told me, "Get a job", then you ask where the hell I've been
And I'm too perfect till I open my big mouth
I want to be me, is that not allowed?
And I'm too clever, and then I'm too fucking dumb
You hate it when I cry unless it's that time of the month
And I'm too perfect till I show you that I'm not
A thousand people I could be for you and you hate the fucking lot
[Post-Chorus]
You hate the fucking lot
You hate the fucking lot
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
Oh, and I'm too messy, and then I'm too fucking clean
You told me, "Get a job", then you ask where the hell I've been
And I'm too perfect till I open my big mouth
I want to be me, is that not allowed?
And I'm too clever, and then I'm too fucking dumb
You hate it when I cry unless it's that time of the month
And I'm too perfect till I show you that I'm not
A thousand people I could be for you and you hate the fucking lot
[Post-Chorus]
You hate the fucking lot
You hate the fucking lot
You hate the fucking lot
You hate the fucking lot
Messy Lola Young lyrics - English Translation
[Verso 1]
Sabes que soy impaciente
¿Por qué me dejaste esperando fuera de la estación?
Cuando hacía como menos cuatro grados
Y yo, entiendo lo que dices
Pero no quiero escucharlo ahora mismo
¿Puedes callarte por una vez en tu vida?
Escúchame
Tomé tus bonitos consejos sobre
Cómo crees que moriré afortunada si llego a los treinta y tres
Vale, sí, fumo como una chimenea
No soy delgada y hago un Britney
Cada dos semanas
Pero dame un respiro, ¿quién quieres que sea?
[Coro]
Porque soy demasiado desordenada, y luego demasiado limpia
Me dijiste 'Consigue un trabajo', luego preguntas dónde diablos he estado
Y soy demasiado perfecta hasta que abro mi gran boca
Quiero ser yo, ¿no está permitido?
Y soy demasiado lista, y luego demasiado tonta
Odias cuando lloro a menos que sea esa época del mes
Y soy demasiado perfecta hasta que te muestro que no lo soy
Mil personas que podría ser para ti y odias a todas
[Post-Coro]
Odias a todas
Odias a todas
Odias, odias
[Verso 2]
Te está tomando siglos
Aún no captas la indirecta, no pido páginas
Pero un mensaje o dos estaría bien
Y por favor, no pongas esas caras
Cuando he estado trabajando como una loca todo el día
Es solo una botella de vino o dos
Pero oye, ni siquiera puedes hablar
Fumas hierba solo para dormir
¿Entonces por qué te colocas a las 4 de la tarde?
Y luego vuelves a casa conmigo
Y no dices hola
Porque me coloqué otra vez
Y olvidé doblar mi ropa
[Coro]
Porque soy demasiado desordenada, y luego demasiado limpia
Me dijiste 'Consigue un trabajo', luego preguntas dónde diablos he estado
Y soy demasiado perfecta hasta que abro mi gran boca
Quiero ser yo, ¿no está permitido?
Y soy demasiado lista, y luego demasiado tonta
Odias cuando lloro a menos que sea esa época del mes
Y soy demasiado perfecta hasta que te muestro que no lo soy
Mil personas que podría ser para ti y odias a todas
[Post-Coro]
Odias a todas
Odias a todas
[Instrumental]
[Coro]
Oh, y soy demasiado desordenada, y luego demasiado limpia
Me dijiste 'Consigue un trabajo', luego preguntas dónde diablos he estado
Y soy demasiado perfecta hasta que abro mi gran boca
Quiero ser yo, ¿no está permitido?
Y soy demasiado lista, y luego demasiado tonta
Odias cuando lloro a menos que sea esa época del mes
Y soy demasiado perfecta hasta que te muestro que no lo soy
Mil personas que podría ser para ti y odias a todas
[Post-Coro]
Odias a todas
Odias a todas
Odias a todas
Odias a todas
Meaning of Messy Lola Young lyrics
Lola Young's 'Messy' is a raw, unfiltered exploration of self-identity within toxic relationships and societal expectations. The song captures the exhausting emotional whiplash of never being 'enough' - too messy yet too clean, too clever yet too dumb. Through vivid storytelling, Young exposes the double standards women face, particularly in relationships where partners demand contradictory behaviors. The freezing train station imagery in the opening verse immediately establishes themes of neglect and impatience, while references to Britney Spears and smoking create cultural touchpoints about public scrutiny and coping mechanisms. The chorus brilliantly encapsulates the song's core message about the impossibility of meeting shifting expectations, with the repeated 'you hate the fucking lot' serving as a powerful indictment of conditional acceptance. Young's lyrics reveal deeper psychological impacts - the way constant criticism leads to self-doubt ('I want to be me, is that not allowed?') and the gendered expectation that women's emotions are only valid during menstruation. The second verse's domestic details about unfolded laundry and substance use ground the song in relatable reality, showing how everyday conflicts become battlegrounds for self-worth. Musically, the contrast between the melodic verses and explosive chorus mirrors the lyrical tension between restraint and release. 'Messy' resonates because it articulates universal frustrations about authenticity in a world that demands perfection while claiming to value individuality. The song's brilliance lies in its refusal to offer neat solutions - instead, it validates the messy reality of being human in systems that demand impossible consistency.
