What Was I Made For? Lyrics

[Verse 1] I used to float, now I just fall down I used to know, but I'm not sure now What I was made for What was I made for? [Verse 2] Takin' a drive, I was an ideal Looked so alive, turns out I'm not real Just somethin' you paid for What was I made for? [Chorus] 'Cause I, I I don't know how to feel But I wanna try I don't know how to feel But someday, I might Someday, I might [Post-Chorus] Mm, mm, ah Mm, mm, mm [Verse 3] When did it end? All the enjoyment I'm sad again, don't tell my boyfriend It's not what he's made for What was I made for?

Meaning of What Was I Made For?

The song explores themes of existential questioning, feeling lost and inauthentic, and a search for purpose and happiness. It depicts a sense of disillusionment after striving for an ideal (represented by ‘driving’ and being ‘alive’) only to realize one is merely a product or object created for someone else's enjoyment. The repeated question 'What was I made for?' highlights the core struggle with identity and feeling devoid of genuine emotion and purpose.
