Lirik Lagu 'Snow White' dari Laufey Tentang Perjuangan Seorang Perempuan

MerahPutih.com - Laufey, penyanyi, komposer, produser, sekaligus multi-instrumentalis berdarah Islandia-Tiongkok yang telah meraih penghargaan Grammy Awards, merilis karya terbarunya bertajuk “Snow White”.

Masih menghadirkan sentuhan dreamy yang telah menjadi ciri khas musiknya, lagu ini mengeksplorasi perasaan tertekan dalam mengejar kesempurnaan, khususnya terkait standar kecantikan yang kerap menjadi beban bagi banyak perempuan.

Mengenai makna di balik lagunya, Laufey menjelaskan, “‘Snow White’ bercerita tentang perjuangan seseorang untuk mengejar kesempurnaan yang datang bersama dari menjadi seorang perempuan, salah satunya tentang menatap cermin dan melihat begitu banyak hal dalam diri sendiri yang terasa harus diperbaiki.”

Berikut lirik lengkapnya:

Can't help but notice, all of the ways

In which I failed myself, I failed the world all the same

I don't think I'm pretty, it's not up for debate

A woman's best currency is her body, not her brain

They try to tell me, tell me I'm wrong

But mirrors tell lies to me, my mind just plays along

The world is a sick place, at least for a girl

The people want beauty, skinny always wins

And I don't have enough of it, I'll never have enough of it

Sometimes I see her, she looks like Snow White

She's everything I am but my wrongs are turned to rights

Her body is smaller, skin is so fair

She's achieved everything I've dreamed of

And it's all that I can think of

They try to tell me, tell me I'm wrong

But mirrors tell lies to me, my mind just plays along

The world is a sick place, at least for a girl

The people want beauty, skinny, always wins

And I don't have enough of it, I'll never have enough of it. (far)
