Picky Lyrics – Meg Donnelly

Picky Lyrics Meaning

[Intro]
The intro of the song expresses how the singer feels that people often talk a lot but don’t stay true to what they say. There’s a sense of disconnect because everyone is speaking but not being real with each other, and the singer feels it strongly.

[Pre-Chorus]
In this part, the singer sets a boundary and makes it clear that if the situation gets uncomfortable or people start getting in her ear with unnecessary things, she won’t engage. She even suggests that if things get too weird, she’d rather completely disconnect and disappear, leaving everything behind.

[Chorus]
The chorus highlights the singer’s personal rule of being selective with the people and energy she allows into her life. She values protecting her energy and staying away from negative or fake vibes. She’s clear about being picky with who and what she lets affect her.

[Verse]
Here, the singer explains that she may distance herself from people if she feels overwhelmed or needs her own space. She doesn’t tolerate fake behavior or deceitful people (“snakes”) in her life. She craves authenticity and doesn’t want to be involved in the fakeness that can come with pop culture or the entertainment industry.

[Pre-Chorus]
Once again, the singer repeats her message of distancing herself if things get weird or if people start crowding her space. She makes it clear that she doesn’t want to hear or engage with any negativity or unnecessary chatter, even suggesting she might disappear without a trace if the situation doesn’t feel right.

[Chorus]
In this chorus, the singer reaffirms that she’s very particular about who she lets in her life. She’s careful with her energy, making sure it’s only spent on positive, genuine experiences and people, and she doesn’t waste time with anything that doesn’t align with her values or feelings.

[Bridge]
The bridge emphasizes the feeling of disconnection the singer has when people talk but aren’t being honest or real. She can sense the fakeness around her, and it’s something she deeply feels. She expresses her frustration that while everyone is speaking, very few are actually genuine in their words and actions.

[Chorus]
In the final chorus, the singer repeats her commitment to being selective with her energy. It’s not just a passing feeling; it’s a consistent choice. She wants to protect herself from negative influences and make sure she’s only surrounding herself with positivity, remaining true to her values and keeping her space clear of anything that doesn’t feel right.
