- Overrated LyricsToday's another day you won't deny that
It came so slow you don't remember
When you got so fat
Up above the bathroom mirror the light'll
Make you weak but
It's that pacifying lie that grows now
Every week
And still you hate it, it's overrated
I'll never forget things like, "Who did what?"
Cover old ground and drag
What's useless up
I won't feel guilty about being late again
There's no one to answer to and
No one to hate
It came so slow you don't remember
When you got so fat
Up above the bathroom mirror the light'll
Make you weak but
It's that pacifying lie that grows now
Every week
And still you hate it, it's overrated
Cover old ground and drag
What's useless up
I won't feel guilty about being late again
There's no one to answer to and
No one to hate

When we delve into what the artist truly meant to convey, the track 'Overrated' of Helmet addresses the very internal feeling of discontent and self-hate, represented by the slow increase in fat and the soothing lies that one reveals to himself. The song gives a picture of a person fed up with the every day and society’s demands, and all this is pointed out very clearly by the freedom of no longer being a slave to the outside world, the liberation of no longer feeling sorry for being oneself. Overrated lyrics bring forth mainly contemplation, erupting passion, sadness, loneliness and empowerment. However, simultaneously the track shines a light on the necessity of self-love, battling one's ego and being free from others' expectations.

Official lyrics by
This person has finally realized who and what they really are and possibly does not like what they see in in the mirror, now knows that
only they are responsible for anything and everything they have done or allowed to be done to them. Finally, begins to have acceptance of the fact that if he wants freedom or happiness, he is the only one who can do it and further accepts that he does have to forget the past nor regret it. Which he begins his process of finally loving himself just as he is, all flaws made and yet to come included. The biggest and the greatest part is when he has acceptance that he does not have to be perfect and if he truly likes what he sees in the mirror, he knows he has not given away his own power, needs, anything that makes him truly him and/or did not compromise his own needs in any way. He knows only he is responsible for his own self.
