Self Esteem Lyrics Artist(Band):Offspring
I wrote her off for the tenth time today And practiced all the things I would say When she came over I lost my nerve I took her back and made her dessert Now I know I'm being used But that's okay man cause I like the abuse I know she's playing with me But that's okay cause I've got no self esteem chorus: Oh wayo, yeah, yeah Ohhhhhhh, yeah, yeah (Repeat three times) We make plans go out at night I wait till 2 then I turn out the light this rejection’s got me so low If she keeps it up I just might tell her so Chorus When she's saying, oh that she wants only me Then I wonder why she sleeps with my friends When she saying, oh that I'm like a disease Then I wonder how much more I can stand Well I guess, I should stick up for myself But I really think it's better this way The more you suffer The more it shows you really care Right? Yeah! Now I'll relay this little bit It happens more than I'd like to admit Late at night, she knocks on my door She's drunk again and, looking to score Now I know, I should say no, but It's kind of hard when she's ready to go I may be dumb, but I'm not a dweeb I'm just a sucker with no self esteem Chorus When she's saying, oh that she wants only me Then I wonder why she sleeps with my friends When she's saying, oh that I'm like a disease Then I wonder how much more I can spend Well I guess, I should stick up for myself But I really think it's better this way The more you suffer The more it shows you really care Right?

Review about Self Esteem this is just retarded.... | Reviewer: adfakdjfal | 9/30/2008 nirvanas my favorite band and offsprings definately up there and i swear the first time i heard offspring i thought it was nirvana. just cause this song is total kurt cobain status with the whole writing about self esteeem. and only this song from offspring actually sounds like nirvana. offsprings sounds more punk to me. i dont think this was influenced at all they both sing about the same kinda stuff everyone does. nirvana is a tiight band but i dont think anyone jocked what nirvana was doing.because nirvana wasnt even the first gruge band.i think it just something they enjoyed doing too just nirvana was better at it. and its kinda like that stp song half the man... everyone in grunge sounded kinda the same. just like now with this whole hardocre screamo emo shit...it all sounds the same. so you all are gayer then gay gay gay, stop hatin on offsping. err | Reviewer: jordan | 9/18/2008 It definetly sounds like nirvana's teen spirit even though they are two completely different songs, i love both personally but the first time i heard self esteem it instatly reminded me of nirvana and that was without reading other peoples comments on the matter first ... | Reviewer: Haley | 1/15/2008 Hai, you guys! Why dont you shut the fuck up about the nirvana and offspring thing. Who cares if it sounds the same? Its not YOUR problem, its theres, and THEIR buisness, so just leave it alone... (And, Adrian, your soo right. Fuckin Courtney Love killed Kurt. =[) wtf | Reviewer: Dana | 12/13/2007 this song and smells like team sprirt dont sound the same u dipshits..hahah u should listern to it closely..i play both the songs in a band and they are totally dffernt uz dont know ur music for shit..hahah they have differnt keys dumb ass | Reviewer: Anonymous | 12/11/2007 just to end the whole smells like teen spirit vr self esteem thing, the fact is simple, the key and beet are different, not to mention that the cord progression is really common. look at don't forget me by red hot chili peppers or beer by real big fish. the fact is it's ok to use similar chord progressions, the important thing is the interpretation of them and the lyrics that go with them. if you want to see some coping of chords just look at rockabilly, practically every song uses the 1 5 3 pattern. peace and love Right? Yeah! | Reviewer: Casandi de ser Mandy | 12/3/2007 I really like this song, especially the line that says 'the more you suffer, the more it shows you really care'. I feel like I can relate to it alot to, becuase the more I hang on to my X the more I care, right? No? Honestly, all I know is that this song is nothing short of AMAZING. Well, anyway, mabey this song shares some similarities to Nirvanas "Smells Like Teen Spirit" because they are from the same genre? Just a thought. difference between a rip-off and an influenced song | Reviewer: Anonymous | 11/21/2007 wat is everyones problem? offspring will be offspring and nirvana will be nirvana. two great, but differnt bands. nonetheless, music is stolen all the time, and its no biggy. a rip-off is not based on music. Rip-off: when you take lyrics (more than one line) and call them your own. Taking music is not wrong. it shows influence and innovation if you can write different lyrics to the same riff or whatever. however, majority of the time, a riff that is taken is twisted or improved so that they can call it their own. the riff from Self Esteem sounds similair to nirvanas smells like teen spirt, but its not the same. the rifff from SLTS is in the key of F while self esteem is in A. also the way the riff is strummed is completely different i. e Main riff-Smells Like Teen Spirit E|-------x-x-x-x-------------x-x-x-x-------| B|-------x-x-x-x-------------x-x-x-x-------| G|-------x-x-x-x-3-3-3-------x-x-x-x-6-6-6-| D|-3-3-3-x-x-x-x-3-3-3-6-6-6-x-x-x-x-6-6-6-| A|-3-3-3-x-x-x-x-1-1-1-6-6-6-x-x-x-x-4-4-4-| E|-1-1-1-x-x-x-x-------4-4-4-x-x-x-x-------| Opening riff-Self Esteem E|----------------------------------| B|----------------------------------| G|---------10101010-5-5---5---------| D|-7-7---7-10101010-5-5---5-5-5-5-5-| A|-7-7---7-8-8-8-8--3-3---3-5-5-5-5-| E|-5-5---5------------------3-3-3-3-| I am older | Reviewer: Loli | 11/16/2007 I understand the reality of low self esteem. I connect with this even though I am now 50 years old. We all need to look after ourselves and those we share our lives, beds and thoughts with ita a ripp off so all of u fuck off | Reviewer: MISTERFUCKER | 11/1/2007 it ia a ripoff u assholes!!!truth will b truth no matter how man u offend!!!thisconversation is now over!! LAME!!! | Reviewer: Anonymous | 10/6/2007 Seriously, what is wrong with a band sounding like someone elses song 5 years earlier. I thought you call that showing your 'INFLUENCE'. What's next RATM sound too much like Led Zeppelin thus they're crap. Gimme a break. A song is a song, it sounds good and has good lyrics, then it's a masterpiece like this one.
