What Was I Made For?

Original Lyrics

English
[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?

'Cause I, 'cause 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

[Outro]
Think I forgot how to be happy
Somethin' I'm not, but somethin' I can be
Somethin' I wait for
Somethin' I'm made for
Somethin' I'm made for

Meaning & Explanation

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.
