OFFSPRING’S “SELF-ESTEEM”
from:
Offspring’s “Self-Esteem” is the second single from the punk band from Orange County’s third record “Smash” which was released in 1994.
Prior to this, the band, composed of Bryan “Dexter” Holland (vocals), Greg K (bass guitar) and Kevin Wasserman , also called “Noodle” (lead guitar) called themselves “Manic Subcidal”. They first started out as a band in 1984 and has gone through many drummers until they have settled with Atom Willard.
Under the band “Manic Subcidal”, they have released the song “Hopeless” and was part of a compilation album released by Mystic Records. From there, they changed their names into what we now know as “The Offspring” where they have released the single “7” Blackball/I’ll be Waiting” released under Black Label.
In 1991, they have produced the single “Baghdad” produced under Epitaph Records. The following year, they have recorded “Ignition” which has drawn attention to the band and what has started to put them on tour.
But their success really came after the landmark album “Smash”. The album was fueled by the hit singles “Come out and Play”, “Gotta Get Away” and “Self-Esteem”. The record sold a total of eight million copies.
Offspring’s “Self-Esteem” speaks of being stuck in an emotionally abusive relationship. It is about a man loving his partner who does not love him back and he has full knowledge of this but his low self-esteem prevents him from letting go. It is about settling for less than what one deserves because of a low self-perception.
However, according to the band, this song is not based on personal recount as many fans believe.
The full lyrics of the song is as follows:
SELF-ESTEEM (Offspring)
I wrote her off for the tenth time today
And practice all the things I would say
But she came over
I lost my nerve
I took her back and made her dessert
Now I know I’m being used
That’s okay man cause I like the abuse
I know she’s playing with me
That’s okay cause I got no self esteem
We make plans to go out at night
I wait till 2 then I turn out the light
All this rejection’s got me so low
If she keeps it up I just might tell her no
Chorus
When she’s saying that she wants only me
Then I wonder why she sleeps with my friends
When she’s saying that I’m like a disease
Then I wonder how much more I can spend
Well I guess I should speak 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 yeah yeah
Now I’ll relate this little bit
That happens more than I’d like to admit
Late at night she knocks on my door
Drunk again and looking to score
Now I know I should say no
But that’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 that she wants only me
Then I wonder why she sleeps with my friends
When she’s saying that I’m like a disease
Then I wonder how much more I can spend
Well I guess I should speak 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 yeah yeah
