The second track of Clean, Soccer Mommy’s 2018 album, “Cool” sees her idealizing a version of self that is herself a wild animal (like the lover of opening track “Still Clean”).
[Verse 1]
Mary has a heart of coal
She'll break you down and eat you whole
I saw her do it after school, she's an animal
[Verse 2]
And she won't ever love no boy
She'll treat you like a fucking toy
She'll break your heart and steal your joy, like a criminal
[Chorus]
Ooh, I wanna know her like you
I wanna know her like you
I wanna be that cool
I wanna be that
[Verse 3]
Mary keeps you off her mind
She wants to spend her weekend right
Out with her friends just getting high, like a stoner girl
[Verse 4]
And you wait outside on her street
You sit for hours just to see
The girl you pictured in a dream as the only girl
[Chorus]
Ooh, I wanna know her like you
I wanna know her like you
I wanna be that cool
I wanna be that
Ooh, I wanna know her like you
I wanna know her like you
I wanna be that cool
I wanna be that
Cool was written by Soccer Mommy.

“Cool” creates this figure of everything I want to be. It’s fun and upbeat because it’s like a hopeful moment where I’m thinking about how I’m going to be moving forward in my life. However, it’s idealizing things that won’t necessarily make me happy.
