“Lady Liberty” is about Sidney’s insecurity in originality. Sidney was 17 at the time she released the song in 2014. She was having difficulties trying to find her own identity like anyone else would at around that age.
The sentiment echoes in her 2017 song “Imposter Syndrome” where she sings about...
[Verse 1]
Lovely Lady Liberty told me
"Look around there's no way you can be
An original it's impossible you're one of many
Kids with acoustic attention machines"
I tried my best to leave her words behind
So I'll be there like State Farm
In her New York state of mind
[Chorus]
Oh no, never mind my world is too idealized
The concept's crumbling down it's dust to dust to dust upon the ground
So take a shot of some unnecessary pessimism
There's just no need to sing
I don't mean anything
[Verse 2]
Even though some hope has crawled away
There are still some words my hypocritical self will never say
Check out the product of my mind
It's minor VI, IV, I, and V
Finally originality's mine
But I still sing the song society has written just for me
I only get twelve notes for DIY identity
[Chorus]
Oh no, never mind my world is too idealized
The concept's crumbling down it's dust to dust to dust upon the ground
So take a shot of some unnecessary pessimism
There's just no need to sing
I don't mean anything
[Verse 3]
Then this lady took one look at me
And she saw right through my new identity
"You're just a Frankenstein of influence but I guess that's all alright
Go call yourself unique if the thought helps you sleep at night"
[Chorus]
Oh no, never mind my world is too idealized
The concept's crumbling down it's dust to dust to dust upon the ground
So take a shot at some unnecessary pessimism
There's just no need to sing
I don't mean anything
[Outro]
And isn't it nice?
Isn't it nice?
Isn't it nice?
Isn't it nice?
Isn't it nice?
Isn't it nice?
