Rising Above the Blame: Rachel Grae's 'Do Better'

Rachel Grae's song 'Do Better' delves into the emotional turmoil and resilience of someone who is unfairly blamed and vilified in a relationship. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person who is being accused of various wrongdoings, such as cheating, vandalism, and arson, by their partner. Despite these harsh accusations, the protagonist chooses to rise above the negativity and not stoop to the same level of pettiness and deceit. This decision to 'do better' reflects a strong sense of self-worth and integrity, even in the face of false allegations and character assassination.

The song employs a mix of sarcasm and defiance, particularly in lines like 'Tell everyone I cheated, stole your car and keyed it, and while you were sleeping that I set your house on fire.' These exaggerated claims highlight the absurdity of the accusations and serve to underscore the protagonist's frustration and disbelief. The repeated refrain 'Yeah you keep doing you, and I'll do better' serves as a powerful mantra of self-empowerment, suggesting that the protagonist will not let the false narrative define them.

It encourages listeners to maintain their dignity and rise above the negativity, no matter how challenging the circumstances. By choosing to 'do better,' the protagonist not only preserves their own integrity but also exposes the true nature of the accuser, turning the tables on the false narrative.
