"Lunchbox Friends" is about the struggle to find genuine friendships in a superficial world, where people only want to be around you for your popularity or what you can offer them, rather than for who you are as a person. The lunchbox friends in the song are those who only associate with the speaker during lunchtime at school, but ignore her for the rest of the day. The speaker desires more meaningful connections and someone who will understand her, rather than someone who just wants to use her for their own gain.

The song highlights the pressures of society to conform to a certain image, as the speaker mentions the expectation to look like a Barbie and be perfect for TV. She also mentions the judgment she receives for smoking weed, which demonstrates the double standards and hypocrisy in the expectations placed on her. Ultimately, the speaker wants to find a friend who will accept her for who she is, flaws and all, and who will stay with her through thick and thin.
