My Horrible Body
Louis C.K. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I can't feel my body
I can't feel my body I can't feel my body
Tell that bitch get out my way cause I can't feel my body
Tell that bitch get out my way cause I can't feel my body
I can't feel my body
I can't feel my body I can't feel my body
Tell that bitch get off them 'percs cause I can't feel my body
Tell that bitch all I do is work cause I can't feel my body
I can't feel my body
I can't feel my body I can't feel my body
Tell that bitch get out my way cause I can't feel my body
Tell that bitch get out my way cause I can't feel my body
I can't feel my body
I can't feel my body I can't feel my body
Tell that bitch get off them 'percs cause I can't feel my body
Tell that bitch all I do is work so I can't feel my body
I was fucking hoes every night in the backseat
Everywhere I go they turn they head cause they dont like me
Demons in my head I'm schizophrenic on the mic see
Murder on my mind I'm making dents so they can feel me
Everywhere I go I turn the lights off they can't see me
Monster in the closet if they see me stop their breathing
Fear is in my lungs I breathe it just for the confidence
Imma kill the block so they put me on them documents

Overall Meaning

Louis C.K.'s song "My Horrible Body" is a complex mix of emotions and introspection. The first couple of lines talk about the power dynamic in a relationship where one person has a hold over the other person, even though they are no longer together physically. "I could leave earth and she still gon' sell her soul for me" suggests that the person in question is so obsessed and under their control that even if Louis was not on this planet anymore, she would still be controlled by his power. This idea is further emphasized in the next line "All these beans hurt I just hope they ain't controlling me," where the artist acknowledges the potential harm these dynamics can inflict on both the controller and the controlled.


The next section talks about the artist's use of substances to escape reality and cope with the intense emotions that are overpowering him. "Moving reverse off that drank I'm sipping Codeine" is a nod to the artist's use of lean – a popular hip hop concoction of Codeine and cough syrup. The following lines, "Watch the love drop to the floor dying slowly," seem to suggest that the artist is aware of the damage his drug use is causing but can't seem to help himself.


The rest of the song is an introspective exploration of the artist's psyche. He talks about the feeling of being out of his body ("I've been out my body, huh go") and the memories and people he has left behind. The repeated lines of "where the love at? Lil' bitch where the love at?" reflect his search for emotional connection and validation, while the use of drugs as a coping mechanism suggests that he is unable to find it despite his best efforts.
