Haunted
4.3 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can't rest, haunted by demons
I feel weak, I can't sleep, I pop pills till I bleed
On the news all week, you can't see pain that I see
I pop pills, but I got a reason
I can't rest, haunted by demons
I feel weak, I can't sleep, I pop pills till I bleed
On the news all week, you can't see pain that I see
There's nobody really who understands
They can't understand my pain, why I feel so insane
Why I wanna pull the trigger and put a bullet in my brain
You can't understand my pain, you don't see what I see
I have no friends, until they hit me up and have something they need
I did this all by my own, now I don't pick up the phone
They say that I changed, but they wasn't here when I was alone, yeah
You couldn't find time then, so I can't find it now
They are here when I'm high, they ain't here when I'm low
I have no friends, 'cause ex friends fucked me over
Thought I would never drink, now it's hard to see me sober
I'm under two pills and two shrooms and Hennesy too
Sometimes I think that this demon who haunts me is you
I sit alone all day and all night in my room
If I die young, you can blame it on pills and shrooms
My best friend fucked my ex chick back in last summer
That's fucked up - only woman I could trust was my grandma
My best friend fucked my ex chick, bitch really left quick
She said I'll be nothing, now I got 2K on my left wrist, yeah
I pop pills, but I got a reason
I can't rest, haunted by demons
I feel weak, I can't sleep, I pop pills till I bleed
On the news all week, you can't see pain that I see
I pop pills, but I got a reason
I can't rest, haunted by demons
I feel weak, I can't sleep, I pop pills till I bleed
On the news all week, you can't see pain that I see
In the song "Haunted" by 4.3, the lyrics delve deep into the internal struggles and pain the artist is facing, primarily through the coping mechanism of popping pills. The repeated refrain of "I pop pills, but I got a reason" indicates that the pills are not just recreational, but a way for the artist to cope with intense emotions and haunting demons that plague their mind. The reference to feeling weak, unable to sleep, and resorting to pills until they bleed suggests a desperate attempt to numb the pain that is consuming them.
The artist shares their feelings of isolation and being misunderstood by those around them. They express a sense of alienation, with nobody truly comprehending the depth of their pain and inner turmoil. The lines "I try to escape life, but I really can't" and "There's nobody really who understands" emphasize the artist's struggle to find solace or understanding in their circumstances. The mention of contemplating suicide, wanting to end the pain by pulling the trigger, showcases the severity of the artist's mental and emotional state.
Further exploration of the artist's relationships reveals betrayal and abandonment, contributing to their feelings of loneliness and distrust. The betrayal of a best friend with their ex-partner, as well as feeling used by others who only reach out when they need something, adds layers to the artist's emotional turmoil. The shift in dynamics within friendships and the perceived lack of support during challenging times deepen the artist's sense of disillusionment and isolation.
The song culminates with references to substance use, such as pills, shrooms, and alcohol, as a means of escape from the haunting demons that torment the artist's mind. The lyrics suggest a tangled web of emotional pain, past traumas, and broken relationships that drive the artist to seek refuge in intoxication. The artist's vulnerability and raw honesty in expressing their struggles with trust, betrayal, and loneliness create a poignant narrative that exposes the darkness lurking beneath the surface. Ultimately, "Haunted" paints a vivid picture of a troubled soul grappling with inner demons and seeking solace in destructive coping mechanisms.
