Bayley Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Unalleviated
Inebriated
Guess it wearing out
Wearing out and wearing off
Contemplated
Meditated
Heavens gated
Guess I'll wait it, out
Fuck a doubt.
Fuck a teary bout
Don't hear me guess I'll shout
Send me thirsty hears a drought
And a draft of my past
Coming last but I'm the quickest in my craft
I bottle up to serve a potion
Fuck money respect the notion
That I fiend in this dream
To escape the nightmare
Blur it so the present doesn't scare
My sole skeleton's only aware
Cause I shook it from it's roots
Gathered all my troops
And forgot about my thoughts
Like I went to play tennis
But abandoned the whole court
Went to start a family
Forgot to build a fort
We can kick it if you wanna
Flip it if you wanna
Hit it if you wanna
Kick it if you wanna
We can kick it if you wanna
Flip it if you wanna
Hit it if you wanna
Kick it if you wanna
Lost in the forest, phone dead so I cannot find the ways
Screaming at the glass like nothing's changed since my younger days
Summer haze
When I search for darkness, I get trapped in these rays
Mind ablaze, life a craze
It controls me like a phase, as I wait
Contemplated method
Patience be the death of me
My mind rots so steadily
I'm dreading the
Day where goals are crushed
Dreams are ruined flushed
Means stuck in a rut
But I don't give a fuck
I keep the word in tuck
Maybe stay in touch, till I fade
Life's a pearl and I jade
Life's a bitch and I paid
For the DLC there's no luxury in custody
Hit the gas pedal for the lust in me
Check the tab, there's enough to me
We can kick it if you wanna
Flip it if you wanna
Hit it if you wanna
Kick it if you wanna
We can kick it if you wanna
Flip it if you wanna
Hit it if you wanna
Kick it if you wanna
Kick it if you wanna
Flip it if you wanna
Hit it if you wanna
The lyrics of Bayley's song "If You Wanna" delve into themes of feeling overwhelmed, struggling with inner demons, and searching for a sense of purpose or escape. The opening lines express a sense of being captivated and overwhelmed, possibly by emotions or external pressures, leading to a feeling of being inebriated and unsure of how to process or handle the situation at hand. The repetition of phrases like "wearing out" and "guess I'll wait it, out" suggest a cycle of contemplation and waiting, with a desire to push through any doubts or difficulties.
As the lyrics progress, there is a sense of frustration and defiance that emerges. The use of profanity and assertive language conveys a sense of anger and determination to push past any obstacles or setbacks. The imagery of bottling up emotions to serve a potion and rejecting the notion of money in favor of respect hints at a desire for authenticity and creative expression, while also grappling with the pressures of societal expectations and success.
The mention of escaping a nightmare and blurring the present reality suggests a longing for a different, perhaps more peaceful or fulfilling, existence. The metaphor of playing tennis but abandoning the court and starting a family without building a fort symbolizes a sense of incomplete or unfulfilled endeavors. The repetition of the phrase "we can kick it if you wanna" and variations thereof could be a call to action or a plea for connection and understanding.
The final verses bring together a sense of being lost, feeling overwhelmed by life's challenges and uncertainties, and grappling with the passage of time. The mention of patience being the death of the singer and their mind rotting steadily speaks to the toll of waiting and uncertainty. Despite these struggles, there is a sense of resilience and defiance, with a refusal to give up or conform to societal expectations. The lyrics ultimately convey a complex mix of emotions, from frustration and doubt to determination and a fierce sense of self-preservation.
