Sad
Bebe Rexha Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Drowned out by your thoughts?
Tryna get a grip but just keep on spiralling down
Voices getting loud
Feeling something now
Only you know way too well
Do you ever sleep? With troubles in your head?
Wrapped up in regrets?
You're stuck inside a spell
Don't need nobody else, body-else
So don't you mind
I'm doing just fine, I'll be fine, I'll be fine
Maybe I'm just comfortable
Maybe I'm just comfortable
Baby, maybe I-I-I'm just comfortable being sad (oh whoa)
Yeah, maybe I'm just comfortable
Maybe I'm just comfortable
Baby, maybe I-I-I'm just comfortable being sad (oh whoa)
I need to get away from inside of my brain
I feel some type of way
I'm dancing all alone surrounded by everyone else
I do it to myself
Not asking for your help, for your help
So don't you mind
I'm doing just fine, I'll be fine, I'll be fine
Maybe I'm just comfortable
Maybe I'm just comfortable
Baby, maybe I-I-I'm just comfortable being sad (oh woah)
Yeah, maybe I'm just comfortable
Maybe I'm just comfortable
Baby, maybe I-I-I'm just comfortable being sad (oh whoa)
So don't you mind
I'm doing just fine, I'll be fine, I'll be fine
Maybe I'm just comfortable
Maybe I'm just comfortable
Baby, maybe I-I-I'm just comfortable being sad (oh whoa)
Yeah, maybe I'm just comfortable
Maybe I'm just comfortable
Baby, maybe I-I-I'm just comfortable being sad (oh whoa)
The lyrics to Bebe Rexha's song "Sad" are a powerful depiction of the struggle with mental health issues. The opening lines describe the feeling of being alone in one's thoughts, overwhelmed and unable to gain control. The imagery of spiraling down and the voices getting louder creates a sense of chaos and helplessness. The next stanza portrays the pain of sleeping with regrets and the difficulty of finding help from within.
The chorus is a repetition of the phrase "Maybe I'm just comfortable being sad", which serves as a haunting reminder of the cycle of depression. The repetition also emphasizes the acceptance and normalization of sadness, something that should not be considered a part of everyday life. The use of the word "comfortable" suggests that sadness has become a familiar and predictable state of being, one that is almost preferred to the idea of getting better.
The bridge highlights the desire to escape one's own mind and emotions, yet acknowledges that the source of the problem lies within oneself. The final repetition of the chorus reaffirms the acceptance of sadness as an integral part of one's life.
Overall, the lyrics of "Sad" give voice to the struggles of many individuals who deal with mental health issues. Bebe Rexha masterfully captures the intensity and complexity of these issues through her powerful lyrics and emotive delivery.
