Sick
Bif Naked Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Face Down I Woke Up On The Floor Again
Spit it out the words I'll never say again
How can one create the mess I'm in
Easy, your happy I'm not violent

I feel the sky is closing in
My chest it hurts, I cannot breath
Its blinding me, I cannot see
You make me, you make me sick

The song clearly examines emotional and physical pain that the singer is experiencing, with the lyrics “I feel the sky is closing in, my chest it hurts, I cannot breath.” In the chorus, the singer directs her comments to a specific person, blaming them for her condition. She asserts that this person makes her sick and wishes to break free from their negative influence.

The singer's blunt and direct lyrics give voice to those who are often silenced by their own pain. The song addresses how complex relationships can be, where the people we love can help or hurt us. It's an honest song that acknowledges that sometimes love can be destructive and harmful.
