Numb / Beverly Hills
Bladee Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And make me forget you
I've been going crazy since I met you
I don't wanna upset you
Pull up in a Lexus with my besties, rolling off the ecstasy
If you wanna link up, let's connect it, or you wanna dead it
Gotta get it even if it's heavy, so I'm getting ready
Gotta get it even if it's Fendi, yeah, I get it for youShadow of a shadow come to get me, so I'm getting ready
When I'm in the city, tinted windows, riding in a rental
Miss you, yeah, I'm hearing voices
Far away, I'll await you
Nowadays I'm numb without you
Come my way, I'll die for you
Midnight come, I change without you
Far away, still close to you
Nowadays I'm sick without you
In the night I go for you
Nowadays I'm numb without you
Far away, still close to you
Miss you, yeah, I'm sick without you
Come my way, I'll die for you
I'm numb without you, I'll die for you
The lyrics of Bladee's song "Numb/Beverly Hills" explore the theme of love, longing, and addiction. The persona in the song is deeply infatuated with someone who has a powerful hold over them. The lyrics "bring me to you and bring me down with you and make me forget you" signify the persona's willingness to succumb to their lover's influence and to forget their troubles as long as they are with them. At the same time, the persona admits that they have been going crazy ever since they met their lover and do not want to upset them.
The second verse shifts the focus to the persona's lifestyle, as they ride around in a Lexus with their "besties" and indulge in ecstasy. The persona seems to be living a fast-paced and reckless lifestyle, always looking for the next thrill. The lyrics "gotta get it even if it's heavy, so I'm getting ready" can be interpreted as the persona's determination to live life to the fullest, regardless of the consequences. However, the persona also acknowledges the presence of a figurative shadow that is always chasing them, which could represent the negative consequences of their actions.
The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "nowadays I'm numb without you" several times, which highlights the persona's dependence on their lover. The lyrics "come my way, I'll die for you" further emphasize the persona's willingness to do anything for the object of their affection, even if it means sacrificing their own wellbeing.
