Problems
Bryce Vine Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I been hidin' in my room
I don't think I'm gonna solve 'em
But I can try, you know I do
I keep my distance from the phone lines
I just found out it's Saturday
Picked my guitar up for the first time in months
And all my friends tell me
I'm so bad with faces
I think I've seen too many
Been to far away places
Got stamps I don't remember
From two-hour vacations
I'm too good at complainin'
Considering everything
'Cause I'm not one to turn on a blind eye
There's things I should acknowledge
And take responsibility for
Feel like I might die
Every time I walk out the door
All I see outside is problems
I hope they're mostly gone by June
Yeah, all I see these days is problems
But my favorite one is you
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
'Cause I'm not one to turn on a blind eye
There's things I should acknowledge
And take responsibility for
Feel like I might die
Every time I walk out the door
All I see outside is problems
I been hidin' in my room
I don't think I'm gonna solve 'em
But I can try, you know I do
(Bet you know I do)
All I see outside is problems
I hope they're mostly gone by June
Yeah, all I see these days is problems
But my favorite one is you
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
In Bryce Vine's song Problems, the lyrics tackle the themes of anxiety, social disconnect, and hopelessness. The first verse sets the scene of someone who is avoiding confronting their problems by staying in their room. Despite wanting to try to solve them, they feel overwhelmed and uncertain where to start. The second verse reveals the singer's disconnection from others, as they avoid phone calls and struggle with recognizing faces due to traveling too much. The chorus repeats the phrase "All I see outside is problems," emphasizing this feeling of being trapped and unable to escape from the difficulties of the world. However, it ultimately ends on a hopeful note, as the singer declares that their favorite thing amongst all the problems is their significant other.
The song's use of paradoxical statements, such as "I'm too good at complaining, considering everything," reveal the complex emotions and contradictions that come from struggling with anxiety and depression. The repetition of the chorus also serves to reinforce the idea that the problems are inescapable, and may continue to persist even after the song ends. Ultimately, Problems provides a cathartic outlet for those who feel trapped and alone with their struggles, while also offering a glimmer of hope that love can still exist amidst the chaos.

Even though everyone's depressed and glum, you still find a way to connect in a mellow, light and genuinely easy to relate to kind of way. Plus it sounds awesome. Keep on keeping on, Bryce.
