CONVOLK Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Back in 9th grade
I was really lame
But this girl she was the one
Saw her everywhere
Couldn′t not stare
Asked her out she laughed a ton
These girls will leave you out to dry
These girls don't care if you cry
These girls you shouldn′t waste your time
And she said
These girls will go and break your heart
These girls will tear your life apart
These girls you shouldn't even start
Looking for a boo
Where the fuck are you
I've been waiting all night
Looking everywhere but there′s nothing there
I′ll go home and wonder why
Cause I know
These girls will fuck me up for good
These girls are so damn Hollywood
These girls these girls these girls
Started getting laid
Nothing was the same
Wasn't cool but wasn′t lame
Saw my old crush
Eyes met and she blushed
Cause she saw that things had changed
She walked up to me
Kissed me on the cheek
Whispered something in my ear
Smile on my face
Should've walked away
But I really felt no fear
And I said
These girls will make you feel like trash
These girls will put you on your ass
These girls will break your heart like glass
And I said
These girls will put you in the past
These girls will take you out their path
These girls it′s never built to last
She looked in my eyes
And to my surprise
Wasn't mad and didn′t fight
Told me I was right
Asked to spend the night
I saw the fucking light
These girls, these girls, these girls, these girls
The song “these gir1s” by CONVOLK is a track that explores the various experiences and challenges one might face in relationships. The artist shares his encounters with women from his past and reflects on the lessons he learned from them. The opening lyrics reveal that he was unpopular in high school and had a crush on a girl who he thought was the one. However, when he finally worked up the courage to ask her out, she laughed and told him that girls like her would leave him out to dry, break his heart, and tear his life apart. This experience is something that the artist carries throughout the song, referencing it repeatedly to draw attention to the pervasive nature of these types of relationships.
The chorus of the song accentuates the theme of warning against relationships with these types of girls, referencing what they are capable of doing to a person’s heart and psyche. The artist notes that these girls will “fuck [him] up for good” and are “so damn Hollywood”. Despite the warnings, the artist admits to still wanting to find a significant other and is open to the idea of love, although he struggles with being unable to find it. He ultimately concludes that these types of relationships are not built to last.
The second verse details the artist’s transition from being an unpopular person to becoming more desirable among women. He references running into an old crush and how she reacts positively to him. However, he is aware of the potential harm that could come from being involved with these types of girls and warns himself against falling for it.

Back in 9th grade
Reflecting on a past experience in high school
I was really lame
Feeling uncool and out of place
But this girl she was the one
Developing a crush on a girl who stood out
Saw her everywhere
Constantly noticing and thinking about her
Couldn't not stare
Being unable to resist looking at her
Asked her out she laughed a ton
Attempting to ask her out but getting rejected in a humiliating way
And she said
Revealing the advice she received about girls like her
These girls will leave you out to dry
Girls like her will abandon and betray you
These girls don't care if you cry
They are indifferent to your pain and emotions
These girls you shouldn't waste your time
It's not worth pursuing relationships with them
These girls will go and break your heart
They will intentionally cause emotional harm
These girls will tear your life apart
Their actions can have destructive consequences
These girls you shouldn't even start
Avoid getting involved with them in the first place
Looking for a boo
Searching for a romantic partner
Where the fuck are you
Frustrated by not finding what he's looking for
I've been waiting all night
Investing time and effort into finding someone
Looking everywhere but there's nothing there
Not finding anyone of interest
I'll go home and wonder why
Feeling discouraged and confused by the lack of success
These girls will fuck me up for good
Girls like her will cause irreparable damage to his well-being
These girls are so damn Hollywood
They are fake and superficial
Started getting laid
Having sexual experiences with others
Nothing was the same
His life and perspective changed with these new experiences
Wasn't cool but wasn't lame
Feeling more confident and accepted
Saw my old crush
Encountering his past feelings
Eyes met and she blushed
Feeling a mutual attraction
Cause she saw that things had changed
Realizing he was now different from before
She walked up to me
Approaching him directly and confidently
Kissed me on the cheek
Initiating physical contact
Whispered something in my ear
Communicating a message in confidence
Smile on my face
Feeling happy and content
Should've walked away
Regretting the potential consequences of continuing this dynamic
But I really felt no fear
Feeling brave and confident in the moment
These girls will make you feel like trash
Girls like her can make you feel worthless and insecure
These girls will put you on your ass
Their actions can knock you down and hurt you
These girls will break your heart like glass
They can shatter your emotional well-being
These girls will put you in the past
Pushing you away and leaving you behind
These girls will take you out their path
Intentionally distancing themselves from you
These girls it's never built to last
Relationships with these girls are not sustainable or meaningful
She looked in my eyes
Establishing a connection through eye contact
And to my surprise
Being pleasantly taken aback by her actions and words
Wasn't mad and didn't fight
Not reacting negatively or aggressively
Told me I was right
Acknowledging his insights and perspective
Asked to spend the night
Inviting him to spend more time together
I saw the fucking light
Experiencing a moment of clarity and realization
These girls, these girls, these girls, these girls
Reflecting on the repeated patterns and challenges in relationships with certain girls
