CRYSPY Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Like what's up shawty
I've been up there
Sending postcards and not
Getting to low
While the booze seem be hitting to slow
Sounding lowkey
When I never had to worry about
Getting to low
While the booze seem be hitting to slow
Heard the phone ring
Like what's up shawty
I've been up there
Sending postcards and not
Getting to low
While the booze seem be hitting to slow
Sounding lowkey
Telling drunk story's
When I never had to worry about
Getting to low
While the booze seem be hitting to slow
It's been rainy for a long time
You say you do not even want a goodbye
And I've been doing anything just to try
And we get by
We get by
Heard the phone ring
Like what's up shawty
I've been up there
Sending postcards and not
Getting to low
While the booze seem be hitting to slow
Sounding lowkey
Telling drunk story's
When I never had to worry about
Getting to low
While the booze seem be hitting to slow
Heard the phone ring
Like what's up shawty
I've been up there
Sending postcards and not
Getting to low
While the booze seem be hitting to slow
Sounding lowkey
Telling drunk story's
When I never had to worry about
Getting to low
While the booze seem be hitting to slow
Heard the phone ring
Like what's up shawty
I've been up there
Sending postcards and not
Getting to low
While the booze seem be hitting to slow
Sounding lowkey
Telling drunk story's
When I never had to worry about
Getting to low
While the booze seem be hitting to slow
The lyrics of CRYSPY's song "Postcards" tells the story of a person who has been sending postcards while under the influence of alcohol. The song begins with a phone call from Shawty, and the singer talks about his drunken state, telling drunk stories while never having to worry about getting too low. Even though the weather has been rainy for a long time, the singer tries to do anything to make the relationship work, and they get by.
The song conveys themes of loneliness, isolation, and emotional distance. The use of postcards as a form of communication symbolizes a lack of effort in the relationship, as postcards are typically sent as brief greetings rather than long, heartfelt letters. The singer's use of alcohol as a coping mechanism further emphasizes this emotional disconnect.
Overall, "Postcards" is a melancholy song lamenting a dying relationship and the difficulties of communication.
