Draw the Line
David Larbi Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Came here with my senses and I'm leaving alone
Didn’t even ring it but I'm hearing the tone
I swear to you I'm bleeding and I thought I was stone
But I'm cut to the bone, just take this heartbreak to go
I’ve got this call log full of your name
Calls I want but don't make
Late night play the same game
Just so close to a willing mistake

Got this call log full of your name
Calls I want but don't make
Cut this from my memory
But still my mind won't rest in peace
Put one and two and the rest on me
Ride your luck all bets on me
Just take this time and invest in me
No guessing games except for me
And at this moment now
I guess this figures
Cause they say money over love
And I ain't chase no figures
Chase no figures
And just literally speaking
I'm the sum of my connections
Drifting with no purpose
I'm in need of course correction
Falling back into my ways I just can't hold this in
Falling back into my ways so please forgive my sins
Just get bored and misbehave
Different faces every night
Pleasure or a vice
You tell me who draws the line
Just get bored and and misbehave
Different places every night
Pleasure or a vice
Just tell me who draws the line
This isn't right
This isn't right
This should be a message but I read and don't reply
This isn't right
This isn't right
Tell me how I did this when she wasn't by my side
This isn't right
This isn't right
This should be a message but I read and don't reply
This isn't right
This isn't right
Tell me how I did this when she wasn't by my side
This isn't right
Should have done things differently
But can't go back in time
Pleasure or a vice
Just tell me who draws the line
But trying to replace
Is such a empty high to chase
Got this phone on DnD
Call me twice or you ain't reaching me
Even if you make it good luck keeping me
I'm overthinking, huh
I guess it figures
Cause no-one ever sees us
So we're always hidden figures
I say on to the next and again we shine
To the next and again we try
Good in any light
Just as long as it's coloured in lime
Creating situations that I'm too ashamed to mention
And suddenly it's gone and now I need all the attention
What they call a crying shame
Don't like the losing game
But I didn't chose to lose this
Different goalposts I didn't move this
I’m falling back into my ways I just can't hold this in
I’m falling back into my ways so please forgive my sins
Just get bored and misbehave
Different faces every night
Pleasure or a vice
You tell me who draws the line
Just get bored and misbehave
Different places every night
Pleasure or a vice
Just tell me who draws the line
It isn't right
It isn't right
This should be a message but I read and don't reply
This isn't right
This isn't right
Tell me how I did this when she wasn't by my side
This isn't right
This can't be life
Don't have to go through it if I don't open my eyes
This isn't right
This isn't right
And she's the only one I'd ever go to for advice
This isn't right
This isn't right
Tell me how I did this when she wasn't by my side
This isn't right

This isn't right
I don't know how to do this if she isn't by my side

Overall Meaning

In "Draw the Line," David Larbi conveys the complexities of a toxic relationship with a partner who constantly tests his boundaries. He opens by confessing that he arrived with his senses intact but is now leaving alone, wounded and bleeding from a heartbreak he never saw coming. Though he's fully aware of their destructive nature, he admits to keeping a call log of his partner's name, only to resist the urge to dial their number. It's a late-night game of trying to draw a line he knows is as elusive as his partner's whims. But as much as he tries, he's susceptible to falling back into his old ways, unable to control his craving for lust, pleasure, and temporary intimacy.

At the same time, Larbi expresses that he's tired of the façade that comes with this lifestyle. Despite the thrill and excitement that comes with casual hookups, the emptiness that comes with it can be disheartening. He's drained by the constant need to wear different masks around different people, and the feeling of being weighed down by his actions troubles him. He acknowledges that he's attempted to replace his love interest with others, but the thought of continuing down that path makes him feel empty. He's aware that he can't go back in time, and his indulgent ways make him feel guilty.

"Draw the Line" emphasizes the need to express one's boundaries and demands in relationships. It's easy to get lost in the thrill of the moment, but the song explicitly warns of going too far and losing sight of what we value most. It's a confessional song that encourages honesty and self-awareness, and these themes are consistent with David Larbi's style of soulful introspection.

I recently discovered your account and the way you talk is incredible. There was no cuts, no fancy music and edits as an intro. I mean it was so good that I couldn't leave without saying anything about it. By the way, I admired your dedication. It is a challenge I would keep going to day 1. Nevertheless, I think we can all do little adjustments and try this challenge.

David Larbi

Firstly, thank you so much for this comment. I'm quite new to this, so receive this level of encouragement has made me quite emotional - it means more than you know and these words will definitely keep me motivated to keep making this content! Secondly, you're absolutely right, even if we don't do all these things every day, making the effort for ourselves will always make a difference! Have a great week my friend.

I have never ever commented on a video before this. But I felt like I needed to here. Brother you have absolutely smashed it out the park. I have been suffering from depression/anxiety for a few years, been suicidal too. I have always wanted to better myself but I always give up due to various reasons. This is the first proper video I have watched on "75 hard" and I can't thank you enough for making me feel so motivated to try this. I believe in energies and I can feel the the positive vibes within you. Sorry for the long comment but this might just help me change my life around. I'll be trying my best to "keep showing up". Have a wonderful life my friend.

David Larbi

Thank you so much for your comment brother. It truly means a lot to me and I’m so glad that this video has done what it’s done for you. I appreciate you and wishing you all the best.

I’ve heard about the 75 Hard challenge several times, but the way people talk about it makes it feel impossible and unattainable. So thank you for telling us about the process and how it felt for you, truly inspiring! Happy for you for staying with it and staying disciplined!

David Larbi

39w↑5

Thank you so much! As I said in the video, my circumstances are definitely optimal ones for this challenge and I would never want anyone to feel bad for not being able to replicate it, but I am proud of myself for completing it nonetheless! Thanks so much for watching and commenting😄

This video struck a cord for me. You seem to have approached this with a level of humility and compassion that is rare. Wellness spaces n influencers often have issues of false promises, intensity and such but this project of yours seems grounded.

I've been in a rut for about 4-5 years now. I'll be 25 soon so i reckon we might have been in the same year at uni! I've tried the 3rd year of my course about 3 times now and i've either taken leave or failed due to mental illness. I've also hesitated connecting to circles of care and wellness due to fears of harshness, macho, rejection - family, friends, online spaces even. I've only just begun to connect now i'm living home for a bit.

What you've done here is good i think. Thank you.

David Larbi

39w↑24

Thank you so much for commenting. It sounds like we are pretty much the same age, so I really feel like I'm talking to a friend here! I'm really sorry that you've had such a rough time of it in the last few years. I think one of the worst things that happens to us as adults is forgetting that any of us could have been in any circumstance and always could be, none of us is any better than another. I really struggled in my final year of uni especially, and was probably fortunate that we got extenuating circumstances because of the pandemic. I feel that I'm also really trying to be my best and find my place in the world and even in this wellness space, I would never call myself any kind of expert - I actually find it hard to talk about my life and experiences generally, but I believe even more that showing and sharing vulnerability can always be of help to someone, so I'm going to keep showing up. All that to say, I hear you and I'm rooting for you and thank you very much for saying something so kind to me. All the best my friend.

I feel like we're kindred spirits in a way because I told my fiancé that I knew when I "made it" financially because I was able to treat myself to fresh berries each week for my breakfast. It was also rare to get them as a kid for me (they are expensive!) so it truly feels like a treat every day. It's such a small thing but it makes me so appreciative for where I am in life.

Also I loved how you closed your eyes as you described sitting up against the radiator reading as a kid, as if you could imagine yourself again in that exact spot. I have the same type of memories. Reading as a child is such a special experience, it truly stays with you your whole life. Would love to hear more about the books you love!

I’m on day 3 of 75 hard and during my exercises I’m listening to other people who have done the challenge. Thank you for sharing your experience! One of the biggest reasons I’m doing this challenge is because I have a food addiction that has been out of control most of my life. This year I actually relapsed during a time or grief and gained 50 lbs in four months! I lost all sense of confidence and felt so shamed. This challenge is helping me take back control of my life and I plan to continue it at least until my birthday in November. One of the things that really made me excited is when you started reading your list of things to eat when you finished the challenge and it didn’t trigger me. I didn’t fantasize about any foods. I didn’t wish that there was something I could eat. I felt my resolve kick in and that was a major win for me. Thanks again for sharing!

David Larbi

That is amazing and you should be very proud of yourself! Rooting for you big-time, I know you've got this!!

This was incredible. Saw your reel on insta and thought it was interesting. Certainly didn’t think I’d watch and listen intently for 30 straight minutes. Can’t even remember the last time I listened to a podcast or watched something like this and finished it. It’s weird to me in a way, I’m trying to put it into words how and why I felt so engaged with this, but it’s hard to put a finger on it.
Very motivational, thanks for this. I’m going to try this out!

David Larbi

I love the conclusion of the video. Beautiful. Iwill finish the challenge this sunday. That changed my life. I am now positive, in shape and I lost 13 pounds in the softess way ever. I eat a lot and ealthy and I loose weight because of the physical activity. I am changed. I found some sense to my life, I don't ever question myself about what I will do in the day, I never feel bored because I know where I go and that's meaningfull to me. I discovered salsa dancing, step and some aerobic routine that I love and do at home. I never do hard things, I have fun with sport and explore. All summer, I biked at sunset and I never saw that many rainbows and pink clouds. I walked under the sun and under the rain. I found a great joy in it. I plan to continue and restart again and again. I just feel like a child playing outside, enjoying nature, dancing. I stopped alcool and don't plan to drink again because this is useless, that takes my energy and I don't need it. I am richer because I do free activities and don't buy alcool. Walking is a meditation for me. My mood is so much better. I went to work after the summer break (I am a teacher) and people said to me: you are in great shape. They talked about sport without me mentionning sport. Not : you lost weight. I look like someone who do sport and that was not the case in June. That was my goal: to define myself as a sportive person. I highly recommend this challenge, but do what you love in it, don't be hard on yourself, be consistent.

I stumpled across you very recently upon seeing your video about your cornrows with the beads and I still cant get over the levels of positive energy you exude in every video. I'm a 14 year old boy and I've been having a lot of ups and downs with trying to improve myself and finding motivation but you've really clicked something in me. I really want to try this challenge now because of your video and by the way mad respect man. This was such an inprising and impressive video. Thank you and keep it up. you deserve the world.

Your voice, setup, content, everything is absolutely amazing and an example of how things need to be done. Never before have a been so hooked on a 30 min video and was not concerned about how much of the video was left. You’re also an amazing orator, Kudos on completing the challenge! I downloaded the app today because I felt like I really needed some change in my life. I have brought myself to the point where I don’t show up myself, value myself or trust my own word and I need to change that. I want to go into 75hard with 0 expectations and do it just because I said I would. Thank you for an amazing video!

Dude how is your channel not getting more attention? what a tremendous quality of speech, expression, and text. I'm doing 75 hard and I failed on day 5, started over and I'm on day 1 again. I have a gym in my building but two workouts a day is intense! I make one of them a cardio workout and I do it outside while I can, I'm in Canada so soon it will be too cold to be outside. Drinking 4L of water is excessive and can be problematic in terms of keeping the sodium and potassium levels in balance in our body. I used the formula 35ml * weight in kg to calculate mine and it's great.

Isabella Li

the thing that really struck me was that you said you’ve attempted this challenge before but you didn’t say you failed it. it’s so encouraging just to have the reassurance that just because you haven’t completed the challenge on your first try doesn’t mean you’ve failed it completely; you can always try again. it speaks to me as someone who gives up on things easily if i feel like i’ve failed and it’s assuring to see someone who tried again until they got it.

David Larbi

Absolutely! Pushing yourself out of your comfort zone automatically puts you further than you were before, so even if that attempt doesn't make it to fruition, progress has ben made just by trying and you can absolutely try again!

Watching this and realizing there are no cuts, no music and appreciating how good the audio is and your voice made me enjoy this video A LOT. I'm also here from Insta. It's so insightful and I like how you're just simply sharing with us. I was feeling restless and antsy, so when you talked about feeling the same way and your mom's advice that it means you're ready to change...it really resonated. The skittles part too! 😆. Great video

Hi! I would just like to congratulate you on your achievements! And I want to thank you for your candour and amazing approach to this video/podcast. It's a very refreshing difference to a lot of other content being pushed now a days. I can tell you aren't doing it for views/commission/exposure/likes and that you are very genuine. You have inspired me to focus more mindfully on myself and to challenge myself to work on these little things for myself. Keep up the good work and keep posting on tiktok/YouTube! You are going to go far!

This was an amazing video that captivated me until the very end. Thank you for your dedication and summary for the 75 Hard Challenge. This inspired me to do the 75 Hard Challenge myself, or start out small before just jumping off the cliff :) I am thankful for the Youtube recommendations that I get because this video is AWESOME! I also remember seeing the intro to this video in a tik tok so I'm glad to have gotten the chance to watch the content itself. Amazing work here! Can't wait to see what you do in the future.

I enjoyed hearing about your growth mentally throughout the challenge, and some of your comments on discipline have really resonated. do you feel like your new mindset will show up in other parts of your life like work, relationships etc?

David Larbi

39w

It definitely will and already has! As I said in the video, this definitely helped me value myself more and that's having a really positive impact in helping me feel the love in my good relationships, and identify which relationships don't value me as much as they should. It's also given me a lot of belief in my work, that I'm capable of doing the things I set my mind to!

I don't know if I've ever left a comment on a YouTube video, but this was such a wonderful video. I loved the upfront honesty of your access to time to achieve some of these tasks, but it instantly made me realise I have enough time in incorporate a lot of the rules. It was complete chance watch on my recommended and I watched the whole video without distraction. Such a great communicator at a lovely pace, that absolutely challenges my current tiny attention span and straight after watching this video I completed nearly an hour of committed language learning and went to the gym.

I loved your video, listening in from Australia!! It was really motivating, encouraging, raw and honest. I was moved by how candidly you spoke. I just downloaded the app and will start tomorrow with the challenge. Like many others have said you have a sincere and genuine approach to podcasting which is rare nowadays, keep it up. I read a few comments and seeing how you replied to them shows you're a bona fide individual; keep showing up for yourself everyday.

David Larbi

Wow God had me in mind when he created you :). Thank you for posting this video, 1.) Walking is SO UNDERRATED. When I started the 75 hard, I scheduled walking during my lunch breaks at work and I still walk during my breaks even though I didn't complete the 75 hard all the way. 2.) Drinking the gallon of water was the hardest because I found myself having headaches on my 3rd liter. 3.) I like your point that the progress photos improved your relationship with yourself. That's a beautiful triumph to reach with this rule. 4.) When you lose interest in reading it’s so interesting because you want to read but you lose that motivation and then when you start reading again, you don't want to put books down. Overall, it sounds like the 75 hard really made a positive change in your life which is amazing. Kudos to you for completing this challenge and thank you again for posting your experience.

I kind of teared up when you talked about the fact you didn't eat raspberries as a child and I totally get what you mean. We had the same 10 cent canned pate on our sandwich for lunch for years because my mother couldn't afford anything else. Bless her for doing all she could to get us out of that situation and giving us everything now I'm Feeling so blessed to able to choose what I want to eat now and prioritise my health .anyway sending you hugs!

You got me from the start to the very end. I’ve recently switched job, and I have four days wfh, so I’m hitting the gym a lot more often. There are many things that I think I can take from the 75 Hard, although taking it full on is not something I feel ready to do yet.

Finally, what you said at the end, that it’s mostly about showing up for ourselves … that’s something so important. I was kinda losing perspective as to why I was working out and eating health.

All in all, amazing content, amazing video!

Very unique story telling style. I was hoping to see shots of workouts, your diet or the progress pics. But you have a good radio/podcast voice, makes it very easy to listen to.

I came to this after seeing your short video with both the books you’d be reading (the book you wish your parents had…) and then the next day saw the climate book in a book shop where I live. Felt compelled to come back and watch your vlog. Glad I did!

My guy! Who starts a vlog weeks ago and is hitting such strong quality from the off?!

You’ve got a really solid tamber and your delivery pace and what you’re focusing on is great. If this is now, I’m looking forward to seeing how good it gets.

One thing about the working out twice a day. Having to think of this each day is a lot of effort, how do you plan what to do when? You mentioned listening to your body and what makes you feel good but in reality, at least for me, I don’t have the time or expertise to think this through twice a day. Wondering how you approached this… Thanks!

David Larbi

39w

I had to make the time to think about it, and looked up lots of active recovery exercises and workout plans so I always had options!

I really admire your style of talking to the camera. No uhmm, mhmm, ehmm or stuttering. Just pure value. You are definitely a great speaker. Also you haven’t repeated yourself. All that makes the listener want to listen to you.
Not to mention, you’re really easy on the eyes!
I just know by looking at your face that you have great humor and personality! Keep going!
I will do this challenge aswell, because I am a businessowner and I want to have better mental toughness and mental discipline. Thanks for the inspiration!

I heard about this challenge just yesterday and im thinking on starting but would make 30min (runnin in the morning) and 60min gym workout. 45/45 seems too much for running in the morning and 45 not enough for gym. Hope this counts😶

It technically wouldn’t be but it would be beneficial nonetheless I’m sure!

I really appreciate this video. I usually speed through YouTube videos with a similar format but I didn't this time. Question though, while doing the challenge did the urge to use the washroom as frequently disappear?
