Zenith
Denzel Curry Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Catch me, catch me
Catch me, catch me
Catch me, catch me
Catch me, catch me
Catch me, catch me
Catch me, catch me

Catch me on the zenith, that's the only time you'll see 'em
Televised, paralyzed, thoughts are paraplegic
Sit yourself down, let us smoke up the ounce
Bounce 'til I'm leaking semen on your couch and then I'm out
Catch me on the zenith, from the Southern region
Federation is my motherfucking legion, we don't believe in
False prophets, fake gods and we never trust niggas
Two rules in my house, no shoes, no fuck niggas
Catch me on the zenith, fuck a TV screen, bitch, let it die
Look at your reflection, and ask, "Who am I?"
I internally extinguish the evil
So I look externally to a place I can see you and still
Catch me on the zenith, devastation, several nations
Singing that my nation is the king, it's all praying on a better day
Bumping hay shit, fades away
Day by day, night by night, no I in no sight
Catch me on the zenith like I'm Hercules and Xena
Or Trick Daddy or Trina with the victims of Katrina
When the levees broke, there was never hope
Turn the TV off, I'm out the door
'Bout to make some dough, on a lighter note
Catch me on the zenith getting jailed for misdemeanors
That's until I change the channel to an ad for Neutrogena
On the TV screen, before my very eyes
I know that revolution will never be televised, but

Catch me on a zenith, catch me on a zenith
Catch me on a zenith, catch me on a zenith
That's the only time you'll see 'em, nigga
Catch me on a zenith, catch me on a zenith
Catch me on a zenith, catch me on a zenith
That's the only time you'll see 'em, nigga

Catch me on a zenith that at the top hole of my penis
While I'm screaming, "Fuck the world!"
That's the only time you'll see him
Bitch niggas hate but wanna be him
'Cause I'm at the colosseum
Internationally known, you are known in your home
Catch me on a zenith, looking, down from my nimbus cloud
Just thinking aloud, "The sky's the limit" how, nigga?
I'm in it now and, Still I Rise
And as crazy as it sounds we gon' get more high
Catch me on a zenith asteroid projected to Venus
Woke up in a European with a singer
She said she just can't wait to get home and cook me dinner
Curry chicken for the soul, man, I'm feeling like a winner
Swear I love that bitch
Catch me on a zenith, anything I say I mean it
Sorry if it hurt your feeling man, focused on my millions
Stacks piling past the ceiling
Tryna get the future right for my future children
Like hol' that
Yeah, catch me on a zenith on the side the grass is greener
While I'm rolling up the reefer, reeking louder than the speaker
Used to hate all of my teachers, now they in my bleachers
Cheering on my every move, now that I'm eating
Catch me on zenith channeling a fucking genius
While I catch the way these demons try to catch me while I'm sleeping
Won't slip, won't fall even if I did get back up and stand tall
Tell 'em suck my dick and catch me on a zenith bitch
For the last time, with my nigga D. Curry from the fucking C9, nigga
We done toured the whole globe two damn times
It's safe to say this shit is mine, man we run it

Catch me on a zenith, catch me on a zenith
Catch me on a zenith, catch me on a zenith
That's the only time you'll see 'em, nigga
Catch me on a zenith, catch me on a zenith




Catch me on a zenith, catch me on a zenith
That's the only time you'll see 'em, nigga

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Denzel Curry's "Zenith" explore themes of self-discovery, success, and revolution. Lines like "Catch me on a zenith, that's the only time you'll see 'em" and "Look at your reflection, and ask, 'Who am I?'" suggest a search for personal identity and purpose. However, the other lyrics in the song also suggest a larger political and societal critique. The line "Two rules in my house, no shoes, no fuck n****s" implies that Curry surrounds himself with only a select group of trusted individuals, while lines like "We don't believe in false prophets, fake gods, and we never trust n****s" and "Devastation, several nations, singing that my nation is the king" suggest a rejection of dominant ideology and a call for revolution.


Throughout the song, Curry also references his international fame and success, with lines like "Internationally known, you are known in your home" and "Swear I love that bitch" referencing both his global fan base and his love for the music itself. Ultimately, the song appears to be a celebration of both personal and collective triumph, with Curry using the metaphor of reaching the "zenith" to represent both.


In terms of music theory, "Zenith" is a relatively straightforward track, featuring a minimalist beat and simple chord progressions. However, Curry's dynamic and emotive delivery, as well as the song's lyrical content, make it a standout track on his album "Imperial."

Zenith ccording to the Cambridge dictionary:

the highest point reached by a heavenly body (= any object existing in space, especially a planet, or the sun) as it travels around, or appears to travel around, another body:

The summer sun was at its zenith in a cloudless sky.

The sun is well past its zenith when we cross paths with a mini-flotilla.

the point in the sky directly above you:

The centre of the map is the zenith (straight overhead).

A pall of cloud muffled the whole expanse of sky from zenith to horizon.
