Cancel Me
Dominic Fike Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I hope they cancel me (why?)
So I can go be with my family (why?)
So I can quit wearin' this mask, dog (damn)
Tell the people, "Kiss my ass," dog (yeah, yeah)

I hope they crucify me (why?)
I hope they put me down, I hope they euthanize me
I hope I never, ever have to go on TV
Motherfucker, Jimmy Kimmel does not wanna meet me
I told my manager, no more parties in Los Angeles
Last night I fell deeper than Brockhampton down a rabbit hole
Did so much blow I won't ever find my appetite
On my way home I crashed into a satellite
That's why my phone was obsolete for half the night
That's why my dome is ringing, baby
As of right now my job is to lie down

I hope they cancel me (why?)
So I can go be with my family (why?)
So I can quit wearin' this mask, dog (damn)
Tell the people, "Kiss my ass," dog (yeah, yeah)
I hope they cancel me (why?)
So I can go be with my family (why?)
So I can quit wearin' this mask, dog (damn)
Tell the people, "Kiss my ass," dog (yeah, yeah)

Look, after tour, I broke up with my girlfriend (why?)
To fuck a bunch of bitches that I couldn't back then
And yeah, that was cool but now I'm empty as my room
I guess my Insta keep me busy, I got plenty things to do
But I told Reed, "No more of this LA shit
Last night keeps flashin' and I can't take it"
One sec, shut that phone up 'fore I break it
Hold up, take me home before I say it
I hope they banish me, I miss my family tree
I was a family man and now I'm just a man to see
If you can't pay your rent or be responsible financially
They need you, I hope I get Me Too'd

I hope they cancel me (why?)
So I can go be with my family (why?)
So I can quit wearin' this mask, dog (damn)
Tell the people, "Kiss my ass," dog (yeah, yeah)
I hope they cancel me (why?)
So I can go be with my family (why?)




So I can quit wearin' this mask, dog (damn)
Tell the people, "Kiss my ass," dog (yeah, yeah)

Overall Meaning
