Tumblr Girls
G-Eazy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

'Cause I'm in love with these Tumblr girls
With skinny waists and drug habits
Pretty faces love status
She acts as if she's the baddest
Man I swear she's just like tons of girls
She expects the free drinks
And I'm successful she thinks
Always comes around when weed stinks
We fuck off and on, off and on
Only ever really fuck off and on
Never see her these days 'cause I'm often gone
When I'm home off tour never stop for long
Back this week from across the pond
Noticed I was close to the block she's on
Elevator to the floor her loft is on
Drinking whiskey, she likes Vodka strong
But after we fuck it's over
Walked out the door, that's closure
No I can't stay here and hold her
Tomorrow act like I don't know her
Wouldn't ever be here sober
Can't tell which one is colder
My clothing's on, we both did wrong
I gotta go that's what I told her, yeah

Uh, she said she can't feel her face (she said she can't feel her face)
Yeah, right now I can't feel my heart (right now I can't feel my heart)
Ugh, for your feelings there's no place (for your feelings there's no place)
Yeah, but you knew that from the start
You and I were made of glass, we'd never last (never last)
You and I were made of glass, we'd never last (never last)
Meant to die, we moved fast and then we crashed (then we crashed)
You and I were made of glass, we'd never last

She's fine as fuck and she knows it
Sexy body she shows it
Loves the drama she chose it
She draws the line then she blows it
The most fun I suppose it
Pops a bottle won't close it
Fills a fifth then she throws it
She pops a bar now she's dozing
She's hot and cold, hot and cold
Homie I don't know she's hot and cold
Truly the bullshit has gotten old
Superficial with a rotten soul
Fucking off and on, always stop and go
Probably got someone, choose not to know
Head to her place then we lock the door
Making bad calls when I'm off the blow
'Cause she's a bitch, I'm selfish
Want every girl, can't help it
And it's tough for me to shelf it
It's you I see myself with
Right now I know you felt it
I touched her then she melted
We shouldn't chill but we do it still
Gotta play the hand if you dealt it, yeah

Uh, she said she can't feel her face (she said she can't feel her face)
Yeah, right now I can't feel my heart (right now I can't feel my heart)
Ugh, for your feelings there's no place (for your feelings there's no place)
Yeah, but you knew that from the start
You and I were made of glass, we'd never last (never last)
You and I were made of glass, we'd never last (never last)
Meant to die, we moved fast and then we crashed (then we crashed)
You and I were made of glass, we'd never last

Missing everything you say
It's not important what you stand for
You're asking will he be the one, I'll be gone before you're done tonight
Waiting for another day
You're not getting what you paid for
Trying to salvage what's undone and deny you got outrun tonight
Never knew her name, they're looking all the same to me




They only chase the fame
There's no one left to blame but me

Overall Meaning

In "Tumblr Girls," G-Eazy sings about his attraction to girls he meets on Tumblr. He describes their physical appearance, including skinny waists and pretty faces, as well as their attitudes, such as their love for status and expectation of drinking for free. He also acknowledges that they have drug habits, that he only sees them occasionally, and that they have a cold, superficial and selfish nature. He presents himself as equally responsible for their toxic relationship. G-Eazy describes them as being made of glass and likely to crash, emphasizing their fragility.


The song highlights the danger of chasing temporary pleasure, immediate self-gratification, and materialistic desires. It shows how people can become addicted to physical beauty and instant gratification, leading to a destructive cycle. G-Eazy seems to be aware that his relationship with Tumblr Girls is unhealthy, but he is unable to resist their allure, leaving him feeling numb and hollow.


The song also touches on the pressure on young people to conform to unrealistic beauty standards and the dangers of social media in perpetuating those standards. Tumblr is known for having a community of people that are mutually supportive of self-harm, eating disorders, and addiction, which can create an environment that is harmful for vulnerable people.
