GAYLE Lyrics

Can you turn up the guitar more?
Asking for the guitar to be louder is a diversion from the real problems.

My best friend fucked my ex-boyfriend
The singer's best friend had sex with her former partner, breaking her trust and causing her emotional turmoil.

Now his best friend hits me up
The ex-boyfriend's friend is now showing unwanted interest in the singer, causing further distress.

When I post things for attention
The artist is seeking validation from social media.

We all need an intervention
The group is in need of help to address their unhealthy behaviors.

'Cause ride-or-dies turn to sex and lies
Close friends can become entangled in deceitful behavior and secrets.

No, we don't commit too much
The group lacks commitment and loyalty to each other.

We're power trippin', lovin' it
The group enjoys exerting control over others in their circle.

That's the way we do it, we
Unhealthy patterns of behavior are normalized in their group dynamic.

Glorify our problems
The group takes pride in their issues rather than addressing them.

But we never solve 'em
They lack the motivation or ability to fix their problems.

We're too busy actin' like we know too much
The group feigns omniscience and refuses to admit their own shortcomings.

Fakin' love and fuckin' up
The group's love and relationships are either disingenuous or destructive.

Our friendships
Their relationships with each other are toxic.

We don't feel connected
The group lacks a genuine sense of connection and closeness.

We're too busy talkin' shit and losin' sleep
They waste time and mental energy on gossip and negativity.

We make it look easy
Despite their problems, the group puts up a façade and appears unbothered.

I do my best, get it off my chest
The singer tries to communicate her feelings, but struggles to be understood.

But they never know what I mean
The rest of the group fails to understand the singer's perspective or emotions.

All I wanna do is please
The artist feels pressure to make everyone in the group happy.

People, but they're killin' me
Trying to please everyone is taking a toll on the artist's mental health.

Got me cryin' over nothin', but least I know that I'm high
The artist is emotional and using drugs to cope.

I'm tryna live for something and really I don't know what
The singer feels lost and is uncertain about her purpose.

'Cause nothing's gonna please me, no one's gonna reach me
The artist is disillusioned and cannot find satisfaction in her relationships with others.

Young and dumb and needy, makin' it look easy
The group's behavior is reckless and foolish, but they pretend it's effortless.

We don't trust no one, 'cause
The group has trust issues.

We don't wanna work on it
The group refuses to address their trust issues and work on rebuilding relationships.

We'd rather sit and
The group is complacent and avoids taking action to resolve their problems.

Na-na-na, na-na-na (Please)
Repetition of the phrase emphasizes their desire for help or change.

Easy
Despite their problems, the group makes living recklessly and irresponsibly seem simple and effortless.
