Gnash Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But sometimes I could run away, I move slower in your time
Can you give me a moment babe?
Oh yeah, can you give me a moment, yeah?
I rested in pieces, I rest when we're sleeping, I hate to be awake
'Cause all the attention and all of your senses, I took 'em all away
Can you give me a moment, ye-ye-yeah?
Oh yeah, can you give me a moment, yeah?
I want you here right next to me, so we can rest in peace
We rest in peace, we rest in peace, we rest in peace
We rest in peace, we rest in peace, we rest in peace
We rest in peace, we rest in peace, we rest in peace
We rest in peace, we rest in peace, we rest in peace
You and me, truthfully we can be
Happy for eternity, just come with me
I can show you things you've never seen
Yes indeed, I can take you to your destiny
You best believe, I'm giving you the best of me
And I confess that there's no place that I would rather be
Than underneath, in between, you're in my dreams
So every night I go to sleep, I rest in peace
Reminiscing of nights with you on the phone with me
Telling me how you wanna be all alone with me
So now that you're finally in the zone with me
Girl I wanna see everything that you told me
Vamanos, I think we're getting kinda close
We're slipping into comatose, gross
I want you here right next to me, so we can rest in peace
We rest in peace, we rest in peace, we rest in peace
We rest in peace, we rest in peace, we rest in peace
We rest in peace, we rest in peace, we rest in peace
We rest in peace, we rest in peace, we rest in peace
We rest in pieces
I don't wanna, don't wanna, don't wanna hurt you baby
But I know that I will, that I will, will, sooner or later
Find out, first baby
Get you in the morning light
Maybe, then baby, we could be alright, yeah
Alright, can you hold me tight right now?
Rest in peace, rest in peace with me
All along
In "Rip," Gnash sings about feeling overwhelmed by the attention and presence of a loved one. He asks for a moment to himself, to be in his own world to rest and to find peace. He feels invisible and unable to keep up with the pace of his partner. He confesses his love to his partner and his desire to spend eternity with them, showing them things they've never seen before. The song merges melancholy and yearning with a sense of comfort and fulfillment, as Gnash envisions the peaceful moments he can share with his partner.
There's a sense of vulnerability that permeates throughout the song, as Gnash bares his soul to his partner. It's a plea for understanding and recognition of his need to regroup, a desire to be in a space where he's comfortable. The chorus features the repetition of the lyrics "We rest in peace," which is a reassurance for both Gnash and his partner that, despite his need for a break, he sees a future with them where they can find calm and balance.
The song's overall message is that relationships require an understanding of the importance of taking a break, and of being there for each other through the good and the bad times. Gnash's raw emotions and heartfelt lyrics in "Rip" make it a poignant and relatable song for anyone who's ever needed space within a relationship.

Sorry if my physical's looking invisible right now
I apologize if it seems like I'm not present or not fully myself at the moment
But sometimes I could run away, I move slower in your time
Sometimes I feel overwhelmed and need to take a step back, and I may not be operating at the same pace as you
Can you give me a moment babe?
Can you please be patient with me and give me some time to gather myself?
Oh yeah, can you give me a moment, yeah?
Again, I'm asking if you can give me some space and understanding in this moment
I rested in pieces, I rest when we're sleeping, I hate to be awake
I feel like I'm only truly myself when I'm asleep, and I don't enjoy being fully conscious because it's uncomfortable for me
'Cause all the attention and all of your senses, I took 'em all away
I feel like I've drained your energy and your focus by being so difficult to be around
We rest in peace, we rest in peace, we rest in peace
I want to find a state of calm with you, where we can be at peace together
You and me, truthfully we can be
Happy for eternity, just come with me
I can show you things you've never seen
Yes indeed, I can take you to your destiny
You best believe, I'm giving you the best of me
And I confess that there's no place that I would rather be
Than underneath, in between, you're in my dreams
So every night I go to sleep, I rest in peace
I believe that we have a deep connection and that together we can experience a lifetime of happiness. I am committed to making you happy and fulfilling your dreams, and I feel most comfortable and content when I'm with you or thinking of you
Reminiscing of nights with you on the phone with me
Telling me how you wanna be all alone with me
So now that you're finally in the zone with me
Girl I wanna see everything that you told me
I remember the times when we talked on the phone and dreamed of being together, and now that we are finally together, I want to make all those dreams come true
Vamanos, I think we're getting kinda close
We're slipping into comatose, gross
I think we're getting really intimate and close, to the point where we're losing consciousness, which is kind of strange but also kind of beautiful
We rest in pieces
I don't wanna, don't wanna, don't wanna hurt you baby
But I know that I will, that I will, will, sooner or later
Find out, first baby
Get you in the morning light
Maybe, then baby, we could be alright, yeah
Alright, can you hold me tight right now?
I know that eventually I'll end up hurting you even though I don't want to, but I hope that by being honest and vulnerable with you we can work through any issues and find a way to be okay with each other

(Verse 2)
Yeah, You And Me, Truthfully We Can Be
Happy For Eternity, Just Come With Me
I Can Show You Things You've Never Seen
Yes Indeed, I Can Take You To Your Destiny
You Best Believe, I'm Giving You The Best Of Me
And I Confess That There's No Place That I Would Rather Be
Than Underneath, In Between, You're In My Dreams
So Every Night I Go To Sleep, I Rest In Peace
Reminiscing Of Nights With You On The Phone With Me
Telling Me How You Wanna Be All Alone With Me
So Now That You're Finally In The Zone With Me
Girl I Wanna See Everything That You Told Me
Vamanos, I Think We're Getting Kinda Close
We're Slipping Into Comatose, Gross

I hate the fact that Gnash doesn't get more attention than he deserves. He deserves more to be honest.

This is why I love this. It's beautiful in my mind. It makes me emotional. It hits me hard. when someone asks me what songs hit me, I tell them gnash. I get this feeling in my stomach that makes me feel like I need more. Your music brings out the 'me' I never knew about. I always struggle to find how I feel, but you put how I feel in songs. I love your music for this. Thank you.

I thought nobody else understood. I think and do the exact same thing!
