Bubbly
Good Kid Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The opening set
I took the bet, I know the rest
It's good I guess
The cavern is a crowd around
And I can scarce get by
On second breath
Now it's 1 am
And I don't know
How I'll get home
The way, is barely paved
I can't keep my eyes
From closing in between
Each rest, but I'm
Not going to cave
I guess I made it
Yeah I said that I
I'll come along this time but when I try
I get the feeling I someday will die
And I'm not going to care
I never sleep
I never eat
I never leave my house alone
Another evening in between
What I believe and what I know
And what I know
I'm sitting on the 501
A moment's rest
A glacial pace
I won't lose faith
Maybe if I stay
Or ran the rest
To prove myself
I'd still save face
Now we're on our way
Before I quit
At half past 9
Can't get out of this
And now I've lost
That little time
I guess I'll make it
Yeah I said that I
I'll come along this time but when I try
I get the feeling I someday will die
And I'm not going to care
I never sleep
I never eat
I never leave my house alone
Another evening in between
What I believe and what I know
I never sleep
I never eat
I never leave my house alone
Another evening in between
What I believe and what I know
And what I know
So I walked out the back
Before the second set
Settled my debt
I'll miss the rest, that's fine I guess
The cavern is a crowd around
And I could scarce get by
On second breath
Between the press
Now it's 3 am
And I don't know
How I'll get home
The way is barely paved
I can't keep my eyes
From closing
So I'll hit replay
The lyrics to "Bubbly" by Good Kid depict the singer's experience at a concert or musical event. In the opening verse, they arrive before the show starts and take a chance on something unknown. Despite not knowing what to expect, they admit that it's good, although they may not fully understand or appreciate it.
The second verse describes the crowded and stifling atmosphere of the venue. It's difficult for the singer to navigate through the sea of people, but they manage to find some brief relief in catching their breath. However, the exhaustion starts to set in, and it's now 1 am. They contemplate how they will manage to get home, as the journey ahead seems uncertain and challenging.
The chorus reveals the singer's struggle with a sense of existential dread. They express feeling overwhelmed and fearing their own mortality. Despite this unease, they assert that they won't allow it to consume them. The repetition of "I never sleep, I never eat" and "what I believe and what I know" suggests a constant internal conflict between one's beliefs, knowledge, and uncertainty.
In the third verse, the singer finds themselves on public transportation, specifically the 501 bus. They describe it as a moment of respite, but the journey moves at a slow pace. However, they remain determined and refuse to lose faith. They consider the idea of pushing further and proving themselves, acknowledging the importance of saving face.
The chorus repeats, emphasizing the singer's ongoing struggle with fear and indifference towards their mortality. They express a sense of stagnation and isolation, never venturing outside their house alone. They further explore the tension between what they believe and what they know, suggesting a constant internal conflict and searching for meaning.
In the final verse, the singer decides to leave the event before the second set. They settle their obligations but acknowledge that they will miss the remainder. The description of the cavern as a crowd around them echoes the previous verses, emphasizing their feeling of being surrounded and overwhelmed. It's now 3 am, and the uncertainty of how they will get home remains. They admit they can't keep their eyes open, hinting at exhaustion and potentially giving in to the fatigue. The decision to hit replay implies a desire to relive or revisit the experience despite the challenges and uncertainties faced throughout.
Line by Line Meaning
I came in a bit before
I arrived slightly early
The opening set
The beginning performance
I took the bet, I know the rest
I made a risky decision and understand the outcome
It's good I guess
It's satisfactory, I suppose
The cavern is a crowd around
The venue is filled with a large number of people
And I can scarce get by
And it's difficult for me to move through the crowd
On second breath
With only a little energy left
Between the press
Amidst the crowd's pushing and squeezing
Now it's 1 am
Now it's 1 o'clock in the morning
And I don't know
And I'm uncertain
How I'll get home
How I'll manage to return back to my place
The way is barely paved
The route is hardly marked or clear
I can't keep my eyes
I am unable to prevent my eyes
From closing in between
From shutting intermittently
Each rest, but I'm
After every short break, but I'm
Not going to cave
Not going to give in or surrender
I guess I made it
I suppose I succeeded
Yeah I said that I
Yes, I stated that I
I'll come along this time but when I try
I'll participate this time, but when I attempt
I get the feeling I someday will die
I experience the sensation that eventually I will die
And I'm not going to care
And I won't be concerned
I never sleep
I never rest my body
I never eat
I never consume food
I never leave my house alone
I never go outside by myself
Another evening in between
Another night during
What I believe and what I know
My beliefs and my knowledge
And what I know
And what I understand
I'm sitting on the 501
I'm seated on the route 501
A moment's rest
A brief period of relaxation
A glacial pace
An extremely slow speed
I won't lose faith
I won't lose my belief or trust
Maybe if I stay
Perhaps if I remain
Or ran the rest
Or completed the remaining distance quickly
To prove myself
To demonstrate my worth
I'd still save face
I would still maintain my reputation
Now we're on our way
Now we are progressing
Before I quit
Before I stop or give up
At half past 9
At 9:30
Can't get out of this
Can't escape from this situation
And now I've lost
And now I have misplaced
That little time
That brief moment
I guess I'll make it
I suppose I will endure
So I walked out the back
So I exited through the rear
Before the second set
Before the second performance
Settled my debt
Resolved what I owed
I'll miss the rest, that's fine I guess
I will miss the remainder, that's acceptable, I suppose
The cavern is a crowd around
The venue is filled with a large number of people
And I could scarce get by
And I could hardly pass through
On second breath
With only a little energy left
Between the press
Amidst the crowd's pushing and squeezing
Now it's 3 am
Now it's 3 o'clock in the morning
And I don't know
And I'm uncertain
How I'll get home
How I'll manage to return back to my place
The way is barely paved
The route is hardly marked or clear
I can't keep my eyes
I am unable to prevent my eyes
From closing
From shutting
So I'll hit replay
So I will replay it

Verse 1]
I came in a bit before the opening set
I took the bet, I know the rest
It's good, I guess
The cavern is a crowd around that I get scared, scared by
On second breath, between the rest
Now it's 1 A.M. and I don't know how I'll get home
The way is barely paved
I can't keep my eyes from closing between each rest
But I'm not going to cave
[Pre-Chorus]
I guess I made it, yeah
I said that I, I'll come along this time
But when I try, I get the feeling I someday will die
And I'm not going to care
[Chorus]
I never sleep, I never eat
I never leave my house alone
Another evening in between what I believe and what I know
And what I know
[Verse 2]
I'm sitting on the 501, a moment's rest
A glacial pace, I won't lose faith
Maybe if I stay or ran the rest
To prove myself and still save face
Now we're our way before I quit at half past 9
Can't get ouot of this and now I've lost that little time
[Pre-Chorus]
I guess I'll make it, yeah
I said that I, I'll come along this time
But when I try, I get the feeling I someday will die
And I'm not going to care
[Chorus]
I never sleep, I never eat
I never leave my house alone
Another evening in between what I believe and what I know
I never sleep, I never eat
I never leave my house alone
Another evening in between what I believe and what I know
And what I know
[Instrumental Break]
[Outro]
So I walked down the back before the second set
Settled my debt, I'll miss the rest
That's fine, I guess
The cavern is a crowd around that I get scared
Get by on second breath between the press
Now it's 3 A.M. and I don't know how I'll get home
The way is barely paved
I can't keep my eyes from closing
So I'll hit replay
