Ground Up feat. Marty Grimes Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

People ask what I've been up to lately
(Tell the truth Tell the truth)
Yeah I've been missing for a while
(I've been missing I've been missing)
Just getting high don't take it personal
(Oh no Oh no)
When I calm down you will be the first to know
(Oh no Oh no)
But I never coming
I never coming




But I never coming
I never coming

Overall Meaning

In the song "People" by Ground Up - 1711 featuring Marty Grimes, the lyrics talk about the singer missing for a while and people asking about their whereabouts. They admit to getting high but don't want anyone to take it personally. They promise to let everyone know when they "calm down" but also never seem to be coming back. The repetition of "I never coming" shows that the singer seems to have accepted the fact that they might not be able to change their ways even if they wanted to.


The lyrics appear to be about someone struggling with addiction or mental health issues. They feel guilty for being absent from people's lives but don't want anyone to judge them for their coping mechanisms. The line "When I calm down you will be the first to know" might suggest that the singer is aware that they have to get better and wants to keep their loved ones in the loop. However, the repetition of "I never coming" portrays a hint of hopelessness and resignation.


Overall, the song tackles a heavy subject matter of addiction and mental health in a raw and honest way. The singer feels like they are letting people down but can't seem to change their ways easily. It's a relatable theme for many people who have had to struggle with their demons and the guilt associated with letting their loved ones down.
