Paradigm
HKFiftyOne Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I spend my nights just thinking
How I been finessing
I pile these stacks and racks but
You don't wanna text me
I wanna make you proud and flex all
This shit that I got but
You don't wanna talk to me you
Don't even know what you need

I'm getting all these DMs for a feature
Yeah i'm getting the word out
Just like a preacher, yeah
Everybody treat me like a teacher, yeah
You learn from me if you ain't a sleeper
Yeah

My PayPal blowing up
You know I'm glowing up
My guap just keep on piling
Every day it's going up
You know it's not enough
I cannot rise above

This sadness is killing me and
I think I've had enough
I get so fed up with the
Same shit all the time
I keep repeating what I say
And the same rhymes
I get stuck living in the same day every time
You ripped my heart out and it
Hurt but that's my paradigm

You made me so numb my
Bony knees and tired eyes will never go away
You made me so numb I ain't
Got no Real Friends you remind me everyday

I lost my motivation but I swear I'll try
If you be my star then I
Guess I'll be your sky
You never give me nothing back
I don't know why
I gave you everything you need
So you could shine

Tryna fill a void just like a canyon
I'm getting all this guap with no companion
I feel just like I'm lost inside a mansion
This money don't mean nothing
With no passion

I ain't scared to tell you what I think
Yeah so much effort tryna stay in sync, yeah
Push me to the edge I'm on the brink, yeah
Think I'm going crazy need a shrink, yeah

I ain't scared to tell you what I think
Yeah so much effort tryna stay in sync, yeah




Push me to the edge I'm on the brink, yeah
Think I'm going crazy need a shrink, yeah

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of HKFiftyOne's song "Paradigm" delve into the artist's thoughts, emotions, and experiences, as well as his ambition and struggles in the music industry. In the first verse, the artist reflects on his success and material wealth, but expresses frustration that the person he cares about doesn't acknowledge or appreciate him. Despite wanting to prove himself and impress this individual, they seem uninterested and unaware of what they truly need.


In the second verse, the artist discusses how his popularity and influence have grown, receiving offers for collaborations and becoming someone others look up to. He emphasizes that those who are not sleeping on him can learn from him. This success is also reflected in his financial situation, with his PayPal account "blowing up." However, even with the money piling up, it's never enough. The artist feels trapped in a cycle of dissatisfaction, where his sadness and lack of fulfillment persist, leaving him feeling worn out.


The chorus showcases the artist's emotional turmoil and vulnerability. The person he once trusted has left him feeling numb, with "bony knees and tired eyes." He feels alone, as he mentions not having any real friends who remind him of this emptiness daily. The loss of motivation is evident, though he promises to try and regain it. He likens himself to the sky and asks for this person to be his guiding star, but he questions why they never reciprocate his efforts.


In the final verse, the artist expresses his desire to fill an emotional void, comparing it to a canyon. Despite his financial success, he still feels lost and lacking passion. The money has lost its meaning without true connection and purpose. He communicates that he isn't afraid to speak his mind and share his thoughts. Yet, despite his efforts to remain in sync with those around him, the constant pressure pushes him to the edge. It feels like he's on the brink of losing his sanity and could benefit from seeking professional help (a shrink) to navigate his mental state. The repetition of this verse reinforces the intensity of his emotions and the urgency for understanding and support.
