Part Of Me
Healy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Driving home at midnight with my head up out the roof
I'm thinking, living in the heights has kinda changed my point of view, yeah
Part of me wholeheartedly thinks eternity will do
I'd rather die

Yeah
Minutes turn to millions (millions)
I might (I might just)
Live a decade in a day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day-day
Mm, yeah
A mile for every memory that's keeping me in place
(Keeping me at bay-bay-bay-bay-bay-bay-bay-bay-bay)

I been walking into walls all week (walls all week, yeah)
I got missed called on me, yeah (they on me)
Why everything fall on me? (On me)
And lately it's been hard for me to relate

Life's just out of my reach (outta my reach, ayy)
Old friends feeling like keepsakes (feeling like keepsakes)
Midnight ride, light leaks (light leaks, yeah)
"24's floating down the freeway (floating down the freeway)

Driving home at midnight with my head up out the roof
I'm thinking, living in the heights has kinda changed my point of view, yeah
Part of me wholeheartedly thinks eternity will do
I'd rather die, twenty-five

And I been, eighty on the interstate (eighty on the interstate)
Gaining on a getaway (gaining on a getaway)
Crazy how quick you change (quick you change)
Used to want the symmetry, but now I think it's bending me (me)
Out of shape
Pushing through the window pain 'til I'm out of state
Yeah, I-65 I'm just biding my time
Got new energy still my worst enemy
Same me, new energy, still my worst enemy

Driving home at midnight with my head up out the roof
I'm thinking, living in the heights has kinda changed my point of view, yeah




Part of me wholeheartedly thinks eternity will do
I'd rather die, twenty-five, in LA knowing you

Overall Meaning

In "Part of Me," Healy appears to be reflecting on his life as he drives home at midnight. He notes that living in the heights, likely a metaphor for his personal success, has changed his worldview. He acknowledges that part of him is optimistic that eternity will be good for him, but then he says, "I'd rather die" - this seems to be an acknowledgement that he feels disconnected from the good things in life he's experiencing.


The song portrays a sense of disconnect from the world around him. Healy finds it difficult to relate to others and feels like life is out of his reach. The line "Old friends feeling like keepsakes" suggests that he feels like he's outgrowing things and people that used to be important to him. As he drives, he contemplates his own mortality, noting that 25 is a better age to die than to continue living in a way that doesn't make him happy.


Throughout the song, Healy uses repetition and imagery to create a sense of being lost and disconnected. The use of a driving metaphor - with Healy speeding down the freeway and feeling like he's "biding his time" - reinforces this feeling of being untethered from the world around him.
