HeartScar feat. Baggie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Everybody telling me i gotta come around
And baby i don't want to let you down
Everybody telling me i gotta come around
I've been feeling numb
I've been feeling stressed out
I've been popping too many percs
I just wanna be alone again
Alone again
Spent too many nights in my room
I don't want to pick and choose
Which drugs i do tonight
I might just od in my room
I'm starting to lose my focus
I need some help
Oh no i am hopeless
Some people looking at me have start to notice
My head is spinning
Oh wait that's a bonus
And baby i don't want to let you down
Everybody telling me i gotta come around
I've been feeling numb
I've been feeling stressed out
And baby i don't want to let you down
Everybody telling me i gotta come around
I've been feeling numb
I've been feeling stressed out
You know i don't wanna let you down
Baby your the queen
But you gon' and lost your crown
You think you own me and the whole town
Well you don't so you can sit back down
See i don't even wanna come around
Saying loads of stuff but you only making sound
You ain't no god
Both feet upon the ground
You are not worth it
You only worth a pound
But baby i don't want to let you down
Cause baby i don't want you down
Cause baby i don't want you down
I'm stressed out
I'm stressed out
And baby i don't want to let you down
Everybody telling me i gotta come around
I've been feeling numb
I've been feeling stressed out
And baby i don't want to let you down
Everybody telling me i gotta come around
The lyrics of HeartScar feat. Baggie's song Let Down explores the internal struggles of the singer. The singer wants to be there for their loved ones, but they are feeling exhausted from the pressure of trying to please everyone. The refrain "And baby I don't want to let you down, everybody telling me I gotta come around" demonstrates this desire to make those around them happy, but at the same time acknowledges that the singer's mental health is suffering. The verses explore the singer's self-destructive tendencies, such as taking drugs to cope with their feelings of isolation and loneliness. The line "I might just OD in my room" shows the singer's thought process, revealing their fragile state of mind. The singer is struggling to maintain their composure and focus, and they acknowledge that they need help. However, they paint themselves as "hopeless" and feel like they can't change their situation.
The second half of the song changes direction, with a new speaker addressing a former lover. The tone becomes more aggressive and confrontational, with lines like "You think you own me and the whole town, well you don't so you can sit back down." The singer is expressing their frustration and anger, possibly because they feel that this person has contributed to their current state of mind. They end by bringing the focus back to themselves, repeating "And baby I don't want to let you down" as if trying to convince themselves of that fact.
Overall, the lyrics of Let Down are a powerful exploration of mental health struggles and the toll that they can take on a person's relationships and sense of self-worth.
