Alone
IDK Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Pick up your face from off the floor
Ditch all the hate your heart controls
That's just the basic part I know (hey)
And if you don't fuck with me (hey)
Here's some advice to off the load (hey)
Hide all your friends and all your hoes (hey)
They might just leave you all alone (hey)
I'm tryna get my hand up on the situation (the people)
Together we get heated like I'm huggin' Satan (the people)
I'm busy tryna figure out the path I'm taking (the people)
So I ain't got the time for all the gossip hating
Fossil fuel gassin' up your car
Ain't enough to take you very far, very, very far
So while you at the bottom tryna worry 'bout what I got, I got
I'll be high, reaching for the stars
If you don't like me (hey)
Pick up your face from off the floor (hey)
Ditch all the hate your heart controls (hey)
That's just the basic part I know (hey)
And if you don't fuck with me (hey)
Here's some advice to off the load (hey)
Hide all your friends and all your hoes (hey)
They might just leave you all alone (hey)
All alone
I auto parallel park my new Beamer
As I reminisce when my teacher told me I would never know shit
Since I used to be a daydreamer
It's funny how the shit I dreamt about is the shit I'm livin' now
And all the math that I was supposed to learn isn't needed
So I'm like "Dear teacher, suck my penis"
They say that everything happens for a reason
Well my life's the definition, I'm the meaning
If you don't like me
Pick up your face from off the floor (hey)
Ditch all the hate your heart controls (hey)
That's just the basic part I know (hey)
And if you don't fuck with me (hey)
Here's some advice to off the load (hey)
Hide all your friends and all your hoes (hey)
They might just leave you all alone (hey)
All alone (all alone, the people)
(Hey-hey-hey, the people)
(Hey-hey-hey-hey-hey-hey, the people)
(Hey-hey-hey, the people)
(Hey-hey-hey-hey-hey-hey-hey-hey)
In these lyrics, IDK is addressing those who don't like him or don't support him. He starts by suggesting that if someone doesn't like him, they should pick themselves up off the floor and let go of the negative emotions that control their heart. He sees this as just the basic understanding he has of the situation. He advises those who don't fuck with him to hide their friends and romantic interests because they might end up being left all alone.
He then shifts the focus to himself, discussing how he is trying to navigate his own path and deal with the people around him. He compares the intensity of his interactions with people to hugging Satan, implying that it can be tumultuous and heated. Despite this, he is focused on figuring out the direction he wants to take in life, so he doesn't have time for gossip or hate. He uses the metaphor of fossil fuel being insufficient to take someone far to emphasize that worrying about his success won't get them anywhere. While they're busy at the bottom, he'll be reaching for the stars.
IDK reflects on his journey from being told by a teacher that he wouldn't know anything to living the life he once dreamt about. He suggests that the knowledge he was supposed to acquire in school is not necessary for his current success. He cheekily tells his teacher to suck his penis, indicating his defiance and confidence in proving them wrong. He believes that his life is proof that everything happens for a reason, and he is the embodiment of that meaning.
Overall, these lyrics convey IDK's defiance and self-assurance in the face of negativity and doubt. He encourages those who don't like him to let go of hate and focus on their own paths. He uses his own experiences to illustrate the idea that success and purpose are not determined by others' opinions or traditional expectations.
