Let it Kill You
Imani Coppola Lyrics

Well you got no friends and you're always alone
You lack companionship and are frequently isolated from social activity

But you've got twenty missed calls on your cellular phone
Although you may be alone, you are not completely disconnected from the world, as evidenced by the numerous missed calls

If you're constantly out to lunch you're gonna choke on a bone (choke on a bone)
If you are frequently unfocused or distracted, you may encounter difficulties or fail spectacularly

You're never sick but you always feel ill
You may not be physically unwell, but you experience a sense of malaise or discomfort

You got a belly full of honey and a pocket full of pills
You have indulged in pleasures and distractions that may not be entirely beneficial to your wellbeing

If you're living in your own world eventually you'll die alone
If you fail to engage with the outside world, you may be isolated and alone when the time comes

Save your talk for the dollar store, no bargaining with it
Your words hold minimal value and cannot be used to make exchanges or negotiations

Your breath is something whiskey and your words are just spit
You may have indulged in excessive alcohol consumption, causing your breath to smell like whiskey, and your words may lack substance or weight

You've got a hollow leg and the rest of you is full of shit
You may have a high tolerance for alcohol, but your personality and behaviors are lacking or subpar

You can't get enough cause you're a bottomless pit
You have a tendency to consume or indulge excessively, as if you have an insatiable appetite

You're a fly in a pigsty, wallowing in it
You are surrounded by filth or unpleasantness, yet you choose to remain in that situation

If you swallow that bug in your drink you think you'll get
You may attempt to justify or rationalize poor decisions or actions, even when they have negative consequences

It's gonna be a long way home So I'm gonna rock the microphone
Although the journey may be difficult or lengthy, the singer will persevere and continue to perform or create music

You try to make it go away with tough medication
You may use medication or other means to address your problems, but the root cause remains unaddressed

But oblivious to the world is such an odd sensation
Although you may attempt to escape reality or avoid certain situations, it can create a strange or uncomfortable feeling

If you're living in a bubble then you're gonna die of suffocation
If you isolate yourself from the world or refuse to engage with it, you may face negative consequences such as being stifled or suffocated

Are you gonna give it up? Are you gonna let it go?
The artist challenges the audience to consider whether they will continue with their harmful behaviors and choices or pursue positive change

You can enter the rest of the world cause every body knows
You have the capability to engage with others and become a part of the world around you, as it is a widely recognized fact

That you're happy when you're high and you're crappy when you're feeling low
You may experience temporary euphoria or pleasure from substance abuse, but it often leads to negative effects such as feelings of depression or lethargy

But if you like it, let it kill you
The artist suggest that if you derive pleasure or benefit from a harmful activity or behavior, you may continue doing so without regard for potential harm

It's gonna be a long way home (x2)
Despite the challenges and struggles, the journey home will be completed eventually
