Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
They keep me up like every night
Enemy of my enemy
You know I'm always down to ride
I’m always bumpin' SESH
One day that's my set
Then it’s fuck the rest
So lay me down to rest
AaaaAaaa aaaaAaaa
AaaaAaaa aaaaAaaa
I don't really care where
My mind's gone now
Taking time these days, all the time I know
Could've been young today
But I made songs all day
Wish I could change my ways
Don't think I'll ever change
Wish I was understood i'm so misunderstood
Talking shit on me
I'll hit you up, what’s good
I don’t wanna live today
I don't think that will ever change
I’m so sick of everything
But I don't numb the pain cause I'm fine
I'm alright tonight
I’ll be fine
AaaaAaaa aaaaAaaa
AaaaAaaa aaaaAaaa
They said he was a youngblood
Couldn't take the pressure
Grab the pistol put it to his head
It's to depression then the gun jammed
And he thought about his actions
One more chance at life
That's what he wanted
That's what happened
So don't throw it away
I can see it in your face
You're a little like myself
We've been going through this hell
You think no one understands you
I really think that I do
Just give me your hand
I'm struggling right beside you
AaaaAaaa aaaaAaaa
AaaaAaaa aaaaAaaa
AaaaAaaa aaaaAaaa
AaaaAaaa aaaaAaaa
The lyrics of Rest in Pieces by Josh A & Jake Hill deal with various themes such as suicide, depression, and feeling misunderstood. The first stanza highlights the thoughts of suicide that keep the artist up every night. Despite feeling alone, the artist identifies with those who also have suicidal thoughts, describing them as the enemy of the enemy, and suggests that they can always ride together. The artist then makes reference to the music collective ‘SESH’ and how he listens to them constantly. He mentions that maybe one day he will be a part of the collective, but for now, he is only loyal to them. He then accepts his fate and asks to be laid down to rest.
In the following stanza, the artist seems to be reflecting on his life choices. He realizes that he could have done something else with his time, but instead, he chose to make music. He acknowledges that he wishes he could change his ways, but feels as though he never will. He also addresses the fact that he feels misunderstood and that people talk badly about him. Despite all of this, he is still willing to stand up for himself and hit back. The artist then reiterates his desire to die, but this time, he acknowledges that he won't numb the pain because he is fine. In the last verse, the artist tells a story about someone who attempted to commit suicide but failed due to a gun jamming. This serves to encourage those who are going through something similar to give life another chance as it could end up being the best decision they ever make. He offers a hand of support to them by saying that he understands their struggles and will be there with them.
