Life is a mess ft Halsey
Juice WRLD Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Have you ever fallen head over heels for somebody?
Not just somebody
No, no
(Rex, you did again)

Have you fallen head over heels for somebody
That made promises to give you the world? Um
I really hope they held you down
I really hope it was no lying
'Cause my heart breaks, it feels like the world's gone
But if the love's real, you'd feel your soul roar like a lion
And you'd finally let bygones be bygones
Don't throw in the towel, I know it feels like you're the only one trying
You just gotta learn to live and love on

I belong with the one put on this Earth for me
Everybody has their someone, just gotta look and see
I'm screaming out, "Lord, help me, I've been lonely"
That's when you accept me, then you set me free

Uh, sometimes life's a mess
I get high when I'm upset
I remember when me and love didn't click
Searching for somethin' real then I found it
Uh, sometimes life's a mess
Yeah, I get high when I'm upset
I remember when me and love ain't click
Looking for somethin' real then I found it

Can't put you fucking back, well it's better now
Through the trials and tribulations, I found my way out
Feel all of the good and bad vibrations all around
All around us, they surround us
Was a lost cause with some lost love
It ain't my fault, pain chose us
Then I found her
My whole world turned upside down, uh
But for the better

I belong with the one put on this Earth for me
Everybody has their someone, just gotta look and see

Uh, sometimes life's a mess
Yeah, I get high when I'm upset
I remember when me and love ain't click
Looking for somethin' real, then I found it

(Uh, uh, uh, uh)
(Uh, uh, uh, uh)

Thank God I finally found you
You put the light in my eyes when I'm around you
I'm too flawed to hold you down, but
Don't wanna be here alone
And I thank God I finally found you
I'll put the light in your eyes if I'm allowed to




I'm too flawed to hold you down, but
Don't let me be here alone

Overall Meaning

In the song "Life's A Mess," Juice WRLD sings about falling deeply in love with someone who promised to give him everything. He hopes that their promises were true because his heart breaks when he thinks of losing them. However, if the love is real, his soul will be full of strength, and he'll be able to move forward. He urges his listeners not to give up and to continue to love and live on.


The chorus of "Life's A Mess" repeats the phrase "sometimes life's a mess," which serves as a reminder that even in the darkest moments, there is still hope for something better. Juice WRLD acknowledges that life can be hard and that sometimes he turns to drugs for comfort, but he also realizes the importance of finding love and something real to help him get through the tough times.


One interesting fact about the song is that it was released posthumously after Juice WRLD's untimely death at the age of 21. The song features fellow rapper Halsey, who is also known for her poetic lyrics in her songs. Another interesting fact is that the song's music video features a trippy and psychedelic animation that adds to the song's dreamy and melancholic vibe.

And I thank God I finally found you
I'm thankful every day for the love we share.


I'll put the light in your eyes if I'm allowed to
I want to bring her the same joy she brings me.


Don't let me be here alone

Have you ever fallen head over heels for somebody

[Chorus: Juice WRLD]
Uh, sometimes life's a mess
Uh, I get high when I'm upset

Searchin' for somethin' real, then I found it
Uh, sometimes life's a mess
Yeah, I get high when I'm upset
I remember when me and love ain't click
Lookin' for somethin' real, then I found it

[Verse 2: Juice WRLD]
Been pretty fuckin' bad, but it's better now
Through the trials and tribulations, I found my way out
Feel all of the good and bad vibrations all around
All around us, they surround us
Was a lost cause with some lost love
It ain't my fault, pain chose us
Then I found her
My whole world turned upside down, uh
But for the better

[Pre-Chorus: Juice WRLD]
I belong with the one put on this Earth for me
Everybody has their someone, just gotta look and see

Yeah, I get high when I'm upset
I remember when me and love ain't click
Lookin' for somethin' real, then I found it

[Outro: Halsey]
Thank God I finally found you
You put the light in my eyes when I'm around you
I'm too flawed to hold you down, but
Don't wanna be here alone
And I thank God I finally found you
I'll put the light in your eyes if I'm allowed to
I'm too flawed to hold you down, but
Don't let me be here alone
