Juice WRLD Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I figured she was gonna break my heart regardless
So I took her out and dumped her in the garbage
The stupid bitch done turned herself into a target
Click, clack
She was gonna break my heart regardless
So I took her out and dumped her in the garbage
Just for talkin' nonsense, claiming she was leavin'
Not gonna happen
If I can't have you, no one can
'Cause if you leave, I'm not breathin'
I'll show you how it feels not to breathe, breathe
Inhale, exhale
You're the best, well
You're the worst, but
You're the best, hell
I ain't ever, ever gonna lose, lose
Tell me what I gotta do to prove to you
Five seconds from losing my head
Now it's time to show you what lunatics do
She was gonna break my heart regardless
So I took her out and dumped her in the garbage
The stupid bitch done turned herself into a target (Yeah)
Just for talkin' nonsense, claiming she was leavin'
I figured she was gonna break my heart regardless
So I took her out and dumped her in the garbage
The stupid bitch done turned herself into a target (Yeah)
Just for talkin' nonsense, claiming she was leavin'
Hey, where you tease?
Where you think you're goin'? When you comin' back to me?
You walked in, I'm listening to "Stan" on E, yeah, ecstacy
Matter of fact there's a bridge that my car wants to meet
Road trip on me, it'll be fun, you'll see
But you don't gotta sit in the trunk, you can sit next to me
Me and Stan, we alike, but he ain't nicer than me
He was drunk drivin', me, I'm just straight Perc-ules
My crazy thoughts and your crazy heart
'Cause we hit the bridge, that's just the start
Not afraid to die, as you can see
Life isn't real, love's make believe
My crazy thoughts and your crazy heart
'Cause we hit the bridge, that's just the start
Not afraid to die, as you can see
Life isn't real, love's make believe
The song "Make Believe" by Juice WRLD is a heartbreaking song where the rapper talks about his mistrust and frustration towards his significant other. The main theme of the song revolves around a toxic relationship where the two people involved are unable to express their true feelings for each other. Juice WRLD believes that his partner is eventually going to break his heart; therefore, he takes preemptive action by taking her out and dumping her in the garbage. He is angry that she has turned her love into hate for no reason; this leads him to contemplate harming her.
Throughout the song, Juice WRLD displays his emotions vividly. He is unable to understand why his partner is talking nonsense and making empty claims. Despite knowing that he is going to lose her, he is unwilling to let go because he would rather have her under any circumstances than see her with someone else. He is so invested in the relationship that the thought of losing her causes him to feel suffocated; he would rather have her suffer the same fate. Towards the end of the song, Juice WRLD and his partner embark on a road trip which leads them to a bridge. There, they both express their desire to die together, highlighting their mental instability.
Overall, "Make Believe" is a deep song that discusses heartbreak and toxic relationships. It shows how even when a person knows that they will ultimately feel betrayed, they still pursue that relationship in fear of losing their loved one. It portrays the mental state of a person who is severely depressed and unable to form a regular relationship.
