Friends
Julius Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Another losing streak
(So sick and tired)
No better than I did last week
(Plan backfired)
What do they see in me
(So sad and lonely)
A helpless undeserving king
My friends all saying they are at my side
Believing things I thought were falsified
Oh all my friends are telling lies again
They testify, cross hearts and hope to die
They're calling me all sorts of awesome things
And I just might believe them
My pride's a free for all
(Battle royal)
A daily landslide, failed trust fall
(Daddy catch me)
Do you really enjoy
(Always laughing)
Or is this just another ploy
My friends all saying they are at my side
Believing things I thought were falsified
Oh all my friends are telling lies again
They testify, cross hearts and hope to die
They're calling me all sorts of awesome things
And I just might believe them
Always lying, in denial
Liquidating self-love
Oh all my friends are telling lies again
They testify, cross hearts and hope to die
They're calling me all sorts of awesome things
And I just might believe them
All my friends are telling lies again
They testify, cross hearts and hope to die
They're calling me all sorts of awesome things
And I just might believe them




Believe them
Yeah

Overall Meaning

In "Friends," Julius expresses his feelings of frustration and exhaustion from constantly experiencing failure and disappointment in his life. He begins by acknowledging his losing streak and feeling worn out and tired. He reflects on how he hasn't made any progress from last week, and his plans have backfired. He questions why his friends continue to see something in him when he feels sad, lonely, and undeserving. He refers to himself as a helpless undeserving king, highlighting his low self-esteem.


Despite his doubts, Julius's friends claim to be by his side, supporting him fully and believing in things that he thought were false. However, he suspects that they might be lying again, as this has happened before. They make grand statements about him, calling him all sorts of awesome things, and he contemplates whether he should believe them. His pride becomes a battleground, where he experiences daily setbacks and fails to trust his friends' intentions. He wonders if they genuinely enjoy his company or if they're just pretending as part of another scheme.


The constant lies and denial from his friends start to eat away at Julius's self-love. He feels that they are liquidating or draining his sense of self-worth. The repetition of the chorus emphasizes his overwhelming frustration and the recurring pattern of deception. Julius contemplates whether he should continue to believe his friends and their flattering lies or if he should question their authenticity.


Ultimately, the song highlights Julius's vulnerability as he struggles to navigate his relationships and decipher the truth from his friends' declarations. He confronts the impact their lies have had on his self-perception and wonders if he should still have faith in their words. The lyrics capture the internal conflict and emotional turmoil experienced when the lines between truth and fiction blur within friendships.
