Fever
K Flay Lyrics

I doubt that this is love
The singer is uncertain if her feelings are truly love.

But I don't got enough of it
Despite her doubts, the singer desires more love in her life.

A fever when it comes
Love feels intense and overwhelming when she experiences it.

A fever when it doesn't hit
The absence of love feels just as intense and overwhelming as its presence.

I got a couple hundred dollars, but nobody to call
The artist has money but lacks meaningful relationships.

Blacked out, lit up, no sleep in my system
The singer has been drinking, using drugs, and not sleeping well.

Misspelled my own name, passwords well I guessed em
The singer is experiencing cognitive impairment from substance use and exhaustion.

Maxims, well I test em, bedroom just closing in
The artist is feeling trapped and questioning her beliefs and self-imposed limitations.

Yesterday's too distant, write it down so I don't forget
The artist wants to remember past experiences and emotions in order to make sense of her present state.

Swear if I spill it I'll make sure to save it up off the carpet I plan to be taking off
The artist is anticipating making changes to her life and is careful not to waste any resources.

Indigo shades, windows all tinted
The singer is driving in a car with blue-tinted windows.

It's just a phase that maybe I'll finish
The artist is experiencing a temporary state of being and hopes to move on from it.

Went from minimum wage to maybe no limit
The singer has experienced a significant increase in financial status.

I'm just afraid that my cynical ways might mean that I won't be ending the sentence
The singer worries that her negative attitude may limit her potential for happiness and fulfillment.

Feeling more like suffering
The singer is experiencing emotional pain that feels like a burden.

Cause even when it comes
Even when the artist experiences love, it is still difficult for her.

And even when it doesn't hit
Even when the artist does not experience love, it is still difficult for her.

Guess I'll be blowing it all
The singer intends to spend all of her money recklessly.

White teeth, real gold, head spinning like real slow
The singer is describing someone who has an attractive smile and expensive possessions but is moving slowly, possibly from being under the influence.

Wake me up at 10, 20s in my billfold
The artist is referencing having twenty-dollar bills in her wallet and wants to be woken up at a specific time.

Got me with that steel toe, should have known there's a price to pay
The artist has been hurt by someone and realizes she should have been more cautious.

Might be why I feel so fucked up like any time of day
The artist is feeling emotionally and mentally distressed because of this hurtful experience.

Asking me about how I've been, said fine but I'm unsure
People are asking how the singer is, but she is not confident in her response.

Next line on the curb, you could say that that's desperate
The artist is considering calling someone but recognizes it might be seen as desperate.

But panic been seizing my chest, I've been pressed to the ceiling, I'm needing a sedative
The singer is experiencing intense anxiety and needs medication to calm down.

Spinning in place, wanting a respite
The singer feels stuck in her current state and desires relief.

Point that I break, not gonna respect it
The singer is worried she is reaching a breaking point and fears her actions may be reckless or self-destructive.

Yeah I'm in LA, but my mind is in Texas
The artist is physically in one place but mentally preoccupied with something else.

Like fuck it but what can I say when nothing remains out of the question
The artist feels helpless and unable to influence her circumstances or future.
