Baby Boy
Kevin Abstract Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And every truth that I discover feels so false
And every mountain that I climb that seems so tall
It only felt that way 'cause the valley was so small
Excuse me while I cry
At this point you're pretty much out of my mind
But when I close my eyes I think about you every time
But when I close my eyes I think about you every time
Spent my days alone
When God left me all alone
He's all I got
He's all I got
I should let him know
How much I need him now
He's all I got
He's all I got
Somethin' is missing now
I need to find the right way to your house
Head lights pointed at the dawn, dawn
Stuck in the mosh pit, lost my crowd
Somethin' is missing now
I need to find the right way to your house
Head lights pointed at the dawn, dawn
Stuck in the mosh pit, lost my crowd
At this point you're pretty much out of my mind
But when I close my eyes I think about you every time
At this point you're pretty much out of my mind
But when I close my eyes I think about you every time
Tell me if I'm in the right here
You know we belong here
You know that I'm sincere, always (always)
Why am I outside your hotel?
I'd rather you hold me
That's what you told me
Trying, trying, trying
(Oh)
Trying (ooh), trying (ooh), trying
Kevin Abstract's “Baby Boy” is a deeply emotional and introspective song that explores themes of loneliness, self-discovery, and lost love. In the opening lines of the song, he confesses that every time he thinks he has found himself, he feels lost, and every truth he discovers seems false. He then talks about how the obstacles in his life seem insurmountable and only manageable because of the smallness of the valley he's in. The bridge of the song features the titular line, “excuse me while I cry,” signifying the emotional burden he's carrying.
The chorus of the song is a reflection of Kevin Abstract's struggle with lost love. He admits that while his former love is out of his mind, she still occupies his thoughts when he closes his eyes. The lines are a somber reminder of the love lost and the haunting memories that come with it.
The second verse of Baby Boy touches on feelings of abandonment and the search for solace. The singer talks about spending days alone, and this is followed by a reference to the Christian faith. He refers to God as all he's got, and he needed to tell God how much he needs Him. The song then shifts to a focus on lost love, as Kevin Abstract struggles to find the right way to his lover's house, and is lost in the mosh pit of crowds.

Every time I find myself I feel so lost
I feel lost every time I see myself.
And every truth that I discover feels so false
Every truth that I find seems wrong to me.
And every mountain that I climb that seems so tall
The mountains I climb feel too high for me.
It only felt that way 'cause the valley was so small
The mountains only seemed tall because the valley was so shallow.
Excuse me while I cry
I'm sorry for crying.
At this point you're pretty much out of my mind
At present, you are not in my thoughts much.
But when I close my eyes I think about you every time
However, I still think of you whenever I close my eyes.
Spent my days alone
I spent my days by myself.
When God left me all alone
When God left me alone.
He's all I got
He is everything I have.
I should let him know
I should inform him.
How much I need him now
I must express how much I need him now.
Somethin' is missing now
Something isn't right now.
I need to find the right way to your house
I must locate the correct route to your abode.
Headlights pointed at the dawn, dawn
The headlights are directed towards the dawn, dawn.
Stuck in the mosh pit, lost my crowd
I am caught in the mosh pit, losing my audience.
Tell me if I'm in the right here
Let me know if I'm in the correct place.
You know we belong here
You know we should be here.
You know that I'm sincere, always (always)
You know I'm always sincere.
Why am I outside your hotel?
Why am I outside your hotel room?
I'd rather you hold me
I'd prefer it if you held me.
That's what you told me
That's what you said.
Trying, trying, trying
Attempting, attempting, attempting.
(Oh)
Trying (ooh), trying (ooh), trying
Attempting, attempting, attempting.

Everytime I find myself I feel so lost
And every truth that I discover feels so false
And every mountain that I climb that seems so tall
It only felt that way 'cause the valley was so small
Excuse me while-
At this point you're pretty much out of my mind
But when I close my eyes I think about you every time
At this point you're pretty much out of my mind
But when I close my eyes I think about you every time
Spent my days alone, one guy left me all alone
He's all I got, he's all I got
I should never know how much I need him now
He's all I got, he's all I got
Somethin' is missing now, I need to find the right way to your house
Had lights pointed at the dawn, dawn
Stuck in the mosh pit, lost my crowd
