LIL PEEP Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
(Blow and I'm fine)
(You're wasting your time, wasting your time)
(Please don't cry)
Sixteen lines of blow and I'm fine
Break my bones but act as my spine
Wonder who you'll fuck when I die
Please don't cry, you're wasting your time
Sixteen lines to make me feel fine
Ten years ago, went blind
I been on my own since age nine
Sixteen lines of blow and I'm fine
Break my bones but act as my spine
I wonder who you'll fuck when I die
And if I tried to call, would you cry?
Please don't cry, you're wasting your time
Sixteen lines to make me feel fine
Ten years ago, went blind
I been on my own since age nine
I been on my own for two nights
I been in my zone, I've been high
Now she wonder why do I lie
I can't tell my wrongs from my rights
Is anybody out there? (Is anybody out there?)
Can anybody hear me? (Can anybody hear me?)
I hate it when you fake care (hate it when you fake care)
Girl, I know you hear me (girl, I know you hear me)
Is anybody out there? (Is anybody out there?)
Can anybody hear me? (Can anybody hear me?)
I hate it when you fake care (fake care)
Girl, I know you hear me
Sixteen lines of blow and I'm fine
Break my bones but act as my spine
I wonder who you'll fuck when I die
And if I tried to call, would you cry?
Please don't cry, you're wasting your time
Sixteen lines to make me feel fine
Ten years ago, went blind
I been on my own since age nine
Is anybody out there? (Is anybody out there?)
Can anybody hear me? (Can anybody hear me?)
I hate it when you fake care (fake care)
Girl, I know you hear me (hear me)
In "16 Lines," Lil Peep addresses themes of addiction, loneliness, and death. He describes the effects of consuming sixteen lines of blow (cocaine) and how it makes him feel fine. He also suggests that he depends on the drug to act as a spine that holds him up. The song is directed at a woman who he believes would move on and find someone else to sleep with if he were to die. Lil Peep questions whether this woman would truly be upset if he were to call her. He also expresses frustration with people who pretend to care about him when they really don't. He implies that he has been alone for much of his life since he was on his own from the age of nine and went blind ten years prior to the song's writing. The song's chorus repeats the same lyrics, which serve as an emotional plea or call for someone to hear him.
The lyrics reveal the emotional turmoil of Lil Peep and the struggles he faced concerning his addiction to cocaine. The song’s lyrics suggest the numbness and emotional escapism that drug use provides, which makes him feel fine. It also reveals the loneliness Lil Peep experienced in his life, which apparently pushed him towards drug use. Lil Peep is calling out people who pretend to care about him while he is struggling. Wishing for someone to hear and understand him, he feels alone and is asking for help.
