Dying
LIL PEEP Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

(Ch-Charlie Shuffler)

All this stress
Look at this mess
Look at my head, I'm better off dead
Dyin' out west
Tryin' my best
Layin' in bed, I was comin' down then
No more pain, locked away
I go insane
I'm so insane
In my brain everyday, I go insane
I'm so insane
Leave me alone tonight, I'm good on my own tonight
I'm on the road tonight
I'm goin' home tonight
Leave me alone tonight, I'm good on my own tonight
I'm on the road tonight
I'm goin' home tonight

Look in the mirror
I see a demon, I'm barely breathing
My shadow is bleeding
On the highway, baby, I'm speeding
I'm leavin' the city, you should be with me
Two weeks with the same old jeans on
I know you wanna die, baby, this is your theme song
Like a switchblade, baby, just hold on
Like a switchblade, baby, just hold on

All this stress
Look at this mess
Look at my head, I'm better off dead
Dyin' out west
Tryin' my best
Layin' in bed, I was comin' down then
No more pain, locked away
I go insane
I'm so insane
In my brain everyday, I go insane
I'm so insane
Leave me alone tonight, I'm good on my own tonight
I'm on the road tonight
I'm goin' home tonight
Leave me alone tonight, I'm good on my own tonight




I'm on the road tonight
I'm goin' home tonight

Overall Meaning

The song "Dying in 2-3" by Lil Peep starts off with the artist expressing his emotions of being stressed out and in a mess, and feeling like he would be better off dead. He then talks about being in the west and trying his best, but still feeling drained and coming down from a high. He wishes to be left alone as he goes through his inner turmoil, and he voices his desire to go home as he is on the road.


The chorus repeats the sentiments expressed in the beginning, with the artist feeling overwhelmed with stress and pain and struggling with his mental health. However, he also acknowledges that he is going insane and that he needs to be left alone.


In the second verse, the artist sees himself as a demon in the mirror and struggles to breathe. His shadow is bleeding, representing the darkness that he feels inside. He wants to leave the city and be with someone he cares about. He then references the theme of the song, implying that someone out there may relate to his struggle and want to die as well. But he urges them to hold on like a switchblade, indicating that there is still hope to cling on to.
