Hellboy
LIL PEEP Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Can this be him?
The one I have waited centuries to see?
How strange
So far from his path that I barely see the promise of glory
Can this be him, this Hellboy?

You don't even know what I've been through (what I've been through)
You don't gotta like me, ya bitch do (bitch do)
Blowin' up my phone like, "I miss you" (like I miss you)
You know I love you by the way that I kiss you
You don't even know what I've been through (what I've been through)
You don't gotta like me, ya bitch do (bitch do)
Blowin' up my phone like, "I miss you" (like I miss you)
You know I love you by the way that I kiss you

Leave me to bleed, I know I got you on your knees
But somethin' keeps on tellin' me
It keeps on tellin' me
Peep, leave it alone, I'm good on my own
Mama miss me at home, but I'm good on my own
Baby I'm cold, back on the road
Show after show, fuckin' ho after ho
I swear it gets so lonely sometimes
Please just hold me one time
Fuck these hoes and fuck life
I've been waitin' here all damn night
Not one call or text from you
You're the same as my ex, fuck you
Damn, bitch

You don't even know what I've been through (what I've been through)
You don't gotta like me, ya bitch do (bitch do)
Blowin' up my phone like, "I miss you" (like I miss you)
You know I love you by the way that I kiss you
You don't even know what I've been through (what I've been through)
You don't gotta like me, ya bitch do (bitch do)




Blowin' up my phone like, "I miss you" (like I miss you)
You know I love you by the way that I kiss you

Overall Meaning

The opening lines of LIL PEEP's "Hellboy" introduce a conversation between the singer and what appears to be an otherworldly entity. The entity questions whether or not the person in front of him is the same one he's been waiting centuries to see, and notes that they seem far from the path of glory. The line "Can this be him, this Hellboy?" suggests that the person in question might be a devil or a demon, but that interpretation is never fully confirmed or denied.


The rest of the lyrics tell a far more straightforward story of heartbreak and longing. LIL PEEP describes feeling lonely and lost while on tour, and laments the fact that the people he cares about the most are never there for him when he needs them. He expresses his frustration with the women who constantly blow up his phone and profess their love for him, even though they don't really know him or what he's been through. In the end, he seems resigned to his fate, acknowledging that he's cold and alone but refusing to let go of his dreams.


Overall, "Hellboy" is a hauntingly powerful song that juxtaposes supernatural imagery with painfully human emotions. It's a testament to LIL PEEP's ability to use his unique voice and perspective to create music that speaks to people in a deep and meaningful way.

If you die tonight, do you know where you're going? Did you know that Jesus Christ is THE Truth, the life and the only way to Heaven?
Revelation 20:15 ''Anyone whose name was not found written in the book of life was thrown into the lake of fire.''
Through Jesus Christ, God offers you a FREE gift – forgiveness. All you need to do is repent, turn away from your sins and evil ways,
from now on put your faith completely in Jesus Christ and be obedient to Him.

Biblical explanation of the Gospel:

God doesn’t want anybody in hell, but you must understand why
we deserve hell and why those who refuse to live under His authority will go
there. He gave us the law (Ten Commandments) not to make us righteous, but
rather to show us our sin (Romans 3:20). God gave us free will and since Adam
sinned in the garden, sin is the nature of our flesh and we ALL have sinned. (Romans 3:23)
The law demands death to those who sin (Romans 6:23). Since we have all sinned, we all deserve hell.
Revelation 21:8 says that all liars will go to hell. Yes, even if you have lied once in your life, you are sentenced to hell - that's how
high God's standards are of moral perfection because God is holy and righteous, there is not one sin in Him.
For someone to be justified before holy God they have to be sinless, that's why everyone need Jesus Christ
- for He lived a sinless life, died on the cross and rose from the dead on the third day.


None of us are good in God’s eyes, because for God good means moral perfection. We all
have broken God’s commandments, we all have sinned in our lives so none of us
are good. ‘’For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles at just one point is
guilty of breaking all of it.’’ (James 2:10). Our carnal mind is hostile to God; it does not submit
to God's moral law and it never will (Romans 8:7). We hate the thought of God for the same reason a criminal
hates a policeman - we know we have sinned against God and are guilty of it and we don't want to be damned.
No good works will ever save you. You can't earn salvation by good works, because God will judge us for our sin.

Good News is that Jesus Christ lived a perfect, holy, sinless life and He died for our sins according to the Scriptures,
He was buried and He was raised from the dead on the third day according to the Scriptures (1 Corinthians 15:3-4)
For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever
believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.’’ (John 3:16)
We aren’t saved by our good works, but only by the grace of God through faith in Christ.
''For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith - and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God -
not by works, so that no one can boast. (Ephesians 2:8-9)
Jesus said ‘’it is finished’’ (John 19:30) just before He died on the cross, which means He paid the fine for our sins
(past, present, future) to be forgiven only IF we repent and trust in Him.

This is how you can get saved from sin and hell - repent of your sins and trust in Jesus Christ. Get to know Him
by reading God's Word.
So if you sinful people know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him.” (Luke 11:13)


''What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? Certainly not!'' (Romans 6:15)
''Repent therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out'' (Acts 3:19)
Repentance is a turning away from sin and all evil works, and it always results in changed behavior (Luke 3:8).
Biblically, a person who repents does not continue willfully in sin.
While sorrow from sin is not equivalent to repentance, it is certainly an element of scriptural repentance (2 Corinthians 7:10).
Do not play a hypocrite. ''God is light; in Him there is no darkness at all.
If we claim to have fellowship with Him and yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live out the truth.'' (1 John 1:5-6)


(John 3:3) Jesus replied, "Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again."
If you have repented and have genuine faith in Jesus Christ then you will receive the gift of Holy Spirit and be born-again spiritually.
When you believed, you were marked in Him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance
until the redemption of those who are God’s possession - to the praise of His glory. (Ephesians 1:13-14)

Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life; whoever does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him. (John 3:36)


''You will know them by their fruits'' (Matthew 7)
If you have been truly born-again with the Holy Spirit and He has regenerated your heart, you will desire righteousnes -
to do what is good and righteous in God's eyes, to seek God everyday in His Word and prayer, to strengthen your relationship with God.
You will no longer desire to willfully continue living in sin but will want to obey God out of your love for Him because of His amazing grace
revealed to us through the death and resurrection of His Son.
''Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.'' (2 Corinthians 5:17)
''For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.'' (Eph 2:10)
You will have a testimony - of what your life had been before and how has it changed now when you have surrendered it to Lord Jesus Christ.


As a declaration and affirmation of your faith in Jesus Christ, get baptised in water because He commanded us to do so.
In John 3:5 Jesus answered, “Very truly I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless they are born of water and the Spirit.''
''Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit'' (Matthew 28:19)
''Those who accepted his message were baptized, and about three thousand were added to their number that day.'' (Acts 2:41)
''And this water symbolizes the baptism that now saves you also - not the removal of dirt from the body,
but the pledge of a clear conscience toward God - through the resurrection of Jesus Christ,'' (1 Peter 3:21)
''We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that,
just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life.'' (Romans 6:4)
''Having been buried with him in baptism, in which you were also raised with him through your faith in the working of God,
who raised him from the dead.'' (Colossians 2:12)


Please get right with God and get to know Jesus Christ personally today before it’s too late, because there’s not much time left!
"But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.’’ (Mark 13:32)
Get to know Christ through God's Word - Bible. At first I recommend reading Gospel of John and book of Romans. God bless you!

Jeremiah 29:13 - ''You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.''

@auranoir966

31 years old and only ever listened to heavy metal. Peep changed my whole view i dont like most other people in this genre but this guy was the fucking Gem. I would give anything to smoke a blunt with this guy even though im a decade older. Rest in power brother.

@Koodayengine

Thats why he had the tattoo DADDY, he was a rock god, lived fast died young as he planned, destroyed any metal band, linkin park, nirvana whatever band it was, and the meaning of what they sung about...pain, death, depression etc and Gustav brought it forward into 21st century with banging tunes you can play in your car, helping so many people of all ages because its all relatable to everyone, age means nothing you are still the same person as you were "a decade ago" time means nothing, when your 60 you will still listen to LIl PEEP, LIL PEEP is not for children, most children will not even know what he is singing about, this is how forward he was, he was singing in his teens like an old soul, or an old angel wanting to go back home.
