Lil Peep was described as a "SoundCloud rapper", and his musical style is considered lo-fi rap or emo-trap. The New York Times defined Åhr as the Kurt Cobain of lo-fi rap and described his music as gloomy and diabolically melodic. Åhr's music generally draws on both southern US rap and the angsty introspection of the rock subgenre post-hardcore.
In 2015, Åhr released his first mixtape, Lil Peep Part One, which generated 4,000 plays in its first week. Shortly thereafter, he released his first extended play, Feelz, and another mixtape, Live Forever. In 2016, Åhr released two seminal mixtapes, Crybaby and Hellboy.
I've Been Waiting
LIL PEEP Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've been waiting (I've been waiting)
I've been waiting up
'Cause I can't get enough, oh
I feel I'm fading (yeah)
When I fall apart
Your needle sews my heart, oh
Fuck me up and make me just go crazy
Addicted to the pain that you just made me love
I'm fiendin' for your touchin' on the daily
You're the only one that I want
Break my heart but don't tell me I'm not doin' fine
'Cause I'm doin' fine
Let me go, I'm spendin' time
Not doin' fine but I'm doin' fine
Why you actin' vain for my love, vain for my love
When you got everything that I want?
Why you actin' vain for my blood, vain for my blood
When you got everything that I want?
Why you actin'?
I've been dreamin' (uh)
Of your uniform
Your uniform of non-conformity
The tears, the tears
Tears aren't strong enough
The years aren't long enough, no
Fuck me up and make me just go crazy
Addicted to the pain that you just made me love (whoa, yeah)
I'm fiendin' for your touchin' on the daily
You're the only one that I want (yeah)
Break my heart but don't tell me I'm not doin' fine
'Cause I'm doin' fine
Let me go, I'm spendin' time
Not doin' fine but I'm doin' fine
Why you actin' vain for my love, vain for my love
When you got everything that I want?
Why you actin' vain for my blood, vain for my blood
When you got everything that I want?
Why you actin' vain?
It's hard to miss you
When you are always on the tip of my tongue, now
I feel like I'm looking for somethin'
Somethin' that'll never come
Call me when you're in the city again
My head just went oblivion
It's hard to miss you
When you are always on the tip of my tongue
(Always on the tip of my tongue)
And now the time is right, you wanna do me so wrong
Now the time is right, you wanna do me so wrong
When I've been waitin' (I've been waitin')
Long for you (long for you)
I wanna drink my wine, I wanna pass that by
I wanna make her cry, she wanna make me die
Apple pie, six cigarettes
And I'll catch the vibe that we can't forget
Why you actin' vain for my love, vain for my love
When you got everything that I want?
Why you actin' vain for my blood, vain for my blood
When you got everything that I want?
Why you actin' vain?
It's hard to miss you
When you are always on the tip of my tongue
I feel like I'm looking for somethin'
Somethin' that'll never come
I'll be waiting (I'll be waiting)
Oh, for you (I'll be waiting) (for you)
And now the time is right, you wanna do me so wrong (I'll be waiting)
And now the time is right, you wanna do me so wrong (for you)
The song "I've Been Waiting" is a collaboration between Lil Peep, the late emo-rap artist, and iLoveMakonnen, an Atlanta-based rapper and singer. The song is characterized by its upbeat melody and bouncy rhythm, which contrast with the somber and melancholic lyrics. The song is about a tumultuous, addictive and codependent relationship between two people who cannot let go of each other, even though they know their love isn't healthy. The lyrics describe the singer's addiction to the pain that his lover causes him and his craving for her touch.
The song features Lil Peep's signature emo-rap style, which blends elements of trap and indie rock with confessional and introspective lyrics. The song's catchy chorus "Why you acting vain for my love, vain for my love, when you got everything that I want?" captures the emotional turmoil of the relationship, where one partner is vain and selfish, while the other partner is vulnerable and desperate for love. The song's bridge "It's hard to miss you, when you are always on the tip of my tongue," is a testament to the singer's inability to let go of his lover, and even though she's not around, she's always in his thoughts.
