LIL PEEP Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Makin' me cry and pull out my gun
I'm gonna shoot this if you run
Blow my brains out just for fun
I can't sleep and I can't eat
The same old shoes still on my feet
Same old grass still on my lawn
But, it died since you've been gone
Hold on to me
I got one more question
Hold on for me
Did you learn your lesson?
Little Bo Peep
Been in the same old jeans
I'm in the same white tee that I wore last week
If she don't love me for my money
Then she love me for me
Baby, I've been gettin' money so it's easy to see
Every time I spend a hundred
She get somethin' for free
All my friends think I'm buggin'
And she ain't fuckin' with me
Got me thinkin' like it's nothin'
She ain't fuckin' with me
But she got me goin' crazy when she fuckin' on me, yeah
Hold on to me
I got one more question
Hold on for me
Did you learn your lesson?
Leave it in the driveway, bitch, I'm done
Makin' me cry and pull out my gun
I'm gonna shoot this if you run
Blow my brains out just for fun
I can't sleep and I can't eat
The same old shoes still on my feet
Same old grass still on my lawn
But, it died since you've been gone
Hold on to me
I got one more question
Hold on for me
Did you learn your lesson?
The lyrics of "Driveway" by Lil Peep explore the emotions of a man who is fed up with a toxic relationship. He is tired of being hurt and pushed around, and has lost his grip on sanity. The first and second verses show a man holding a gun, threatening to shoot whoever tries to leave him. He is so blinded by his pain that he finds it better to end his life than to deal with his heartbreak. The chorus of the song talks about the artist's desire to reconcile with his lover, despite everything they have gone through. He wonders if she has learned anything from their past experiences.
In the third verse, Lil Peep sings about his material possessions, which only seem to bring him temporary joy. He acknowledges that if his lover does not love him for who he is, then their relationship is bound to fail. He is willing to give her all that he has, but his friends do not approve of the relationship, and he is slowly losing his mind. The chorus is repeated in order to emphasize the artist's desperation to know if his lover has changed.
"Driveway" is a sad, melancholic song that delves deep into the emotions of a person who has been let down and defeated by their own expectations. Lil Peep's vocals and the lyrics of the song complement each other, bringing forth a powerful sense of heartbreak and vulnerability.
