Peep shows us through this song the way he left his hometown, without giving any news to the majority of the people he was with. Hating the main part of his old friends, he regrets, however, to have let down this girl, whom he tries to reconnect with through this verse.
yesterday
LIL PEEP Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Change my name, shave my head
Tell my friends that I'm dead
Run away from the pain, yesterday is not today
Yesterday is not today, yesterday is not today
Yesterday is not today
Yesterday is not today is not the same
Today is gonna be the day that I'm gonna come back to you
I know, I did a little blow and I never wrote back to you
My love, I wanna give it all to you
Baby, I just wanna ball with you
I couldn't see the end was comin' near the way I do
About you now
Change my name, shave my head
Tell my friends that I'm dead
Run away from the pain, yesterday is not today
Yesterday is not today, yesterday is not today
Yesterday is not today
Yesterday is not today is not the same
The lyrics to "Yesterday" display LIL PEEP's trademark vulnerability with self-destructive tendencies. He reflects on his past mistakes and the pain he's felt, while ultimately seeking redemption through his relationship with "you." He contemplates drastic changes such as changing his name and shaving his head as a means of escaping the pain, and even considers faking his own death to rid himself of his current situation entirely. However, he comes to the realization that despite his imperfect past, yesterday does not define his present or future.
