Problems
LiFli Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

So many problems dont wanna solve em
I-i-i-i-i
Feel like im going under
My mind so clouded with the thoughts of you
I just wanna wake up feel brand new
Forget all the shit that ive been through

(I-i-i-i just cant escape my fucking mind)
Got 99 problems dont know where to start
Wish i could go back and just hit resart
I shine like a star but my heart is straight dark
Only hop out the booth when i need A spark
Yea stay high all the time
To keep you off my mind
And dont ask how im feeling you can see that im down
So caught up in my own thoughts girl i think i might
Drown from it all
I cant forget what i saw
Your my drug baby ive been feeling withdraw
Spiders down my back my skin starts to crawl
Times passing by im forgetting it all
Yea
Without you im feeling so strange
So disconnected like im out of range
My hearts like a bong you use it you feel it till its beat inside
I got no feelings thats something that i cant decide
Trust me ive tried and ive tried
Gave you my truth had nothing to hide
We only fucking when u coming by
Look what you started now i got

So many problems dont wanna solve em
I-i-i-i-i
Feel like im going under
My mind so clouded with the thoughts of you




I just wanna wake up feel brand new
Forget all the shit that ive been through

Overall Meaning

The song "Problems" by LiFli is a heartfelt track filled with conflicting emotions. The opening lines of "so many problems don't wanna solve 'em" suggests that the artist is struggling with numerous internal conflicts that he just cannot seem to resolve. He implies that the thoughts of his partner (presumably an ex-lover) are clouding his mind and he is unable to forget them. The artist uses metaphors like "my heart is straight dark," "spiders down my back, my skin starts to crawl" to represent his emotional turmoil. The chorus "I just wanna wake up feel brand new, forget all the shit that I've been through" showcases his desperation to forget his problems and start anew.


The verses reveal the artist's battle with a drug addiction to cope with his pain. He says he stays high all the time to keep his ex-lover off his mind, indicating his addiction to be a result of her leaving him. However, he reminisces about her, saying that she is his drug and that he feels withdrawals. He condemns his own inability to let go of her, as he tries to detach, saying "I got no feelings; that's something that I can't decide, trust me, I've tried and I've tried." The second verse suggests that his partner initiates sexual encounters with him without reciprocating emotions, indicating their relationship was only physical.


The song is an emotional rollercoaster ride that addresses themes of addiction, heartbreak, and self-destructive coping mechanisms. It reveals the artist's deeply personal struggles, inviting the listener to empathize with him.
