Problems
Lil' Peep Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I know I spent a lot of time in the background
Everytime that we together, I black out
Everytime that we together, she tap out
I remember, but she part of my past now
I remember all this shit from the past now
Took a pill and we passed out
I made a deal with the devil
You know I got my problems (problems)
Know you got yours too (know you got yours too)
Hold on to my revolver (revolver)
They ain't looking for you (they ain't looking for you)
Oh, girl, don't even bother (bother)
Why she act brand new? (Why she act brand new?)
Take what the devil offer (offer)
I got nothing to lose (I got nothing to lose)
Spent a lot of time in the background
You know I spent a lot of time in the background
Everytime that we together, I black out
Everytime that we together, she tap out
I remember, but she part of my past now
I remember all this shit from the past now
Took a pill and we passed out
I made a deal with the devil
You know I got my problems (problems)
Know you got yours too (know you got yours too)
Hold on to my revolver (revolver)
They ain't looking for you (they ain't looking for you)
Oh, girl, don't even bother (bother)
Why she act brand new? (Why she act brand new?)
Take what the devil offer (offer)
I got nothing to lose (I got nothing to lose)
In Lil' Peep's song "Problems," the lyrics touch upon themes of self-destructive behavior, a tumultuous relationship, and the consequences of dealing with personal demons. The repetition of the line "Spent a lot of time in the background" suggests that the singer has often been overlooked or overshadowed, possibly feeling invisible or insignificant in his own life. This feeling is amplified by the mention of blacking out whenever he is with someone, implying a lack of control or an escape from reality through substance abuse.
The reference to making a deal with the devil is metaphorical, symbolizing the singer's willingness to engage in destructive behavior for temporary relief or pleasure. It reflects a sense of desperation and a disregard for long-term consequences. The chorus further emphasizes the struggles faced by both the singer and the person he is addressing, acknowledging that everyone has their own challenges and flaws.
The lyrics also hint at a past relationship that the singer remembers, indicating that it ended and the person is now part of his past. This suggests a sense of longing or nostalgia for what was lost, while also acknowledging that it is time to move on. The mention of taking a pill and passing out reinforces the theme of self-medication and the desire to escape from reality.
