This was the song that broke the friendship between Lil Peep and Lil Tracy since it was revealed how Tracy wrote most of the song but was only featured for some seconds in the music video.
The music video was released only two days after the release of the album. In the video, it shows Lil Peep having a “girlfriend” at school. At the end, he catches his “girlfriend” kissing another guy on the neck, in which he gets furious, and the school catches on fire. At the end, it depicts both the girl and Lil Peep in a fiery pit of hell, in which they reconnect.
Lil Peep died less than three months after the video was released, and exactly three months after the album was released. He died on November 15, 2017, after a laced Xanax overdose while on his tour bus in Tucson, Arizona, where his last show was scheduled to be.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You know I love it when you do that
Helps me get through this without you
Bother me, tell me awful things
You know I love it when you do that
Helps me get through this without you
Bother me, tell me awful things
Love it when you do that on me
You like attention, I find it obvious
She makes it obvious for me
She feels the tension
It's just the two of us, it's just the two of us tonight
Burn me down 'til I'm nothin' but memories
I get it, girl (I get it, girl)
I get it, girl
Burn me down 'til I'm nothin' but memories
I get it, girl (I get it, girl)
I'm not the one
Bother me, tell me awful things
You know I love it when you do that
Helps me get through this without you
Bother me, tell me awful things
You know I love it when you move that on me
Love it when you do that on me
Don't you turn your back on me
Let your teardrops fall on me
Speeding away, the city in the rear view
Heart racing whenever I'm near you
Goth Boi jumpin' on stage
Carry me away, carry me away
Burn me down 'til there's nothing left
I will scream your name with my last breath
Take off your favorite dress
Lay your head on my chest
Diamonds, rubies and gems
You can have all of them
Bother me, tell me awful things
You know I love it when you do that
Helps me get through this without you
Bother me, tell me awful things
You know I love it when move that on me
Love it when you do that on me
The lyrics of LIL PEEP's song Awful Things are complex and emotional, reflecting the pain and longing of a relationship that has ended but still haunts the singer. The first two lines, "Bother me, tell me awful things, You know I love it when you do that" depict the singer's love for the pain and hurt that the other person can inflict on him. It's like he's saying "bring it on" because that's the only way he can cope without them around. The repetition of these lines show how the singer is almost addicted to the pain this person can bring because it's a way for him to feel something in the absence of the person he loves. He needs to feel and the only way he knows how to do that is through this person.
The lyrics then move on to "Burn me down 'til I'm nothin' but memories, I get it girl (I get it, girl)," which reflect how the singer knows that the relationship is over and that he has to accept it. The singer is willing to let go of everything he has with this person and let them fade away into memories. The line "I get it girl" shows us that even though he is still hurting, he understands that they have to move on. This verse is also about acceptance and closure, which the singer needs to help him move on.
