I am so Tired I am on a Fire
I Don’t know why I am so High
I Synchronize I love the Wise

I Don’t know why I am so High
I Love the kite I wanna Fly

The song 'I Don't Know Why' by Lil is a poignant expression of the contradictory emotions and experiences that many people go through. The lyrics depict a person who is feeling tired, high, and at the same time, low in spirit. The singer appears to be grappling with his emotions as he experiences a range of feelings, from wanting to fly to feeling like he's in a grave. The repetition of the phrase, "I don't know why I am so high," underscores the sense of confusion that the singer is experiencing.
One interpretation of the song is that Lil is struggling with substance abuse or addiction, as indicated by the references to being "high" and wanting to "fly." He may be using drugs to deal with his pain, but as the song progresses, he admits that the drugs are also killing his vibe and making him feel like he's dead. The line, "Ain't nobody there to lead me to the Light," suggests that Lil is searching for guidance or support but feels alone and lost. The reference to the number 999 could also be a nod to Juice WRLD, who was associated with that number and died from a drug overdose in 2019.
Another interpretation of the song is that it speaks to the universal human experience of feeling lost or disconnected from oneself and others. The lyrics touch on themes of emotional pain, loneliness, and the struggle to find meaning and purpose in life. The reference to the "Wise" could be interpreted as a spiritual or philosophical quest for enlightenment, while the line, "Got my Homies to help me Revive," suggests that Lil recognizes the importance of having a supportive community.
Overall, 'I Don't Know Why' is a raw and honest expression of the struggles that many young people face today, whether it be addiction, mental health, or simply the challenges of growing up in a complex and confusing world.
