Machine Gun Kelly released his fifth album, Tickets to My Downfall, in 2020; it marked a complete departure from hip hop and entry into pop punk. It debuted at number one on the Billboard 200, the only rock album to do so that year, and contained the single "My Ex's Best Friend" (with blackbear), which reached number 20 on the Hot 100. He achieved similar commercial success with its follow up mainstream sellout (2022).
Machine Gun Kelly had his first starring role in the romantic drama Beyond the Lights (2014), and since appeared in the techno-thriller Nerve (2016), the horror Bird Box (2018), the comedy Big Time Adolescence and portrayed Tommy Lee in the biopic The Dirt (both 2019).

Machine Gun Kelly Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Even though, that won't last long
I swear this love is a sad song
I spent my nights at the strip club
I pay them girls just to get love
I pay them to lie to me
One of them girls gave her line to me
I spent my night at the strip club
I pay them to lie to me
Girl I can't even lie
What do you see, when you look at me?
Don't cover my scars, let them bleed
Tell me, is this how it's supposed to be?
Well then, I'm so, I'm so happy
And we don't need rehab, mmm mmm
We don't need rehab, mmm mmm
We don't need rehab, mmm mmm
We don't need rehab
We don't need rehab
Would you be happy if I let you go?
Even if the highs feel low
Even if you couldn't sleep because you couldn't feel me underneath the covers when your eyes closed
I'm gettin' faded 'cause our love is faded
If I'm a monster then it's 'cause you made 'im
Beauty and the beast, now that's an ultimatum
Go with what you love, or follow what is gonna save you, whoa
I think we went somewhere we shouldn't go
Maybe it was vodka, maybe it was blow
Maybe it was nothin', maybe it was both
Maybe it was the secrets I didn't wanna you to know
Maybe I wasn't leavin', maybe you made me go
Maybe there was a reason for our behaviour tho
Maybe it was the pills or the house on the hills
Maybe it was the thrills, baby this love kills
What do you see, when you look at me?
Don't cover my scars, let them bleed
Tell me, is this how it's supposed to be?
Well then, I'm so, I'm so happy
And we don't need rehab, mmm mmm
We don't need rehab, yeah mmm mmm
We don't need rehab, mmm mmm
We don't need rehab
We don't need rehab
What do you see, when you look at me?
Don't cover my scars, let them bleed
Tell me, is this how it's supposed to be?
Well then, I'm so, I'm so happy
And we don't need a rehab, mmm mmm
We don't need a rehab, mmm mmm
We don't need a rehab, mmm mmm
We don't need a rehab
We don't need a rehab
The song "Rehab" by Machine Gun Kelly is a sad ballad about the struggles of love and addiction. The beginning of the song laments the difficulty of starting again in a relationship that has been troubled by addiction. The singer acknowledges that this love is like a sad song, and although they may be sober now, it won't last long because the addiction will come back. The lyrics then delve into the singer's own struggles with addiction, specifically with paying for love at strip clubs.
The chorus of the song repeats the idea that the two lovers do not need rehab, despite the clear addiction and struggles they are facing. The singer asks what the other person sees when they look at them, begging them not to cover their scars and asking if this is really how things are supposed to be. Despite the sadness in the lyrics, the singer maintains that they are happy with the situation, possibly indicating a lack of hope for change.
The song ultimately paints a picture of two people in a toxic relationship, held together by addiction and a love that is both beautiful and destructive. It acknowledges the pain caused by addiction but also the difficulty of letting go and moving on.

Yeah, can we please start over, now that we're both sober?
After all the chaos, can we begin afresh? Though, this newfound clarity may only last for a little while.
I swear this love is a sad song
Our relationship, despite its best efforts, seems destined to always end in tears.
I spent my nights at the strip club
I pay them girls just to get love
I pay them to lie to me
One of them girls gave her line to me
In a desperate attempt to find affection and validation, I spend my nights at the strip club where I pay the dancers to lie to me and give me fake attention.
Girl I can't even lie
What do you see, when you look at me?
I can't pretend everything is okay anymore. What do you truly see when you look into my eyes?
Don't cover my scars, let them bleed
Tell me, is this how it's supposed to be?
Well then, I'm so, I'm so happy
I don't need you to hide my flaws, let the pain show. Is our dysfunctional relationship supposed to be this way? If so, then I'm happy in it.
And we don't need rehab, mmm mmm
We don't need rehab, mmm mmm
Despite our problems, we don't require professional help to mend our relationship.
Would you be happy if I let you go?
Even if the highs feel low
Even if you couldn't sleep because you couldn't feel me underneath the covers when your eyes closed
Would you be content if I ended things between us? Even if the good moments are overshadowed by the bad, and even if you can't sleep without me next to you?
I'm gettin' faded 'cause our love is faded
If I'm a monster then it's 'cause you made 'im
I turn to drugs and alcohol because our love is dying and it's hard to cope. If I behave monstrously, it's because of how you've treated me.
Beauty and the beast, now that's an ultimatum
Go with what you love, or follow what is gonna save you, whoa
Our relationship is like Beauty and the Beast, but we have to choose between what we love and what's best for us.
Maybe it was the thrills, baby this love kills
Perhaps it's the excitement of our tumultuous relationship that's keeping us captivated, but ultimately, it's toxic and damaging.
We don't need a rehab
Repeating the chorus, we don't require professional help to mend our relationship, even though it is broken and painful.

you gotta admit his latest lp was trash...
@wyattmorris4755
Yeah man, you learn what good rap. This is ehh. This is like listening to Eminem when he first came back. Mgk can't sing, he did way better in the rapping verse than the singing. I mean, if you think this is fire you need to reevaluate your stuff. Ed Sheeran can do better and has.
