Drip
Mike Posner Lyrics

Something's in the way
There is an obstacle or barrier in the situation

Oh, something in the way
Again, there is a hindrance in the path

I know who you are when no one's looking
I am familiar with your true self, your authentic identity

Just by looking in your face
Simply by observing your expression or demeanor

I'm liberated
I am free from constraints or limitations

Our freedom never felt so jammin', baby
Our sense of liberation has never been so exhilarating

Drip, drip, drip (drip)
The continuous flow or presence of something, possibly emotions or secrets

Your eyes, your lies are gorgeous (drip)
Even though your lies are captivating, they still carry a sense of deception

Avicii died, and little homie calls me up, and he's crying
When Avicii passed away, a young friend contacted me in distress

(Drip) I told him, 'I'ma be honest with you, if you don't get your shit together, you're next'
I advised him truthfully that if he doesn't improve his situation, he may face a similar fate

And the truth is, by the time you hear this song, I don't fuckin' know if he's gon' be alive or not
Honestly, I cannot predict whether he will still be alive when you listen to this song

This is all compounded by the fact that she and I do not speak anymore
The situation is further complicated by the fact that she and I no longer communicate

I mean, am I the only one here who doesn't know what the fuck is going on?
Amidst all this confusion, do I stand alone in my lack of understanding?

I worked the last ten years. I'm a multimillionaire
I have dedicated the past decade of my life to work and have accumulated significant wealth

I'm thirty years old, it's supposed to all be good
At the age of thirty, everything is expected to be positive and satisfactory

It is not fucking all good. Fuck
Contrary to expectations, things are far from ideal and I am frustrated

And see, no one's really sure how long we were there for
Nobody can accurately determine the duration of our presence in a certain situation

Some say a few hours, others say a few years
Different individuals claim varying time periods, ranging from a few hours to several years

All I know is a funny thing happens when you look in someone's eyes that long
A peculiar phenomenon occurs when prolonged eye contact is made with another person

You start to see their face unravel, you start to see their most beautiful
Their true emotions and vulnerabilities begin to surface, revealing their true beauty

And their most disgusting parts, you start to see that those are actually the same thing
You also notice their flaws and unpleasant aspects, realizing that they are integral parts of the person

You start to see them disappear, you start to see your mother
Their presence starts to fade, and you start to envision your own mother

You start to see them, see you, you start to see tears
You begin to witness their reflection in yourself, and tears become visible

And you ain't sure who they belong to
Uncertainty arises regarding the ownership of those tears

Let 'em fall
Allow the tears to be shed

Drip
The sound or sensation of something trickling, possibly tears or emotions

I don't remember you ever running away another time from school classes, you must have. Do you?
I cannot recall a previous instance of you avoiding school classes, but there may have been one. Do you remember?

Did you get caught? What happened to you?
Were you discovered or exposed? What were the consequences?

I feel like I'm always running away
I have a constant sense of evading or escaping from circumstances
