Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Every day I wake up, I'm stressing and shit
I hate it here, maybe it's best that I quit
But I can't I'm broke as fuck, and desperate as shit
I crept in this bitch Looking like I slept in a ditch
Looking decrepit as shit, dealing with depression within
Yes I'm infected with this, stunting my development
Why am I invested in this, there's no progression in this
Management gets to feast, may I suggest that we eat the rich
I hope we're all in agreement, man why would you protest
Catch em all at meeting, sitting up at their desk
Everything is turning left in the bitch
We was expected to quit, but instead made a mess in this bitch
I'm distressed and just sick, of all the shit I've dealt with
There's no change if there's no change, this is indefinite ahhh
Same shit day in, same shit day out
This isn't living, I need to find a way out
Issa dead end, issa issa dead end
Issa dead end, issa issa dead end
Same shit day in, same shit day out
This isn't living, I need to find a way out
Issa dead end, issa issa dead end
Issa dead end, issa issa dead end
Fuck a 9 to 5 every time I turn around it's Monday
y'all know I'm sipping this bottle maybe I'll win the lotto one day
On Sunday, I'm contemplating if I should call off
I should leave a message telling them I quit, fuck you, that's y'all loss
And fuck y'all boss, shit is designed for me to have the same position, forever
Y'all don't even read the shit I put in the suggestion box, never
It's ok, got me feeling like I'm in a cul-de-sac in my cubicle
Findin something different to do is hard to solve just like a Rubik's cube
It's still fuck you pay me, but just don't enslave me
I should curse y'all all the fuck out the way I'm feeling lately
But NIPSCOs due and the rent is too
So I'm go take my black ass to work that's what I'm finna do
Same shit day in, same shit day out
This isn't living, I need to find a way out
Issa dead end, issa issa dead end
Issa dead end, issa issa dead end
Same shit day in, same shit day out
This isn't living, I need to find a way out
Issa dead end, issa issa dead end
Issa dead end, issa issa dead end
The lyrics to Notorious B.I.G. and Lana Del Rey's song Dead End are about cutting ties with a toxic friend who has a negative impact on one's life. The opening lines suggest that the singer is fed up with the friend's behavior and does not want to listen to their excuses anymore. She accuses the friend of being a loser and wants them to disappear from her life. The singer adds that she does not need the friend's money or fake show of affection, and when she turns her back, the friend makes her pay the price.
The second verse reinforces the idea that the singer has had enough of the friend's lies and manipulative behavior. She cannot even bear to look at the friend anymore, and the friend's deceitful ways have caught up with them. The singer warns the friend that they are entangled in their lies and are on their way down. Ultimately, the chorus emphasizes that the friend is a "dead end friend" and that the singer is laying down the law by ending the relationship.
The song's lyrics highlight the complexities of friendship dynamics and how difficult it can be to remove oneself from toxic relationships. The lyrics also touch on themes of betrayal, honesty, and the importance of setting boundaries. The repetitive nature of the chorus emphasizes the singer's conviction in ending the friendship.
Line by Line Meaning
I can hear you talkin' but I don't want to hear
I'm aware of your words, but I'm not interested in listening to them
'Cause you're such a loser, want to make you disappear
You are a useless person, and I wish you were gone
I don't need your money, you smile and act so nice
I don't want anything from you, even if you try to act friendly
And when I turn my back on you, you make me pay the price
You take advantage of me when I'm not looking
Baby don't you see it, I'm all through with you
I'm done with our relationship, and I want you to realize it
Just turn around and leave it, there's nothing left to do
Go away and move on, there's no point in staying
With friends like you around me, who needs enemies
Your behavior towards me is worse than my worst enemy's behavior
I'm laying down the law now, it's not too hard to see
I'm setting some rules for our relationship, and it's obvious
You're a dead end friend, in the end
You're not someone I want to keep in my life
You're a dead end friend!
You have reached the end of the road, and there's no way back
I can't see your face now, you vanish in the haze
I can't recognize you anymore, and you're fading away into the unknown
You were such a liar, with all your twisted ways
You used to deceive me all the time, with your tricky behavior
You spun your webs of lies so, you cannot turn back now
You created a web of lies that you can't escape from
You've become entangled and now your going down!
You're trapped in your own lies, and they will be your downfall
