Pete & Wayne Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The lights are so bright
The demons are fightin inside of me
Smoking this dope
Lookin for hope
Praying that all of my wishes confine in me
I just been drinking this liquor an drivin
The signs out of sight and the drugs they combine in me
My sippin the only way I can get right wit me
I can’t get right wit myself
Poppin the clutch, I think need help
Keep me away from the belt
I’m feeling entitled to title myself
Pack my emotions
I stick to the dub* we in motion
The game need some lotion
An Pete need some copin
He say that he lost in his feelings
He say that he numb an can’t feel it
But they don’t believe em
They pushing his shit to the limit
He feel like never can win it
He jus wanna finish
I reach for the paper an pen it
You for reach for the keys to the rented
I dream of a benji
Or maybe a bundle to flip it
I work to go get it
My ethic so nasty it need antiseptic
It’s tested-just like a bomb Imma mess it
No stressin
Ride wit the Wesson
I promise to show you the way
If you jus keep on testin me
Ride wit a Mac
Cause I got me a Mack In the back
And he hidin it under his lap
Put me a sack in the bag
And I’m bustin it down on a wood
It’s straight from the pack
Sitting in traffic, the music
I make to get through it
It’s really been causing me havok
I cant imagine
All of the pain that I’m dealing wit
Really jus made a madman
Fuck all the cappin
All of the rappers been rappin
An Petey been spitting the facts
You sit in the back
All of ya buddies been bummin
You put all the rat in the trap
I’m back on the map
I’m turnin this shit to a wrap
You turnin this to a gap
Fuck all the bap
I can't go
Whatchu gonna do
On and On
My mind be racin
I can't go
Whatchu gonna do
On and On
My mind be racin
Push it to start
Push to the limit
My bitch, she a 10
My niggas is killin
Whenever I spit
Like crack I be dealin
She drinkin my semen
This bitch is a demon
Yeah
I'm the realest one yeah
She ain't stealin none yeah
We go on and on
Got gold on me
I'm upper echelon
Aye

My sippin the only way I can get right wit me

The signs out of sight and the drugs they combine in me
I just be trippin and overeactin
My sippin the only way I can get right wit me
The lyrics to Pete & Wayne's song "Signs" paints a vivid picture of the struggles of addiction, mental health, and fame. The song begins with the singer being consumed by the bright lights of Hollywood and the demons within them. They turn to drugs and alcohol to cope and find hope in their wishes. They acknowledge their self-destructive behaviors and the need for help, but feel entitled to continue in their destructive path. As the song progresses, the singer's emotions are packed away, and they continue on their destructive path, feeling trapped and unable to escape.
The lyrics convey a sense of despair and hopelessness, with the singer feeling lost and trapped in their addiction. Their bargaining with their own conscience is futile, as they continue down their self-destructive path. The line "I just be trippin and overreactin, my sippin the only way I can get right wit me," showcases a lack of self-awareness and a failed attempt at self-medication.
Overall, "Signs" is a poignant and thought-provoking exploration of the struggles of addiction, mental health, and fame. It is a reminder of the importance of seeking help and support in times of need.
