Yellow
Rich Brian Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Without anybody knowing?
Will anybody even miss me
When I'm gone?
Bottle full of liquor, I'ma drown tonight
Life looks so easy, all you gotta do is close your eyes
Please don't call the reverend, I don't need no help
I can't remember when I last felt alive
Don't try to save my life
I'm already on my way tonight
The blood is on my hands, it's either do or die
Don't even try to save my life
(Save my life)
They gon' memorize my name when I'm gone
And they gon' recognize my face when I'm gone
(They don't love you when you're wrong)
How do I disappear
Without anybody knowing?
Will anybody even miss me
When I'm gone?
Bitch, hello
(Hello, hello, hello, hello, hello, hello, hello)
Don't fight the feeling 'cause I'm yellow
(Yellow, yellow, yellow, yellow, yellow, yellow, yellow)
Will I make it? Who the hell knows?
(Hell knows, hell knows, hell knows)
(Hell knows, hell knows, hell knows, hell knows)
You want my soul but we don't sell those
(Sell those, sell those, sell those)
(Sell those, sell those, sell those, sell those) yeah, ay, oh
Got a full clip, don't even carry no guns (gun)
Don't need no ICE, feel like I'm 21 (21)
Breakfast and lunch, she gon' swallow my sons (sons)
Dinner, dessert, eat these rappers for fun (fun)
Don't give no fucks if you don't fuck with my shit
Rock fifty stages in all fifty states, bitch
I did it all without no citizenship
To show the whole world you just got to imagine
On the day (on the day)
The bullets block out the sun (the sun)
We are fools (we are fools)
Pointing at everyone (everyone)
But ourselves
'Cause we're the only ones to blame (we're the only ones to blame)
It's insane (oh, it's insane)
'Cause no one ever wants to change
The lyrics of “Yellow” by Rich Brian and Bekon tell the story of feeling lost and alone, contemplating disappearing without anyone noticing or caring. The singer grapples with darkness and self-destructive tendencies, even going as far as saying that they will bury themselves and they don’t need any help. The chorus repeats the question of whether anyone will miss them when they are gone, revealing a deep-seated fear of being forgotten or unimportant.
The second verse switches to a more confident tone, with the rapper asserting their own worth and potential for greatness. Despite not having citizenship, Rich Brian claims to have rocked stages in all fifty states, and brags about consuming his rivals without remorse. The chorus repeats, emphasizing the uncertainty and danger of the situation, as well as the singer's desperation for recognition and validation.
The bridge introduces a new element to the story, as the lyrics describe a metaphorical “day” when bullets block out the sun and everyone is pointing fingers, but nobody wants to change. The lines convey a sense of collective responsibility and guilt, as well as frustration at the lack of progress or willingness to make a difference.
Overall, “Yellow” is a powerful and emotional exploration of isolation, depression, and longing for acceptance. The song captures the complexities of mental and emotional struggles, as well as the darker sides of fame and success.
