Xanax Bars
Ricky Hil Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's getting late, I'm bout to miss my show,
Where the fuck did you go,
On this day that I'm leaving you, and I told you so,
So she grabs my face, looks in my eyes,
Asks me if I got high last night, but I didn't,
I was smoking on weed, she was talking about the other kind,
Something knocks at the door, and I leave forever,
She wanna lay with me, Trying stay with me,
I'm dying now, I'm dying now

My hands shaking a lot,
I've been smoking a lot,
and I ain't been making a lot,
My hands shaking a lot,
I've been smoking a lot,
and I ain't been making a lot
Xanax bars ain't making it stop,
Xanax bars ain't making it stop

And I know I'm gonna leave someday, but it ain't today,
You see me I'm kind of off, a little slurred when I talk,
And them people in the street they be starring when I walk,

Go ahead Mr.Business man you can't dress like me,
Yeah

If I let a bitch breathe, She'll get ahead of me,
Find another mutha fucka, That she think way better than me,
Let's hope you're better than me, Cuz im gone for good,
I'm a see about a view things, Ricky misunderstood,
I'm dying now, I'm dying now

My hands shaking a lot,
I've been smoking a lot,
and I ain't been making a lot,
My hands shaking a lot,
I've been smoking a lot,
and I ain't been making a lot,
Xanax bars ain't making it stop,
Xanax bars ain't making it stop,




Xanax bars ain't making it stop,
Xanax bars ain't making it stop.

Overall Meaning

The song "Xanax Bars" by Ricky Hil tells a story about a man who is struggling with substance abuse and the deterioration of his relationships as a result. He is about to miss a show and is looking for his companion, who he previously informed that he was leaving. She asks him if he's been using drugs, but he denies it, only admitting to smoking weed. As the song progresses, he admits that his hands are shaking from excessive smoking and he hasn't been productive lately. The repeated line "Xanax bars ain't making it stop" reveals that he has turned to prescription drugs to try and cope, but they are not enough to numb his pain or solve his problems.


The chorus also suggests that he has a desire to change and leave his current lifestyle behind, but he's not ready to do it yet. He recognizes that he is not in a good place, but he isn't sure how to get out of it or where to turn. Even though he's aware that his behavior and addiction are causing him to lose those close to him, he still continues on his self-destructive path. The mention of the "business man" who cannot dress like him highlights Ricky's rebellion and resistance to conform to societal norms, suggesting that his addiction may be a form of rebellion against the strictures of traditional society.
