Sprite
Shaylen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It goes on, and on, and on again
Everytime I fight it, the psycho never dies
It goes on, and on, and on again
I already taste it, holdin' on too long
And I'm way too faded, 'cause it's getting too strong
Heavy medicated, but it never feels wrongYeah, I gotta let it go, 'cause it's burning really slow, yeah
Up in the hills, where's all the thrills? Doin' me dirty, dirty
Didn't you think I wouldn't hear 70 in the 30?
What do you know? That's how it goes, givin' out exes and oh's
You're my kryptonite and I mix it with the Sprite
It goes on, and on, and on again
Everytime I fight it, the psycho never dies
It goes on, and on, and on again, yeah, yeah
Love you so much, it really fuckin' sucks, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Love you so much, lemon in the cut, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
I got demons in my head from the shit I never said
It goes on, and on, and on again
Can't get out of bed, man, I wish that I was dead
It goes on, and on, and on again
Up in the hills, where's all the thrills? Doin' me dirty, dirty
Didn't you think I wouldn't hear 70 in the 30?
What do you know? That's how it goes, givin' out exes and oh's (Exes and oh's, yeah)
You're my kryptonite and I mix it with the Sprite
It goes on, and on, and on again
Everytime I fight it, the psycho never dies
Love you so much, it really fuckin' sucks, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Love you so much, lemon in the cut, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
You're my kryptonite and I mix it with the Sprite
It goes on, and on, and on again
Everytime I fight it, the psycho never dies
It goes on, and on, and on again, yeah, yeah
In "Sprite," Shaylen sings about her struggles with addiction and a toxic relationship. The mention of mixing Sprite with kryptonite is a metaphor for her mixing her addiction with the person who is her "kryptonite." She acknowledges that every time she fights it, the "psycho," which could be interpreted as her addiction, never dies - it keeps going on and on again. Her addiction is a monster that she can't seem to shake.
The song also touches on the theme of heartbreak. Despite recognizing the toxicity of the situation, she loves this person so much that it sucks. The line "love you so much, lemon in the cut" suggests that though she's hurt, she keeps coming back for more, like adding lemon to an already painful wound. The chorus repeats, emphasizing that she can't seem to escape this cycle of addiction and heartbreak.
Overall, "Sprite" is a deeply personal song that captures the emotional turmoil of addiction and toxic relationships.
