Dont Kill My Vibe
Sigrid Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You speak to me like I'm a child
Try to hold it down, I know the answer
I can shake it off and you feel threatened by me
I tried to play it nice but
Oh-oh-oh, ooh, ooh
Don't kill my vibe
Don't break my stride
You think you're so important to me, don't you?
But I wanted you to know that you don't belong here
You think you're so important to me, don't you?
Don't kill my vibe
You love to tear me down, you pick me apart
Then build me up like I depend on you
But I throw myself from heights that used to scare me
Guess you're surprised I'm the puzzle you can't figure out
I tried to play it nice but
Oh-oh-oh, ooh, ooh
Don't kill my vibe
Oh-oh-oh, ooh, ooh
Don't break my stride
(I tried to play it nice but)
You think you're so important to me, don't you?
But I wanted you to know that you don't belong here
You think you're so important to me, don't you?
Don't kill my vibe
Say I'm young, I don't care, I won't quit, no, no, no, ho
Say I'm young, I don't care, I won't quit, no, no, no, ho
And oh-oh-oh-oh
You're acting like you hurt me but I'm not even listening
Hey, no-ooh-ooh-ooh
You're acting like you hurt me but I'm not even listening
Don't kill
Don't kill my vibe
You think you're so important to me, don't you?
But I wanted you to know that you don't belong here
You think you're so important to me, don't you?
I tried to play it nice but
Oh-oh-oh, ooh, ooh
Don't kill my vibe
Oh-oh-oh, ooh, ooh
Don't break my stride
(I tried to play it nice but)
You think you're so important to me, don't you?
But I wanted you to know that you don't belong here
You think you're so important to me, don't you?
Don't kill my vibe
The song "Don't Kill My Vibe" by Norwegian singer Sigrid addresses the feeling of being held back or put down by someone who seeks to control her. In the first verse, she sings about someone who talks down to her as if she is a child and tries to hold her down, but she knows the answer and can shake it off. However, the person feels threatened by her and tries to tear her down, only to build her back up again as if she depends on them. The chorus is a plea for the person not to kill her spirit or break her stride, to not underestimate her and think they are important to her because they don't belong in her life.
The song continues with Sigrid asserting her independence and strength, saying that she doesn't care if people think she is too young or won't make it because she won't quit. She recognizes that the person is trying to hurt her, but she isn't listening to their negativity. The song ends with another plea for the person not to kill her vibe because they aren't important to her. Throughout the song, Sigrid's vocals are powerful and expressive, perfectly conveying the frustration and determination in her lyrics.
