Voices
Skye Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yeah, ayy, ayy, ayy

At night I lie awake trying to fight the voices in my head (voices in my head)
Visions of you, racing, racing playing
It's all inside my head (it's all inside my head)
Fucked up too many times
Somethings are better left unsaid
At night I lie awake trying to fight the voices in my head

Girl why you tryna, you should just save yourself
If I said that we can make it out, I'd be lying to myself
Wishing I could hit reset, bad decisions, I regret
Now you talking to your ex, yeah, I'm sad I'm now like X baby

Ay, Slappin' on the pussy like a battle axe, uh
Got a bigger ass than a Cadillac, uh
Peanut butter drip, they got cataracts
Fucked his baby momma on a muhfuckin' yoga mat, uh
Hunnid phone, hunnid phone, backpack
Laughing at these niggas like I'm muhfuckin' Flapjack
Ion' fuck with games, I fuck with blackjack
Scooter riding niggas like a muhfuckin' Jack Black

At night, I lay awake trying to fight the voices in my head
Visions of you, racing, racing playing, it's all inside my head
Fucked up too many times somethings are better left unsaid
At night, I lie awake trying to fight the voices in my head

This'll be my best side, now I feel like suicide
Baby, are you switching sides?
Why you out here telling lies? It coulda been you and I
Thought you were my ride or die

At night, I lie awake trying to fight the voices in my head
Visions of you, racing, racing playing, its all inside my head




Fucked up too many times somethings are better left unsaid
At night, I lie awake trying to fight the voices in my head

Overall Meaning

In Skye's song "Voices," the lyrics describe the singer's inner turmoil and the struggle to silence the constant voices in their head. The voices are ever-present at night, preventing the person from sleeping and causing racing thoughts and visions of someone from their past. The lyrics convey a sense of regret and sadness, as the person recognizes that they have made mistakes that cannot be undone. They feel powerless in trying to stop the voices and are haunted by memories of a lost love.


The second verse of the song takes a darker turn, with graphic descriptions of sexual encounters and drug use. This verse depicts a different side of the singer—one who engages in self-destructive behavior and seemingly doesn't care about the consequences. By the end of the song, the lyrics shift back to the singer's internal struggle, with questions about their own mental state and relational instability.


Overall, "Voices" is a haunting and introspective song that explores the complexities of the human psyche.
