Sliimy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Possessive
But I’m fine
But I’m fine
You are so pretty I swear, I’m the last one to say it
You’re so a sweetie, but there are too many vultures here
They surround you and they want to eat you
But leave without the vodka, leave without the vodka
I’m gonna try, I’m gonna try
Hey, my God, I’m in love, I’m in love, I’m in love, I’m in
Hey, my God, I’m in love, I’m in love
With it all except you, except you.
You seemed so pretty I swear, but now you look like a big shit
You are so ugly, the vultures will never eat your dick
I let you insist, and let me savour this
I’m gonna run now I’m gonna run
Leave me with my vodka, leave me with my vodka
You should try, you should try
You seemed so pretty i swear
But now you look like.
Leave me with my vodka, leave me with my vodka
You should try, you should try right
Hey, my God, I’m in love, I’m in love, I’m in love, I’m in
Hey, my God, I’m in love, I’m in love
With it all except you, except you.
Hey, my God, I’m in love, I’m in love, I’m in love, I’m in
Hey, my God, I’m in love, I’m in love
With it all except you, except you.
The lyrics of Sliimy's song "My God" seem to revolve around an unrequited love, where the singer is in love with someone who is surrounded by admirers or "vultures" who are trying to get close to them. Despite the singer finding them "so pretty" initially, they also find them "aggressive" and "possessive." The chorus repeats the phrase "Hey, my God, I'm in love, I'm in love, I'm in love," emphasizing the intensity of the singer's feelings. However, they also say "with it all except you," suggesting that this love is not reciprocated and perhaps even toxic.
The second part of the song switches the perspective, where the singer now sees the person they were in love with as "so ugly" and no longer desirable. They also mention "letting them insist" and "savoring" the moment, hinting that their interactions may have been manipulative or one-sided. The song concludes with the repeated chorus, indicating that despite these negative emotions towards the object of their affection, the singer is still unable to fully let go of their feelings.
Overall, the lyrics of "My God" convey a complex and at times contradicting mix of emotions surrounding a failed relationship or crush. The singer seems to both idealize and demonize the person they were interested in, unable to fully move on and still feeling intense emotions towards them.
