All My Friends
Snake Hips Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We open with the vultures, kissing the cannibals
Sure I get lonely, when I'm the only
Only human in the heaving heat of the animals
Bit of brown salt, stinging on my tongue and I
I will not waver, I will not wait its turn
It will beat, it will burn, burn, burn your love into the ground
With the lips of another
'Til you get lonely, sure I get lonely, sometimes

All my friends are wasted
And I hate this club
Man I drink too much
Another Friday night I wasted
My eyes are black and red
I'm crawling back to you babe

I hate the bar
Pharmacy addict hit a Wall Street traffic took the car
We reinvent the wheel just to fall asleep at it, skrrr
Crash on the floor, catch the ZZZ's
Popping the polar opposite the NZT
Hip hop and the propaganda say they name brand
But I done seen how the xan did my main man
The nights we won't remember
Are the nights we won't remember
I'll be gone 'till November
On my city come December
Dreams are made for cages nigga
Lions are for real nigga
Dying is for real, niggas dying off of pills nigga
Friday's awful chill and I escaped the treachery
I just had to rest in peace the recipe
The rest of us are praying that the sand will leave a tan
If you're up right now, hope you hear what I'm saying
Hope you hear what I'm saying

All my friends are wasted
And I hate this club
Man I drink too much
Another Friday night I wasted
My eyes are black and red
I'm crawling back to you babe

Don't even know me
Sure I get lonely some nights
When the angels on my shoulder
Slump my head
I'm stuck here with the vultures
Hissing and circling
You didn't call me, call me, call me, call me
I'm crawling, crawling, crawling back to you

All my friends are wasted
And I hate this club
Man I drink too much
Another Friday night I wasted
My eyes are black and red
I'm crawling back to you babe
All my friends are wasted
And I hate this club
Man I drink too much
Another Friday night I wasted




My eyes are black and red
I'm crawling back to you babe

Overall Meaning

The song "All My Friends" by Snakehips is about the feelings of alienation and the desire for human connection in a world full of hedonistic party-goers. The opening line "we open with the vultures, kissing the cannibals" is a metaphor for the ruthless, dog-eat-dog nature of modern society. The singer feels alone and out of place in this environment, surrounded by reckless people who drink and drug themselves into oblivion.


The chorus, "all my friends are wasted, and I hate this club," further underscores the sense of isolation and dissatisfaction with superficial social rituals. The singer drinks too much and ends up feeling lost and disconnected from the people around them. The repeated phrase "I'm crawling back to you babe" suggests that despite the singer's feelings of loneliness, they cling to the hope of finding someone who understands them.


The second verse references various destructive behaviors, from drug addiction to reckless driving, that people engage in to escape the banality of their lives. The lyrics touch on the tension between the allure of instant gratification and the longer-term consequences of such actions. The line "dying off of pills nigga" is a stark reminder that the pursuit of pleasure can have deadly consequences.


Overall, "All My Friends" is a poignant commentary on the emptiness of modern social life and the search for meaningful connection in an increasingly fragmented world.
