偽物ばかりのジョーク 張り合わない
言葉を並べてどうだい 与えられない
言い訳ばかりだ 兄弟 踊る 理愛
食い散らかし so high 見ていられない

Everything is everywhere
拙い 今日 苦悩
Everything is everywhere
言えない so you know hey

This is the boogie down, boogie down, boogie down, boogie down
Oh, oh, oh, yeah

声も息もない恐怖感 進む未来
愛を捨てちまう商売 何がしたい?
振り回されているのさ 俺らの life
終身用などない uh yeah

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Suchmos's song "808" seem to touch upon feelings of frustration, aimlessness, and uncertainty in life. The first verse talks about how jokes and words don't seem to matter when faced with so much fake behavior and excuses. The second verse touches upon fear and the sacrifice of love for the sake of business. The chorus repeats the phrase "everything is everywhere," implying a sense of disorientation and confusion. The song seems to suggest that life is lacking direction or purpose, and that the singer and his "brother" are struggling to find their way.


The repeated refrain of "in the night" may symbolize a feeling of being lost or wandering through the darkness. The use of the number 808 in the title of the song might refer to the Roland TR-808 drum machine, which was popularized in hip hop and electronic music in the 1980s and 1990s, and which has become a symbol of the sound of popular music.


Overall, the lyrics of "808" seem to explore a sense of disconnection, uncertainty, and searching for meaning in life, set against a backdrop of urban rhythms and sounds.
