Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The Cycle never end still chasing the same feelin
I'm outta here won't find me there
It's crystal clear I disappeared
Don't got no time to play shit safe we all gon die one day
Bitch fall in line get out of my face can't take back what u say
You was a dime but ima bank I guess ain't chase
Gimme time just gimme space, a better way
This ain't a game but play I'll keep the pace
You insane you changed I can't complain
I called u gang u lame I make mistakes
If u were for me I'd know know
She throw that back rodeo
Mean nun from a groupie hoe
She getting too comfortable
Like kids with a forty four
Pop at the popo
Fuck popping ur own folks
Hop in the lab with lil reef and I send it up
I'm getting higher than Pluto yes feeling stuck
Tasting sweeter than glucose that bit got punch
I'm onna line a free throw I took once
I took it twice, I took it tons, I took it drunk, took it with love
Me and all my friends addicted to painkillers
The Cycle never end still chasing the same feeling
I'm outta here won't find me there
It's crystal clear I disappeared
Don't got no time to play shit safe we all gon die one day
Bitch fall in line get out of my face can't take back what u say
You was a dime but ima bank I guess ain't chase
Gimme time just gimme space, a better way
I feel amazing but I'm still in matrix
I feel amazing but I'm still in matrix
See, something shifted
Popped a pill and be patient 01 I'm glitching
I been having visions that I rather wouldn't mention
Look me in my eyes feel like there ain't no point in tellin
Shoulda ended up a felon
Or a dead man
Pray to reverend
That my soul is for takin
Promised myself that I'd be done thinking bout this
Eyes in my notes on the road pay attention
How you tear down my ego then call me arrogant
Actin like cause you deepthroat it make you talented
You a trip
I been thru a lot and that shit changed me
Just look at the star and how they fading
You don't even know but you saved me
Been thinking about you lately
I been through a lot and that shit changed me
Just look at the star and how they fading
You don't even know but you saved me
Been thinking about you lately
It's just another step
Just another step
I just needed help
I'll remember that
I'll remember that
I'll remember that
I'll remember that
I'll remember that
I'll remember that
The lyrics to T.O.P's song "Same" depict the struggles and addictive behavior surrounding painkillers. The singer and their friends are all caught in a cycle of addiction, constantly chasing the same feeling that the drugs provide. The constant search for that high leads the singer to distance themselves from their current situation, disappearing from the scene entirely. They refuse to play it safe, acknowledging that everyone will eventually die, and they express a desire to move forward and leave negative influences behind.
The lyrics also touch upon themes of relationships and personal growth. The singer references a failed romantic connection, likening the person to a dime they couldn't hold onto. They express a need for time and space to find a better way to cope with their pain, possibly implying that they relied on substances to numb themselves. The verses also delve into introspection, as the singer contemplates their own transformation and the impact of external judgment. They acknowledge their past mistakes and the changes that have occurred, accepting the consequences and striving for personal growth.
Overall, "Same" delves into the struggles of addiction, the complexities of relationships, and the need for personal reflection and growth.
