Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
Hey you, with your earphones on in your bedroom
And you're all alone (Hey you!)
With your high heels on
But you're sad as fuck (Hey you!)
I'm, I'm a joke, I'm gonna runaway, runaway
Yeah, I'm the G.O.A.T., but people love me, love me
I'm, I'm a joke, I'm gonna runaway, runaway
Yeah, I'm the G.O.A.T., but people love me, love me
(Hey! Hey!)
I just ran away from home
I don't wanna go back
They said, "Boy, you such a joke"
I couldn't help but laugh
Hey, hey, I'm a joke
I'm a runaway, runaway
Yeah, yeah, I'm the G.O.A.T., people loving me, loving me
Hey You! I don't know if I wanna play you
You should know that I'm gonna save you
I don't wanna be the one to play you
Hey you, yeah, you! (Hey! Hey!)
I'm a joke, I'm a runaway
I'm the G.O.A.T., people loving me
I'm a joke, I'm a runaway
I'm the G.O.A.T., people loving me
(Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!)
Hey! Hey!
The ANXIETY featuring Willow and Tyler Cole's song "Hey You!" is a thought-provoking anthem about feeling isolated, lonely, and struggling with mental health issues. The song starts with the repetitive "Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!" chants, creating an energetic and striking introduction. The first verse addresses someone listening to music in their bedroom, and the singer acknowledges their lonely state. The following line switches to someone walking on the catwalk with high heels, and a realization that they may look happy but are indeed "sad as f***".
The chorus repeats that the singer is a "joke" and wants to run away, but at the same time, they are the "G.O.A.T." (an acronym for "Greatest of All Time") that people love. They are struggling with self-doubt and depression, and despite being a successful figure, they feel like a fraud. The bridge offers a glimpse into their personal life when the singer confesses about running away from home and not wanting to go back due to people calling them a joke. The message in this song is to let others know that they are not alone in their struggles, and it is okay to show vulnerability and reach out for help.
In summary, "Hey You!" by The ANXIETY featuring Willow and Tyler Cole is a song that talks about struggling with mental health, feeling lonely despite being in the spotlight, and dealing with self-doubts.
