Made For Me
The Fiends Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In a hospital
They never change the strap tho
Water drippin like so slow
Ima animal
And ima let it go
I think i see the same face once before
Locking with keys what i keep in my drawer
Its so locked down
And Im so strung out
Please keep me around for whats gonna be
And what it coulda been about
I made this beat for someone else and then they forgot it
Skatin thru the streets hittin cars with my body
Always bruised and battered from trends again
Starin at the light to cleanse
Cuz I dont wanna save the same face
Prolly lookin at his body in the same way
Always shinin from the glare while they say grace
In a bodybag
But we're all goin to the same damn place
Id be doin so damn good with a bag or two
Ima drop another sad girl to some other foo
Always on some weirdo shit but a better mood
Ion care bout dirty shoes
I been raging hell for a long time
Catacomb tomb in the meantime
Ima just cover it up in the car
Goin so fast but not im goin far
The lyrics to "Made For Me" by The Fiends depict themes of inner turmoil, addiction, and a sense of being trapped. The opening lines, "Ima animal, In a hospital, They never change the strap tho," suggest a feeling of being out of control and trapped in a destructive cycle. The reference to water dripping slowly could symbolize the passage of time, with the singer feeling stuck and unable to escape their circumstances.
The chorus, "Its so locked down, And Im so strung out, Please keep me around for whats gonna be, And what it coulda been about," highlights a sense of desperation, with the singer begging to be kept around despite their struggles. The line "I made this beat for someone else and then they forgot it" could symbolize a feeling of being overlooked or discarded, only to skate through life causing damage and physical harm to oneself. There is a sense of self-destructive behavior and a longing for change represented in the lyrics.
The verse, "Id be doin so damn good with a bag or two, Ima drop another sad girl to some other foo," suggests a reliance on drugs or substances to cope with emotions and to feel better. The references to being on a "weirdo shit" but being in a better mood and not caring about "dirty shoes" indicate a detachment from societal norms and a willingness to embrace their own unique path, regardless of the consequences.
The final lines, "I been raging hell for a long time, Catacomb tomb in the meantime, Ima just cover it up in the car, Goin so fast but not im goin far," further reinforce the sense of being trapped and struggling, with the singer trying to mask their pain and move forward but feeling like they are not making progress.
Overall, "Made For Me" by The Fiends explores the themes of addiction, self-destructive behavior, a desire for change, and a feeling of being trapped in one's circumstances.
Line by Line Meaning
Ima animal
I am fierce and untamed
In a hospital
In a place of healing and vulnerability
They never change the strap tho
They neglect to fix what is broken or restrain me properly
Water drippin like so slow
Time passing slowly, like the slow drip of water
Ima animal
I am fierce and untamed
And ima let it go
I am going to release my wild nature
I think i see the same face once before
I believe I have encountered a familiar expression in the past
Locking with keys what i keep in my drawer
Securing and guarding my secrets and treasures
Its so locked down
It is tightly secured
And Im so strung out
I am emotionally exhausted and overwhelmed
Please keep me around for whats gonna be
Please stay with me to witness what will happen in the future
And what it coulda been about
And the potential meaning or significance it could have had
I made this beat for someone else and then they forgot it
I created this musical composition for another person, only for them to forget it
Skatin thru the streets hittin cars with my body
Recklessly moving through the streets, colliding with vehicles using my own body
Always bruised and battered from trends again
Consistently injured and harmed by societal fads and influences
Starin at the light to cleanse
Looking at the light as a form of purification
Cuz I dont wanna save the same face
Because I do not want to preserve the same expression or identity
Prolly lookin at his body in the same way
Probably observing his physical form with a similar perspective
Always shinin from the glare while they say grace
Always standing out and attracting attention while others pray
In a bodybag
In a state of death or lifelessness
But we're all goin to the same damn place
However, we are all destined for the same inevitable fate
Id be doin so damn good with a bag or two
I would be doing well if I had some drugs
Ima drop another sad girl to some other foo
I will engage with another melancholic woman and leave her for someone else
Always on some weirdo shit but a better mood
Constantly involved in odd activities, yet feeling happier
Ion care bout dirty shoes
I do not concern myself with having dirty footwear
I been raging hell for a long time
I have been experiencing intense anger and turmoil for a prolonged period
Catacomb tomb in the meantime
Existing in a state of darkness and isolation temporarily
Ima just cover it up in the car
I will simply conceal my emotions and struggles in the vehicle
Goin so fast but not im goin far
Moving at a rapid pace, but not making significant progress
