The Kid LAROI Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Won't like waking up tomorrow
I'm the only one that cares about myself
And you don't need me like I need you
So if you go maybe I'll free you
But I'll be lost, to tell the truth, I need your help
And even you can't fix my problems
Like you once did, I'm too hollow
If it's me or if it's you 'cause you don't even pick up my calls no more
I'm drunk and left alone with all my thoughts
So maybe, maybe I'm driving me crazy
Maybe it's me and it's not you
I'm not too good at admitting when I fuck up
But maybe, maybe it's you who can save me
I got love for you, but I hate me
Maybe, there's no way to change me
So maybe, maybe I'm driving me crazy
Maybe it's me and it's not you
I'm not too good at admitting when I fuck up
But maybe, maybe it's you who can save me
I got love for you, but I hate me
Maybe, there's no way to change me, yeah-yeah
No way that I'll ever change
So I'm down to lay down next to my brain
Said I'm okay, but no way
More than I can take
And there's no one to blame but me
No need to wait for me
"Why do you pick me up just to break me?"
That's what you say to me, why do you play with me?
You won't ever understand
So maybe, maybe I'm driving me crazy
Maybe it's me and it's not you
I'm not too good at admitting when I fuck up
But maybe, maybe it's you who can save me
I got love for you, but I hate me
Maybe, there's no way to change me
So maybe, maybe I'm driving me crazy
Maybe it's me and it's not you
I'm not too good at admitting when I fuck up
But maybe, maybe it's you who can save me
I got love for you, but I hate me
Maybe there's no way to change me
The Kid LAROI's song "Maybe" touches on the struggles of self-hatred, depression and addiction. The lyrics express a deep sense of loneliness and desperation for someone to save him from his own self-destructive behavior. The singer of the song appears to be drowning his sorrows in a bottle and contemplating his own existence, admitting that he needs help but is unable to ask for it. The line "I'm the only one that cares about myself, and you don't need me like I need you" showcases the singer's low self-esteem and self-worth issues. He believes that he is not worthy of anyone's love or attention, and the only person who cares about him is himself.
The chorus of the song highlights the singer's confusion about his own mental state. He questions whether the problems he's facing are a result of his own actions or if it's someone else's fault. The line "Maybe it's me and it's not you, I'm not too good at admitting when I fuck up" showcases his tendency to blame others for his problems instead of taking responsibility for his actions. The song's somber melody and the Kid LAROI's emotional delivery of the lyrics perfectly capture the singer's sense of despair and hopelessness.
