DEAD END
The Notorious B.I.G. & Lana Del Rey Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's a dead end
Guess it's downhill from here
Everything has been so weird
(So weird)
I guess it all depends
Where do we go from here
After the feelings you had for me disappeared
It doesn't make sense
How were you so scared
When I been crying so long
I had no more tears
(No more tears)
I've been tearing up so long
My eyes are drying out
From your perspective
I have nothing I should cry about-t-t-t
You think you're the only one who put in work
And everything I'm feeling is what I deserve
Meanwhile you can't tell how much I've been hurt
Because this whole time I've been putting you first
This ain't a love spell
This more like a curse
And everything you telling me is making it worse
It's a dead end
Guess it's downhill from here
Everything has been so weird
(So weird)
I guess it all depends
Where do we go from here
After the feelings you had for me disappeared
(Disappeared)
It doesn't make sense
How were you so scared
When I been crying so long
I had no more tears
(No more tears)
Yeah it's a dead end
Everybody looking for a friend now
We've been through it
But I'm tryna comprehend how
I've been tryna mend it
Buying cases of fasters
We been through the ringer
Now the time's running out
Piece it together and going back to where we first met
Looking for pleasure and lying with you in the dead end
It's an adventure
I'm gonna love you till we're finished
We can pretend it's not a dead-dead
It's a dead end
Guess it's downhill from here
(Stuck in the dead end)
Everything has been so weird
(So weird)
I guess it all depends
Where do we go from here
(Where do we go)
After the feelings you had for me disappeared
(Disappeared)
And it doesn't make sense
How were you so scared
When I been crying so long
I had no more tears no tears
(No more tears)
The Notorious B.I.G & Lana Del Rey's song "Dead End" is a melancholic and reflective song about a relationship that has reached its end. The song opens with the lyrics "It's a dead end, guess it's downhill from here, everything has been so weird," indicating the relationship has reached a dead end, and from now on, everything is going to go downhill. The lyrics continue to question the next move after feelings disappeared, how the person was scared when the singer had been crying, and tearing up so long that the eyes are drying out.
The second verse acknowledges the different perspectives in the relationship, while the singer cries, and the other person thinks they are putting in work. The singer has been putting the other person first, but it seems their efforts have gone unnoticed. The singer refers to the relationship as a curse, and everything the other person is saying to them is only making it worse. However, they also express their love for the other person, and even though it's a dead end, they can still pretend that it's not.
The song's chorus repeats the opening lyrics, emphasizing that the relationship is now in a dead end, and the singer cannot cry anymore. The song's lyrics convey feelings of sadness, loss, and confusion in a dead-end relationship.
