Mr. Lonely
Tyler The Creator Ft. Anna Of The North Frank Ocean & Steve Lacy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
Call me, call me, call me, uh
Call me, call me, call me, uh
Call me, call me, call me
Call me, how you doin'?
(Call me) my name is Lonely, nice to meet you
Here's my number
You can reach me at, woo!
Nine-one-one (call me) call me some time
(You should call me) nine-one-one, call me some time
(You should call me, oh) nine-one-one
(Call me) nine-one-one
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
My thirst levels are infinity and beyond
Sippin' on that lemonade, I need a BeyoncΓ©
Can't see straight, these shades are CΓ©line Dion
Sucks you can't gas me up, shout out to Elon
Musk, yeah I got a sold out show
Crowd wild out but don't matter 'cause you not front row
I've been lookin' for a keeper, listen to the speaker
If you fit description, hit me on my beeper
At that nine-one-one
Call me some time
Ring, ring, ring
Please bang my line, you know I'll answer
(Click) call me some time
Ring, ring, ring
Please bang my line
Nine-one-one (call me) call me some time
(You should call me) nine-one-one, call me some time
(You should call me, oh) nine-one-one
(You should call me) nine-one-one
Chirp, chirp
Chirp, chirp
Woke up in the burbs, burbs
With the the birds, birds
Where you used to come and get me with the swerve, swerve
These days you gotta find time
Even the night line
Work line
Dial nine
Five car garage
Full tank of the gas
But that don't mean nothin', nothin'
Nothin', nothin', without you shotgun in the passenger
I'm the loneliest man alive
But I keep on dancin' to throw 'em off
I'm gon' run out of moves 'cause I can't groove to the blues
If you know any DJs, tell 'em to call me at nine-one-one
I can't even lie, I've been lonely as fuck
Old lonely ass nigga (I can't even lie, I've been lonely as fuck)
Need to go somewhere and get some bitches or something
Weird ass nigga
I can't even lie, I've been
Lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely
They say the loudest in the room is weak
That's what they assume, but I disagree
I say the loudest in the room
Is prolly the loneliest one in the room (that's me)
Attention seeker, public speaker
Oh my God, that boy there is so fuckin' lonely
Writin' songs about these people
Who do not exist, he's such a fuckin' phony
One thing I know, is that I wanna
Win so bad, but I'm not Chicago
Heart is low, it's real low, it's so low
You can't lift me up, I'm like Gallardo
From the start it's been real dark
It's been so dark I guess that you could call me charbroiled, huh
I'm playin' like Hasbro
I'm really Saari, call me Arto
Crashed the McLaren, bought me a Tesla
I know you sick of me talkin' 'bout cars (skrrt)
But what the fuck else do you want from me?
That is the only thing keepin' me company
Purchase some things until I'm annoyed
These items is fillin' the void
Been fillin' it for so long
I don't even know if it's shit I enjoy (oh)
Current battle as an adult
My partner is a shadow
I need love, do you got some I could borrow?
Fuck it, I could find some tomorrow
Woah, but that never comes
Like a vasectomy, what have I done?
I got the talent, the face and the funds
Found myself long ago but I haven't found someone (who)
Mirror, mirror on the wall (who)
The loneliest of them all (me)
Cupid actin' stupid
Do you got another number I could call?
Never had a pet
I've never had a pet
There's more fish in the sea
But I never had a goldfish to begin with
I never had a dog
So I've never been good with bitches
'Cause I never threw a ball, fetch
I never had a pet, that's where it stems from, I bet
Treat me like direct deposit
Check in on me sometime
Ask me how I'm really doin'
So I never have to press that nine-one-one
Oh! Damn! Damn!
In "911 / Mr. Lonely," Tyler the Creator uses a mix of humor and vulnerability to address his loneliness. The song features two main verses with a chorus in between, where Tyler repeats the lines "Call me, call me, call me, uh" and "Nine-one-one." The first verse is all about Tyler's desire for attention and love. Despite having a sold-out show and a full tank of gas, he feels lonely as hell. The second verse delves deeper into his insecurities, as Tyler shares that he has never had a pet and struggles to connect with people.
The chorus of "911 / Mr. Lonely" is where Tyler's humor shines through, as he plays with the idea of using the emergency line for non-emergencies like being lonely. He also repeats the line "Call me some time, ring, ring, ring, please bang my line." These lines show that Tyler is desperate for any kind of human connection, regardless of how superficial it may seem.
The overall message of "911 / Mr. Lonely" is that even though Tyler may seem successful and popular on the surface, he still struggles with feelings of isolation and rejection. He uses humor to mask his pain, but in reality, he just wants someone to check in on him and show him some love.

well, in this song he's basically talking about how he uses money and his ego to cope with his own loneliness, and CMIYGL is basically him bragging the whole time, which is interesting considering Igor came right before it and it was all about a failed relationship. And throughout CMIYGL, Tyler also hints, in the midst of all the bragging, about yet another relationship that went wrong. He only really expands on it in WILSHIRE, but you can get glimpses about what was going on in songs like CORSO and I THOUGHT YOU WANTED TO DANCE. Here are some of the lyrics that made me link this song to his behavior in the newest album:
911/Mr. Lonely:
I know you sick of me talkin' 'bout cars
But what the fuck else do you want from me?
That is the only thing keepin' me company
Purchase some things until I'm annoyed
These items is fillin' the void
Been fillin' it for so long
I don't even know if it's shit I enjoy
CORSO:
Don't give a fuck, you left my heart twerkin'
Movin', losin', grip on my doings
Eyes is cryin' on the jet, cruisin
'Bout to spend millions just to fill voids up
Drama, I need you, can you turn the noise up?
//
Turn the fuckin' noise up, ah, my heart broken
Remember I was rich so I bought me some new emotions
And a new boat 'cause I rather cry in the ocean
SWEET/ I THOUGHT YOU WANTED TO DANCE:
The fuck do he got that I don't got a lot of?
There go my ego again, that's the problem
The fuck you expect? I go get what I want
I want you to say you picked me with your voice
I'm twenty-five up, but I can't buy your choice
MASSA:
Yeah, I purchase more wheels when I feel like I'm third-wheelin'
//
Everyone I ever loved had to be loved in the shadows
Tug-o-war with X and Y felt like a custody battle
Felt like the boat goin' down, it felt like I'm missin' a paddle
Might buy that crib in Seattle, covered in grass, lichen, gravel (Yeah)
It come with two boats and cattle, I'm livin' sweet ain't you heard?
and obviously WILSHIRE.
