XXXTENTACION Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A collection of nightmares, thoughts, and real life situations I've lived
17 is the number tattooed on the right side of my head
My own personal number
Soon to be explained in future interviews or instances
By listening to this album, you are literally
And I cannot stress this enough
Literally
Entering my mind
And if you are not willing to accept my emotion
And hear my words fully
Do not listen
I do not value your money
I value your acceptance and loyalty
Here is my pain and thoughts put into words
I put my all into this
In the hopes that it will help cure
Or at least numb your depression
I love you
Thank you for listening
Enjoy
These lyrics are a preface to XXXTentacion's debut album, also titled "17", and they provide some insight into the album's content and X's personal beliefs. The number 17 is significant to him as it represents his mother's birthday and also marks his own personal growth and evolution as an artist. The album is essentially a musical chronicle of his own experiences and emotional struggles, providing a window into his mind and soul.
X acknowledges that the album may not be for everyone, as it is an intensely personal and emotional expression of his pain and thoughts. He values authenticity and emotional honesty over commercial success and monetary gain, and hopes that his listeners will be open to his perspective and message. The album deals with themes of depression, anxiety, and trauma, but X hopes that it will provide some comfort or solace to those who can relate to his struggles.
Overall, these lyrics set the stage for a deeply introspective and emotionally-driven album, one that is not afraid to confront issues of mental health and personal turmoil. By inviting listeners into his mind and heart, X hopes to build a sense of community and acceptance, while also showcasing his unique artistic vision.

It's crazy. It's like he wrote this album for us for his death. Like he knew it was coming.
He explains to us. (The explanation)
He talks about how he feels now that someone he loved is gone. (Jocelyn Flores)
We were so obsessed with him that now we're depressed that he's gone. (Depression and Obsession)
People are always commenting that they talk to him in their dreams and that he's saying "I'm in a better place now".
^^(Everybody Dies in Their Nightmares)
We want to get Revenge on the person that killed X. (Revenge)
He was trying to tell us to save him before he goes. (Save Me)
X is now dead. Physically and Mentally. (Dead Inside)
We are all so shocked at how powerful our love was for him, that we're shocked at our self for knowing you could love a person so much that now we're hurting. (Fuck Love)
But it doesn't matter because now we got no choice but to move on, Carry on. (Carry On)
He died in Flordia. Orlando is in Flordia. (Orlando)
Then his outro. Were he says bye. (Ayala Outro)
I know that that's not what the songs are about or meant to be, but if you really think about it, It all connects...

My collection of nightmares, thoughts and real life situations that I have lived.
17 is the number tattooed on the right side of my head.
My own personal number.
It will soon be explained in future interviews or instances.
By listening to this album, you're literally, and I can't emphasize enough, literally, going into my mind,
And if you're not willing to accept my emotion and listen to my words completely, don't listen.
I don't value your money.
I value your acceptance and loyalty.
Here is my pain and thoughts put into words.
I put everything in this, hoping it will help cure or at least numb your depression.
I love you.
Thanks for listening,
Enjoy yourself.
