XXXTentacion Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Why the only time I feel alive is when I wanna die?
Yeah, tellin' me, "You can be the one," yeah
And, honestly, I don't really buy it, yeah
Hoe, shut up, be quiet
Just spend the night and suck dick, it's up
Yes, my diamonds white like some dice, like some rice
Just like spice, shawty entice
It got price, I don't check, I just buy
My bih bi-, fuck your lil' bih
Pussy so fye, she on my dick
That's what I like

Why the only time I feel alive is when I wanna die?
Yeah, tellin' me, "You can be the one," yeah
And, honestly, I don't really buy it, yeah
Hoe, shut up, be quiet, yeah (yeah)
Hoe, shut up, be quiet, yeah

Killin' 'em makin' me feel alive again ('gain)
Niggas so pussy, yeah, they ovulent (yeah)
Pull up, they run it, I get
All of the money, my mouth
Flooded in diamonds, and it's obvious (uh, yes)
I'ma beat a bad bitch, back break her (uh)
Dick in her mouth, she say it taste like suckin' banana
Or Tropicana or Fanta
I bust all up in her, then I'm skatin' (I'm skatin', uh)
Back to the block, I'm posted with ten toes
Skin-headed niggas, I'm murkin' shit, bitch, don't
Think for a minute we close, I just player talk smooth
To you ass simple hoes, I'm that nigga
Ten rack stuffies in pockets of my denim
Damn, bitch, my jeans are carrying your Civic
Bitch, I get paid to talk in your city
Think you fuck with me, nigga, yeah, you silly

Why the only time I feel alive is when I wanna die?
Yeah, tellin' me, "You can be the one," yeah
And, honestly, I don't really buy it, yeah
Hoe, shut up, be quiet, yeah
Hoe, shut up, be quiet, yeah

The only time I feel alive is when I wanna die
Yeah, tellin' me, "You can be the one," yeah
And, honestly, I don't really buy it
Hoe, shut up, be quiet
Yeah

Hoe, shut up, be quiet

Overall Meaning

The lyrics in “The Only Time I Feel Alive” by Craig Xen and Xxxtentacion are dark and, at face value, can be a bit challenging to interpret. The theme seems to touch on feeling alive during the darkest times of life. The lyrics “Why the only time I feel alive is when I wanna die?” could mean that the individuals involved are only able to find meaning in life when they are feeling extreme emotional or physical vulnerability. It is as if they feel that their emotions could only be seen and understood when they reach this point. As the song progresses, there seems to be a willingness to do anything to make themselves feel alive, even if it is dangerous, such as saying they will murder others or wishing harm on oneself.


That being said, the song is not just about death and darkness. There is also a theme of rebellion and self-confidence mixed into the lyrics. Craig Xen’s talk of wealth and diamonds, along with Xxxtentacion’s confidence in being able to “beat a bad bitch, back break her”, show a certain arrogance and self-assuredness. It’s possible that the artists intended to convey that one can find purpose in focusing on material possessions or carnal pleasures, though it comes with a price. In a sense, they may be saying that they are only able to feel alive when they indulge in reckless behaviors or push the envelope. This could explain the lines “I bust all up in her, then I’m skatin’ (I’m skatin’, uh)/Back to the block, I’m posted with ten toes”.


Overall, there are several elements at play in “The Only Time I Feel Alive”. On the surface, it may seem like a song about a depressed individual contemplating death. However, there is a layer of rebellion and self-assuredness in the lyrics, which may suggest that the artists are trying to convey a deeper message about feeling alive by pushing the envelope and indulging in pleasures that may be unhealthy or dangerous. It’s a song that can be read and interpreted in different ways, depending on one’s perspective.
