fleabag
Yungblud Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm just a fleabag
Nobody loves me
Send me to rehab
Somebody touch me
I want to turn back time
I want to fix the way I was designed
Crawl behind my eyes
And kill my stale state of mind

I fade, I fade, and every time
I try to change, to change
I stop

'Cause I'm just a fleabag
Nobody loves me
Send me to rehab
Somebody touch me
I'm not your monkey
I'm not your puppet
I'm just a fleabag
Nobody loves me at all
Hey, hey
Nobody loves me
Hey, hey
Nobody loves me

I dance around the truth
I've been a ballerina boy for you
No matter what I do
You twist my words and get confused

So I fade, I fade
And every time
I try to change, to change




I stop

'Cause I'm just a fleabag
Nobody loves me
Send me to rehab
Somebody touch me
I'm not your monkey
I'm not your puppet
I'm just a fleabag
Nobody loves me at all
Hey, hey
Nobody loves me
Hey, hey
Nobody loves me

I'm just a fleabag
Nobody loves me
Send me to rehab
Somebody touch me
I'm not your monkey
I'm not your puppet
I'm just a fleabag
Nobody loves me at all
Hey, hey
Nobody loves me
Hey, hey
Nobody loves me at all

Overall Meaning

Yungblud's song "Fleabag" is a powerful expression of vulnerability and desperation. The opening lines of the song, "I'm just a fleabag, nobody loves me, send me to rehab, somebody touch me," highlight a feeling of worthlessness and a need for connection. The singer longs for a time when they were different, when they weren't stuck in this stale state of mind. The lyrics "I want to turn back time, I want to fix the way I was designed, crawl behind my eyes, and kill my stale state of mind" show a desire for a clean slate.


The chorus of "Fleabag" repeats the lines "I'm just a fleabag, nobody loves me, send me to rehab, somebody touch me," emphasizing the singer's loneliness and desire for help. The lines "I'm not your monkey, I'm not your puppet" show that the singer is pushing back against being controlled or manipulated by others.


The second verse expresses frustration with a situation where the singer feels like they're not being heard, or where their words are being twisted against them. The singer describes themselves as a "ballerina boy," perhaps emphasizing the fragility of their state of mind.


Overall, "Fleabag" is a powerful expression of vulnerability and the need for connection. The song's repeated use of "nobody loves me" highlights the sense of isolation that the singer is feeling, but the desire for someone to touch them or send them to rehab shows a glimmer of hope that they might be able to find help.

When things were at their very worst:
2 Suns, Cross in the sky, 2 comets will collide = don`t be afraid – repent, accept Lord`s Hand of Mercy.
Scientists will say it was a global illusion.
Beaware – Jesus will never walk in flesh again.
After WW3 – rise of the “ man of peace“ from the East = Antichrist – the most powerful, popular, charismatic and influential leader of all time. Many miracles will be attributed to him. He will imitate Jesus in every conceivable way.
Don`t trust „pope“ Francis = the False Prophet
- will seem to rise from the dead
- will unite all Christian Churches and all Religions as one.
One World Religion = the seat of the Antichrist.
Benedict XVI is the last true pope - will be accused of a crime of which he is totally innocent.

"Arab uprising will spark global unrest – Italy will trigger fall out"

"The time for the schism in the Church is almost here and you must get prepared now"

@@LaurenHulton First of all: Nothing to thank. 🙂


"fantastic person" 🤔


Well...I would never call myself that.😅
However, some of the students I did my A-levels with wrote me that I was one of the nicest guys they knew.

That's probably a bit of an exaggeration, but it won't be so wrong either and of course I was pleased. 🙃


Good night. Maybe we'll meet again?👋
