besphrenz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can never say enough, about the time it flies
Flies by, it flies by, it flies by, it flies by
Time flyin' (yuh)
I ain't lyin' (no)
Work [?] (yuh)
You know I'm dyin' (no)
I don't know what time it is, don't ask me (don't ask me)
Hear the bell ring, bitch I'm fuckin' classy (classy)
UberBLACK back to the city in the backseat, yeah, yeah
Boy from the backstreet, ooh
You already know
I cut the line from my bitch
And she tryna hit a mix
Yeah she tryna hit a duo
I'm tryna hit a trio
And one hit the free throw and I'm done with it (yuh)
Tell her roll anotha one cause I'm blunt with it, yuh
Wakin' up, (wakin' up) I could feel the tired eyes (tired eyes)
I can never say enough (say enough), about the time it flies
Flies by (it flies by), it flies by (it flies by),
It flies by (it flies by), it flies by (it flies by)
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Pour some liquor for Lil Peep and Stein (peep, peep)
Life's a bitch but I still keep in mind (keep, keep)
They talk about all the shit that they talk about too, yeah
That's what they do, yeah
Ain't nothin' new, yeah
Never the red pill, gimme the blue, yeah
Lookin' for [?], type-a gimme a clue, yeah, okay
Roll up the past and throw away
Whip in the fast lane, go
Lookin' for the past, but no way
Yeah, I know shit is so, so, so lame
Wakin' up, (wakin' up) I could feel the tired eyes (tired eyes)
I can never say enough (say enough), about the time it flies
Flies by (it flies by), it flies by (it flies by),
It flies by (it flies by), it flies by (it flies by)
The opening lines of "Tired Eyes" by besphrenz seem to be an acknowledgment of the exhaustion that comes from realizing how time has flown by. The singer wakes up with "tired eyes," a physical manifestation of how the passage of time can wear on someone mentally and emotionally. The chorus emphasizes this feeling, with the repetition of the phrase "it flies by" punctuated by the use of the word "never," suggesting that there will never be enough time to fully appreciate life's experiences because they pass by so quickly.
The verses tackle a range of subjects, from the singer's work and personal life to reflections on the passage of time and mentions of Lil Peep and Stein, two artists who died young. The lines about work are particularly poignant, with the use of the word "dying" suggesting that the singer feels suffocated or trapped by their job. The rest of the song touches on various themes, including drug use, romantic entanglements, and the search for meaning. Overall, "Tired Eyes" seems to capture the feeling of being overwhelmed by the rapid pace of life.
