You
blackbear Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just used my last one percent to text you, that shit wasn't worth it
LAX to JFK, I probably miss on purpose
Funny how when I don't care, these feelings all resurface
2016 was catastrophic, I deserved it
Just thankful that it's over
Just grateful that it's through
I don't think that it's the flu
I got a table at the Nice Guy
Got a bottle of this Ace
You and your girls drank all my liquor
And y'all ain't even say thanks, hoe
I would wish you the best but you've already had it
You've already had it, baby
I would wish you the best but you've already
Uh, you already had it, babe
(Oh, oh)
Uh, lately I been feeling so dead in my own skin and it's a problem, I admit it
When I look into the mirror, that ain't me, that's someone different
Reminiscing, had a vision
Getting married, having kids
And let's be honest, only thing I'm raising is these fucking digits so
And all these rumors that you bitches start are probably true, I did it
Feeding lines of blow to models off a mirror in the kitchen
It's ironic and specific
Can't say they never saw themselves
Starting up problems with addiction, oh
I would wish you the best but you've already had it
You've already had it, baby
I wish you the best but you've already
Uh, you already had it, babe
Uh, you already had it, babe
Uh, you already had it, babe
Just used my last one percent to text you, that shit wasn't worth it
LAX to JFK I probably miss on purpose
Funny how when I don't care, these feelings all resurface
2016 was catastrophic, I deserved it
Just thankful that it's over
The lyrics to Blackbear's "You" convey a sense of regret, nostalgia and closure. The artist speaks of texting an old love interest with the last 1% of his phone battery, questioning if it was even worth it. He then references wanting to miss his flight from LAX to JFK on purpose, indicative of his feelings of unease with the present, and a desire to revisit the past. He talks about how he only starts experiencing emotions when he stops caring and how 2016 was catastrophic, mentioning that he deserved it. There's a sense of mourning for what could have been, as the artist reminisces about his desire to get married and raise a family. However, he's forced to accept that the only things he's raising are his earnings. The song highlights a sense of conflict between the life the artist wants to lead, and the life he's living.
The chorus serves as a reminder that he can't wish his love interest the best because she's already had the best. It's a sentiment that sounds like a self-rebuke, as if he's lamenting his own shortcomings. The second verse delves into darker territory as Blackbear addresses rumors about his drug use and the lifestyle he leads. He talks about feeding models lines of blow off a kitchen mirror, and how they're problems with addiction. The song seems to be an exploration of his psyche and the self-destructive tendencies he may possess, but it also showcases remorse and recognition of the tough lessons learnt.

I used to have aspirations of getting married and starting a family.
And let's be honest, only thing I'm raising is these fucking digits so

And all these rumors that you bitches start are probably true, I did it
The rumors you and your associates spread about me are likely accurate, I'm guilty.
Feeding lines of blow to models off a mirror in the kitchen
I was providing cocaine to models and they were snorting it off a mirror in my kitchen.
It's ironic and specific, can't say they never saw themselves starting up problems with addiction, oh
There's a cruel irony to see models who were snorting cocaine off a mirror also becoming addicted to the substance.
