Bullshit
clipping feat. jalene goodwin Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Patron bottle empty on the floor of the Maybach
Leaking liquor slowly on a red stain weave track
Bentley curtains drawn see the stained glass
Chardonnay and Jesus, broken Reese's Pieces
Broken piece of Alanis Morissette poster mostly unnoticed
Covered over with Weezy and Ricky Rose's and stripper booty midtip drill
Midriff killin' the strut across the floor to guerrilla pimp, filament glow
Lone pole, lone dancer, lone patron
Heavy bass and 808 thud, plus breakfast buffet
Sausage, eggs, and orange juice box
Tour jete, on stage, Goldilocks, airborne, fishnets
Bleach-scented air, peach-scented hair
Nair-scented seat, outside the sun rise repeats the usual
Armor All on the woodgrain, morning again

Jalene Goodwin and Daveed Diggs:
The night is full of stars (Sunroof open)
If I had one (Wind in the face), would you want it?
(Money in the mouth, strange metal taste)
The headlights on these cars (Bullshit)
I am walking (Can't see nothing), this is bullshit (Can't see nothing)

Daveed Diggs:
Umbrella in a drink, under an umbrella on a beach towel
Brought by a set of big tits for a tip
Interchangeable Caribbean island
High-end sandals, striped sun burnt feet, French tips
Plastic ash trays, half ashed blunt
Hennessy orange in the afternoon sun
Rolex with more diamonds than gears
Ice sculpture inexplicably solid for years
Rainbow in the pool spray
Dude ill fitting, swimsuit, Gucci
Grill glare barely visible, no grin
Air sticky, hot water, still no swimming
Thousand thread count on the sheets
Jacuzzi bubbles in the bathroom, bubbly
On a heart-shape ice in a bucket
Platinum rope haphazard on the dresser like, "Fuck it"

Jalene Goodwin and Daveed Diggs:
The night is full of stars (White-collared shirt)
If I had one (Open to the Third Reich), would you want it?
(Pass security, don't say nothing)
The headlights on these cars (Bullshit)
I am walking (Can't see nothing), this is bullshit (Can't see nothing)

Daveed Diggs:
Gold flex in the concrete
Black gum with tread pattern from fresh sneaks
Gator boots clock paired with stiletto click
Cocked Wesson in a holster on a cop's hip
151 in an Aquafina bottle
Fitted cap to the side, catch the waddle on the liquor legs, neon flicker, glitter in the air
Powder in a bag, moving sidewalk to drab carpet with a floral pattern
Seventies chic to the panel walls
Sweat condensing on the windows, alcohol
And ammonia for the vomit puddle on the tile
Pipe to the lips, teeth missing from a smile
Clammy handshakes, pinky ring obsidian
A sequin on a plastic leaf reflecting what it sees
And about a million twisted faces floating over strained neck veins
Popping from adrenaline and wrapped about with fake chains

Nights to the stars, party and bullshit
Bacardi for the bitches, sip some rock by the pool shit
Cued up for the pool stick
You got to figure these triggers is going to pull shit, cool it
This some cool shit, party and bullshit
Fingers twisted like "What the fuck you going to do?" shit
Nights full of stars, can't see nothing, can't see nothing

Jalene Goodwin and Daveed Diggs:
The night is full of stars (Glass mostly empty)
If I had one (Night 'most done), would you want it?
(Eyes red, skin pale, ain't no sun)




The headlights on these cars (Bullshit)
I am walking (Can't see nothing), this is bullshit (Can't see nothing)

Overall Meaning

The song "Bullshit" by clipping featuring Jalene Goodwin is a vividly descriptive and unflinching look at the world of excess and debauchery that many wealthy people indulge in. The song paints a picture of a luxurious lifestyle filled with high-end cars, expensive liquor, lavish parties, and beautiful women. However, the lyrics are not celebratory; they are tinged with a sense of emptiness and dissatisfaction. The singer and Jalene Goodwin's character express their frustration with this superficial way of life, which they see as nothing more than a facade hiding deeper issues.


The first verse describes a scene in which a patron bottle is empty on the floor of a Maybach, leaking liquor onto a red stain weave track while Bentley curtains are drawn to obscure the view of a stained glass. The chorus expresses frustration with the facade of this lifestyle and inability to see through it as the character walks blind in the night. The second verse delves deeper into the superficiality and emptiness of this lifestyle, with descriptions of interchangeable Caribbean islands, sexy waitstaff, and luxury timepieces with more diamonds than gears. The chorus repeats the same theme of frustration with this lifestyle.


The final verse paints a bleaker picture of the partygoers, with references to powder in a bag, sweat condensing on the windows, alcohol, and ammonia for vomit puddles on the tile. The chorus repeats a final time, with the characters expressing a sense of being lost in the night, unable to see anything beyond the facade of wealth and excess.
