Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What is it in me that you're seeing?
Why do you never want to see me?
Tell me honestly what you're feeling
I've been needing you more as of lately
From myself, I need saving
These drugs got me fuckin' shaking
Now I feel like you hate me
Everybody fuckin' hates me
I just really fuckin' miss you
I hope that you can say the same thing
You woke me up when you were leaving
In all my dreams when I'm sleeping
All this love that I keep bleeding
But what is it for? My heart beating
You're running through my mind, that's why I'm geeking
Someone bothering you? I'll leave 'em leaking
Used to see you in class, now you don't see me
Now that we're here, what are you thinking?
What the fuck are you thinking?
Yeah, bitch
What the fuck are you thinking?
What is it in me that you're seeing?
Why do you never want to see me?
Tell me honestly what you're feeling
What the fuck are you thinking?
What the fuck are you thinking?
Why do you never want to see me?
Tell me honestly what you're feeling
Everybody fuckin' hates me
Gray$cale’s song “wtf” is an emotional outpouring of questions, confusion, and hurt directed at a loved one. The song’s opening line, “What the fuck are you thinking?” sets the accusatory and frustrated tone of the lyrics. Gray$cale is trying to understand why his lover ignores him, what he has done wrong, and why he is no longer a priority in their life. He is feeling vulnerable and insecure, and is desperate to know what his lover is feeling and thinking.
The second verse of the song reveals that Gray$cale is struggling with addiction, perhaps in an effort to cope with his feelings of emptiness and loneliness. He admits that he needs saving, but the drugs he is taking are only causing him to shake and feel more isolated. In a vulnerable moment, he admits to wanting his lover to be his “baby” and misses them dearly. He is haunted by memories of his lover leaving, and dreams of them constantly. His heart is “bleeding” with love for this person, but he cannot understand why they seem so indifferent towards him now.
The chorus is a repetition of the opening question, “What the fuck are you thinking?” Gray$cale’s angry and accusatory tone is mixed with longing and heartache. He hopes for a response, a release from the torment he is experiencing. Throughout the song, he seems to be desperate for answers, for honest communication, for a connection he has lost. But he is met with silence, leaving him to question why his love was not enough.
