Low Life
jamskillet Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

These ups and downs they keep me in check
Drink too much and I prolly need help
Don't have no friends but I like it like that
Keep to myself to the mother fucking end
If I die right now would anything change
Cuz time like this that I can't be saved
I take my chances and hope I wake up
We don't gotta talk about it I'll be okay
Cause I been doing this a long time
If it's not obvious I'm prolly chugging cheap wine
And our lives prolly followed by some coke lines
If it ain't that then I swear ain't never gonna feel life
I just like to party by my lonely in my own mind
Cause when I'm sober I just feel like ima low life
I hear the devil in me telling me to hold tight
I just wish he would tell me everything is all fine
But I know this ends in fire

These ups and downs they keep me in check
I drink too much and I prolly need help
Don't have no friends but I like it like that
Keep to myself to the mother fucking end
If I die right now would anything change
Cause it's times like this that I can't be saved
I'll take my chances and hope I wake up
We ain't gotta talk it about it I'll be okay
Cause everybody going through things
And tell me you ain't got your buddies you get loose with
Cause life's a lesson just don't be afraid to stool it
How many fails will it take to improvement
Cause I'm so so sick of falling down
And crawling back up like it's all I know how
Put my headphones on cuz I like to drown out
Everyone around me cuz I only like it loud

These ups and downs they put me in check
Don't have no friends but I like it like that
Keep to myself till the motherfucking end
I don't understand I don't wanna see what's next
And if I die right now would anything even change
It's times like this that I, I can't be saved

These ups and downs they keep me in check
I drink too much and I prolly need help
Don't have no friends but I like it like that
Keep to myself to the mother fucking end
If I die right now would anything change
Cuz it's times like this that I can't be saved
I take my chances and hope I wake up
We ain't gotta talk about it I'll be okay

And I'll go down in flames but what about us
Will we meet again and will you give up
No I can't hide who I am it's gotta be enough





This isn't 100% accurate this is the best I could
Hear so I apologise in advance if it isn't very accurate

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Low Life" by Jamskillet reflect the struggles of someone who is dealing with emotional and mental turmoil in their life. The singer is dealing with ups and downs, drinking too much, and feeling as though they don't have any friends. Despite these challenges, the singer is determined to keep going and take their chances, even if it means going down in flames.


One of the central themes of the song is the idea of self-isolation. The singer prefers to keep to themselves and doesn't feel comfortable around other people. This could stem from a lack of trust in others or social anxiety. The line "Don't have no friends but I like it like that" is a telling indication of the singer's mindset.


The song also touches on the idea of mortality and the fleeting nature of life. The singer wonders if their death would even matter, and acknowledges that they might not be able to be saved in these rough times. However, they are determined to keep going and make the most of the time they have.

I can't conceal my true self, it has to be sufficient for others to accept me
