xxxtentacion Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

How did you get here?
I'm drunk and confused
I tried to be patient with you
Yeah
High up, but you fall back down

Trapped in a concept
Falsely accused, misused and misled
Bitch, I'm hoping you fucking rest in peace
(I tried to be patient with you)
(Yeah)
(High up) Now the fact that I'm alone is fucking comforting
And I can't seem to shake this fucking feeling in my
(How did you get here) Cold shoulder, heart broken, misspoken
I'm cut open, her fingers in all my stab wounds
And if she could, she'd probably dance
On my grave, inside my head
I see your face, I fucking hate
That I love you still
(High up) yeah
(But you fall back down)

(How did you get here) carry on, life flies, so just carry on
With this pain inside of my chest
Got no choice but to carry on, uh
Carry on, life flies, so just carry on
With this pain inside of my chest
Got no choice but to carry on, uh
Carry on, life flies, so just carry on
With this pain inside of my chest
Got no choice but to carry on, uh
Yeah

How did you get here?
I'm drunk and confused




I tried to be patient with you, yeah
High up, but you fall back down

He expresses his attempt at patience, indicating that the person he was in the relationship with may have caused him a level of frustration, leading to his current state. The line "High up, but you fall back down" suggests that he may have been in a good place in his life, but something has caused him to spiral.


The second verse delves deeper into the struggles he faces, being trapped in a negative mindset where he feels falsely accused and misled. He expresses the pain and hate he feels towards the person he loves, which is a somber contrast with the bittersweet memories he has of them. The chorus repeats the line "Carry on," emphasizing the struggle he faces every day with the pain inside his chest. The repetition of this line acts as a reminder that although life flies by, he must carry on and deal with the pain.
