Onfroy's most popular song to-date is Look at Me, which was originally released in 2016 and re-released in 2017, and peaked at number 42 on US Billboard Hot 100. The single helped him gain more popularity in early 2017 due to accusations of Canadian rapper Drake using a similar rap flow in his then unreleased song, now released under the name "KMT", that he previewed at a concert in Amsterdam featuring British rapper Giggs.
In July 2016, Onfroy was arrested and charged with robbery and assault with a deadly weapon. After posting bail in early October of the same year, while awaiting trial, Onfroy was arrested again later that month on charges of false imprisonment, witness tampering, and aggravated battery of a pregnant victim. Onfroy was released from jail on bail on March 26, 2017.
Onfroy announced his debut studio album, 17 on July 30, 2017. The album released on August 25, 2017. It features 11 tracks and includes the lead single Revenge.
Onfroy was shot and killed on June 18, 2018, in Deerfield Beach, Florida.
Dead Inside
xxxtentacion Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Spend a lot of time stuck in this head of mine
Under the assumption love is dead, already
Just let me be here
Where was I?
When he was feeling on you with his hands, at night?
Seen the vivid pictures in my head, at night
It left me in tears
When he was feeling on you with his hands?
Seen the vivid pictures in my head
I'm under the assumption love is dead
Where was I?
When he was feeling on you with his hands?
I'm under the assumption love is dead
Seen the vivid pictures in my head
The lyrics of "Dead Inside" by xxxtentacion convey the artist's emotional state after experiencing the betrayal of his lover. He introspectively reflects on the time he has spent alone, feeling trapped within his own thoughts. X is under the assumption that love is dead, indicating that the experiences he has gone through have damaged his trust and belief in love. The lyrics "just let me be here" imply that he is not looking for any kind of closure or reunion; instead, he wants to be left alone with his pain.
The chorus of the song repeats the question, "Where was I?", indicating that X feels he has been emotionally absent while his partner cheated on him. He continues to recount the disturbing images he witnessed in his mind, which left him in tears. The vivid pictures serve as a metaphor for the intense emotional pain he is experiencing. The line "I'm under the assumption love is dead" is repeated three times, further emphasizing the loss of hope and love. The song's title, "Dead Inside," suggests that X's betrayal has left him feeling empty and emotionally dead.
