Jocelyn Flores
xxxtentacion Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I know you so well, so well
I mean, I can do anything that he can
I've been pretty

I know you're somewhere, somewhere
I've been trapped in my mind girl, just holding on
I don't wanna pretend there's something, we're nothing
I've been stuck thinking 'bout her, I can't hold back

I'm in pain, wanna put ten shots in my brain
I've been tripping 'bout some things, can't change
Suicidal, same time I'm tame
Picture this, in bed, get a phone call
Girl that you fucked with killed herself
That was this summer and nobody helped
And ever since then, man, I hate myself
Wanna fucking end it
Pessimistic
All wanna see me with no pot to piss in
But niggas been excited 'bout the grave I'm digging
Having conversations about my haste decisions
Fucking sickening
At the same time, memory surfaced through the grapevine
'Bout my uncle playing with a slipknot
Post traumatic stress got me fucked up
Been fucked up since a couple months they had a nigga locked up

I be feeling pain, I be feeling pain just to hold on
And I don't feel the same, I'm so numb
I be feeling pain, I be feeling pain just to hold on
And I don't feel the same, I'm so numb

I know you so well, I know you well




I mean, I can do anything that he can
I've been pretty

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to xxxtentacion's "Jocelyn Flores" explore themes of pain, loss, and trauma. The song is named after a young woman who took her own life while visiting the artist in Florida, and the opening line "I know you so well, so well" suggests a deep connection between xxxtentacion and Jocelyn. The line "I've been pretty" could be interpreted as a reference to his success as a musician, but this is quickly undercut by the next line "I know you're somewhere, somewhere/I've been trapped in my mind girl, just holding on." This hints at the darker side of fame, and the toll it can take on an artist's mental health.


The lyrics become more intense as xxxtentacion describes his suicidal thoughts: "I'm in pain, wanna put ten shots in my brain/I've been tripping 'bout some things, can't change." Despite this, he also feels a sense of helplessness and guilt over Jocelyn's suicide, which he puts into words when he sings "Girl that you fucked with killed herself/That was this summer and nobody helped/And ever since then, man, I hate myself/Wanna fucking end it." The final lines of the song, repeated twice, are a seemingly disconnected but haunting repetition of the opening lyrics: "I know you so well, I know you well/I mean, I can do anything that he can/I've been pretty."


Overall, "Jocelyn Flores" is a deeply emotional and personal song that explores the complexities of grief and mental illness. The lyrics suggest that fame and success do not necessarily protect an artist from these struggles, and that even when they seem to have it all, they can still feel lost and alone.
