LIPS

In 'LIPS,' jxdn delves into the emotional chaos and self-doubt that often accompany tumultuous relationships. The song opens with a poignant declaration of not wanting to hear a goodbye or see tears, setting the stage for a narrative filled with pain and confusion.

This sentiment is further emphasized by the repeated acknowledgment of being 'crazy,' suggesting a deep internal struggle.

The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a relationship marred by deceit and emotional manipulation. Phrases like 'Always fucking with my head' and 'you always fucking lie' reveal a cycle of mistrust and hurt.

The repeated refrain of being a 'mess' juxtaposed with the perfection of the partner's lips highlights a profound sense of inadequacy and unworthiness. The artist's willingness to 'do anything' for the relationship to be perfect, despite feeling 'not worth it,' encapsulates the desperation and longing for validation. The song's closing lines, questioning whether the partner would miss them if they said goodbye, leave the listener with a lingering sense of unresolved tension and heartache.
