Choose (feat. Harry Fraud)

Lil Peep's song 'Choose (feat. Harry Fraud)' delves into the themes of choice, hedonism, and the consequences of a fast-paced lifestyle. The repetitive chorus, 'You choose, and I choose, we both choose,' underscores the mutual decisions made in relationships and life, often leading to indulgence and escapism. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a lifestyle filled with drug use, casual sex, and a general sense of apathy towards the consequences, encapsulated in lines like 'Good luck, I don’t give a fuck, do you?' This reflects a nihilistic attitude, where the characters in the song are aware of their choices but remain indifferent to their outcomes.

The song also explores the dynamics of a tumultuous relationship. Lil Peep's lyrics, 'You told me you love me, you're lying / I swear that I ain't even trying,' suggest a lack of genuine emotional connection and trust. The relationship is portrayed as transactional and superficial, driven by physical desires and substance use rather than emotional depth. This is further emphasized by the line, 'Whatever I'm selling, she buyin',' indicating a relationship based on convenience and mutual exploitation rather than true affection.

Cultural references to drug use, such as 'Dutch Master, smoke like a vacuum' and 'Did half the coke in the bathroom,' highlight the prevalence of substance abuse in Lil Peep's narrative. These references are not just about the act of using drugs but also about the altered states of mind and the temporary escape they provide. The song captures the essence of a lifestyle where choices are made in the moment, often leading to a cycle of temporary highs and inevitable lows. Lil Peep's raw and unfiltered portrayal of this lifestyle offers a glimpse into the darker side of hedonism and the emotional void that often accompanies it.
