Cut Myself

Lil Peep's song 'Cut Myself' delves into the artist's internal battle with pain, depression, and the search for temporary relief through substances. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of someone who is trying to escape their emotional turmoil by getting high and immersing themselves in music. The line 'Watch the time go by, all I wanna do is get high' suggests a sense of aimlessness and a desire to numb the pain through drug use. This is a common theme in Lil Peep's music, reflecting his struggles with mental health and addiction.

The chorus, 'Cracking a smile while I cut myself, sometimes it feels like nothing help,' is particularly poignant. It highlights the paradox of appearing fine on the outside while dealing with severe internal pain. The act of self-harm is a cry for help, a way to feel something when everything else seems numb. The mention of prescription drugs and acid as a means to 'take the pain away' further emphasizes the desperation to find any form of relief, even if it's temporary and potentially harmful.

The imagery of 'watch the clouds while I waste away' and 'dripping out the sink' adds a layer of melancholy and hopelessness. It suggests a sense of being lost and disconnected from reality, with the clouds symbolizing a distant, unreachable peace. The line 'No one ever knows what I’m sipping out my drink' underscores the secrecy and isolation that often accompany addiction and mental health struggles. Lil Peep's raw and honest portrayal of his pain resonates with many who face similar battles, making 'Cut Myself' a powerful and relatable piece of music.
