Save That Shit

Lil Peep's 'Save That Shit' is a raw and emotional track that delves into the themes of regret, toxic relationships, and the pursuit of material wealth as a hollow solution to deeper issues. The song's lyrics paint a picture of a tumultuous relationship where the artist acknowledges his own destructive behavior and the pain it causes to his partner. The repeated line 'Fuck my life, can't save that, girl' suggests a sense of hopelessness and self-awareness of his inability to change or be saved by someone else.

The chorus, 'All she wants is payback for the way I always play that shit,' indicates a cycle of hurt and revenge within the relationship. Lil Peep's recognition that his partner seeks retribution for the emotional damage he's inflicted adds a layer of complexity to the narrative. He contrasts himself with 'other motherfuckers,' claiming he can offer wealth and a different lifestyle, but there's an underlying acknowledgment that material riches cannot fix the emotional damage or fill the void in their relationship. The line 'I can take you there, but baby, you won't make it back' hints at a dangerous allure, a journey that might lead to more harm than good.

The song's bridge, 'Down another lonely road, I go,' speaks to the artist's sense of isolation and the repetitive nature of his struggles. The question 'Do you wanna glow? Baby we could glow' seems to offer a glimmer of hope or escape, yet it's unclear whether this is a genuine offer or a fleeting desire. Lil Peep's music often explored themes of depression, addiction, and existential angst, and 'Save That Shit' is no exception. It's a poignant reflection of his inner turmoil and the complexities of human relationships, underscored by his unique blend of emo and hip-hop influences.
