Loneliness and Superficial Connections in 'I Don't Rly Like U'

ROLE MODEL's song 'I Don't Rly Like U' delves into the complexities of modern relationships, particularly those formed out of loneliness rather than genuine affection. The repetitive chorus, 'U don't really like me, I don't really like u, We're just really lonely, We don't got nothing to do,' underscores the emptiness and superficiality of these connections. The lyrics suggest that both parties are aware of their lack of true feelings for each other but continue the relationship to fill a void in their lives.

The verses add depth to this theme by exploring the emotional struggles and insecurities that accompany such relationships. The line 'I'm high so I can't feel my body' hints at using substances to numb emotional pain, while 'That fake confidence is like a hobby' suggests a facade of self-assurance masking deeper insecurities. The mention of months like November, December, and January adds a temporal dimension, indicating a prolonged period of emotional turmoil. The artist's candid admission, 'I think a girl like you would really help, I'm getting pretty bored living in hell,' reveals a desperate search for relief from his emotional suffering.

The song also touches on the superficial nature of modern interactions. Lines like 'They too obsessed with what you wear' and 'Stop asking questions bout' my hair' criticize the focus on appearances rather than meaningful conversations. The mention of a girl with a 'thing for getting choked' and 'too much whiskey in her throat' further highlights the unhealthy coping mechanisms people adopt to deal with their loneliness and emotional pain. Through 'I Don't Rly Like U,' ROLE MODEL paints a poignant picture of the hollow and often destructive nature of relationships formed out of loneliness and desperation.
