Unlucky Me

“Unlucky Me” by $uicideBoy$ delves into the internal conflicts and struggles faced by the artists, Ruby da Cherry and $lick $loth. The song opens with a reflection on their lifestyle, marked by a sense of disillusionment and a yearning for normalcy. Despite their success and the attention they receive, they express a desire to escape the chaos and live a more ordinary life. This sentiment is encapsulated in the line, “the only thing that I want is to be a fucking normie,” highlighting their struggle with the pressures and expectations of fame.

The lyrics also touch on themes of mental health and substance abuse. The artists candidly discuss their battles with mental illness and the coping mechanisms they resort to, such as drug use. Lines like “Sorry that’s my mental illness, need to pop me a pill before I finish these lyrics” reveal a raw and unfiltered look into their lives. This vulnerability is a hallmark of $uicideBoy$'s music, as they often use their platform to shed light on the darker aspects of their experiences.

Additionally, the song reflects on the artists' past and their journey to the present. They mention their humble beginnings and the struggles they faced, such as coming in last and focusing on the past. The imagery of drifting down the highway until running out of gas symbolizes a sense of aimlessness and the search for direction. Despite their success, they grapple with feelings of being unrecognized and misunderstood, as seen in the line, “Don’t wanna be recognized but I ain’t wearing a mask.” This juxtaposition of seeking attention while wanting to remain anonymous underscores the complexity of their emotions and the duality of their existence.
