Navigating Personal Struggles in 'Galaxy'
The song 'Galaxy' by YoungBoy Never Broke Again (NBA YoungBoy) delves into the artist's personal struggles with relationships, fame, and inner demons. The lyrics paint a picture of a tumultuous relationship where the artist feels wronged and misunderstood. The repeated line 'Shawty make it hard for me, living in this galaxy' suggests that the difficulties in his romantic relationship are making it challenging for him to navigate life, metaphorically referred to as a 'galaxy'. The artist's mother's advice highlights the complications that come with attention and fame, implying that these external pressures exacerbate his relationship issues.
The song also touches on themes of substance abuse and violence, which are used as coping mechanisms for the pain the artist experiences. The 'conversation with the demon all day' could be a metaphor for the internal battle he faces, possibly with addiction or mental health struggles. The mention of 'taking drugs making the pain go way' further emphasizes the use of substances to numb his emotional turmoil. The violent imagery in the lyrics reflects the harsh realities of the environment he's been a part of and the survival mentality that comes with it.
Amidst the chaos, there's a desire for escape and peace. The artist expresses a wish to 'live where ain't anyone totted' and to 'be all alone', indicating a yearning for solitude and a simpler life, possibly away from the spotlight and the streets. The reference to moving to Dakota symbolizes this longing for a fresh start and a quieter existence. The song concludes with a sense of resignation, as the artist accepts the end of a relationship and the need to move forward without looking back.
