It's Quiet In Beverly Hills

YUNGBLUD's song "It's Quiet In Beverly Hills" delves into the often hidden and silent struggles of living in a place perceived as glamorous and perfect. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of the artist's internal battles and the superficiality that can pervade such an environment. The opening lines, "I'm sat inside a goldfish tank / Where people fix themselves with rubber bands," suggest a feeling of entrapment and the use of temporary fixes to cope with deeper issues. The metaphor of a goldfish tank highlights the sense of being observed and judged, while the rubber bands symbolize the fragile and temporary solutions people use to mask their pain.

The recurring line, "It's quiet in Beverly Hills / I'm dying in Beverly Hills," juxtaposes the serene exterior of Beverly Hills with the internal turmoil the artist experiences. This contrast emphasizes the disconnect between appearance and reality, a common theme in YUNGBLUD's work. The mention of "silent suicide" and the contemplation of such thoughts on a ledge that's only two feet high further illustrate the depth of the artist's despair, despite the seemingly trivial nature of the situation.

The song also touches on the superficial relationships and materialism that can dominate such environments. Lines like "I got friends who fuck their friends and play pretend / So they can dream again" and "They buy their hearts from online shopping" critique the hollow nature of these interactions and the reliance on material possessions to fill emotional voids. The repeated declaration of love, "I'll love you all of my life / Until you close your eyes for good," serves as a poignant reminder of the enduring nature of true affection amidst the chaos and superficiality.

"It's Quiet In Beverly Hills" is a powerful commentary on the hidden struggles and superficiality that can exist in seemingly perfect places. YUNGBLUD's raw and honest lyrics invite listeners to look beyond appearances and recognize the deeper issues that often go unnoticed.
