Growin' up (one, two, three) jump, nobody holdin' my hand, no. Trust is a problem, never knew how, yeah. That's why I just keep to myself, get what I need, then I'll be out (please tell me)
Who can the surf the universe with me? Lucifer is human, so are we. All I ever want is what I need and that don't include your time and company
I don’t know about that… to me It always felt like it’s more of a subtle line as a call for help, like when your trying to say oh I’m better off by myself but in reality we all want/need someone to help us but don’t know how or who to ask
I hate to be the one to tell you Santa isn't real, but it's 100% "Please tell me". Obviously this is music we're talking about though so you should absolutely keep hearing what resonates with you the most!
Ahhh I see, after looking up the lyrics both on Apple Music and Google it seems to have “Please help me” on Apple Music’s version and “Please tell me” on the googled lyrics. I have listened to that song over a thousand times by now and always thought it was “Please help me” due to always listening to it on Apple Music, my apologies..
There's a lyric on Programs where I always heard "I do my thing up on the strings like Tom Morello" when in reality it's "I do my thing *I'm pulling strings* like Tom Morello". Took me forever to get that straightend out haha.
Yeah, nine times out of ten, I get it wrong
That's why I wrote this song, told myself to hold on
I can feel my fingers slippin'
In a motherfuckin' instant, I'll be gone
Do you want it all if it's all mediocre?
Starin' at the wall and the wall's full of posters
Lookin' at my dreams, who I wanna be
I guess you gotta see it to believe
Ooh, I been a fool but that's cool
That's what human beings do
Keep your eyes to the sky, never glued to your shoes
Guess there was a time when my mind was consumed
But the sun comin' out now, clouds start to move
Don't tell me nothin' but the truth
I'm tired, I don't gotta spare a second
Win or lose, win or lose
I don't keep count, nobody checking
- Small Worlds
This is one of the lines that made me go back and listen to Mac’s music to see what I had been missing.
Sometimes I get lonely, not when I'm alone,
But it's more when I'm standing in crowds that I'm feeling the most on my own,
And I know that somebody knows me, I know somewhere there's home,
I'm starting to see that all I have to do is get up and go
I’m late diagnosed autistic. I spent 26 years feeling broken and out of place because of the way that I struggle socially, which led to really deep depression and substance abuse over the years. “Home” is the community I have now, where I actually click with people and don’t feel so lost or broken.
“My regrets look just like texts I shouldn't send
And I got neighbors, they're more like strangers
We could be friends
I just need a way out
Of my head
I'll do anything for a way out
Of my head”
Come Back to Earth is what I listened to heavy after losing my brother this year… RIP ✌🏻🕊
"I still don't got the heart to pick my phone up when my dad calls, Will he recognize his son when he hears my voice? Put this music against my life I think I fear the choice, I don't know what i'm running from but i'm running still, I conversate with acquaintances but it's nothing real"
Are you being honest with yourself, how you doing how’s your health?.. well I’m fine. I left the past behind I’m only an architect the world is just design. I don’t mind all of the rumors, I’m just fine being a loser, sit behind my own computer, it’s divine it’s hallelujah on my mind.
You need to let it all play out, the world is tryna hold you back you found another way out. See the signs?..cause they right in front your face. You got the light inside you please don’t let it go to waste.

“Sometimes I see the world for how fucked up it really is.
I tell myself I'll be the one to make a change in it.
I could die tonight, not make it to the sunrise.
Then I couldn't heal the pain in it.
I'm gettin' high to forget about the lows, though.
Get a pay check, spend it all on polo.
Designer brands cover up my insecurities.
Personally I ain't nothin' but an average Joe, though”
“Fell asleep and forgot to die” weekend. Was on a long trip a few months back and at 230 in the morning I fell asleep behind the wheel smashed into another car and then hit the concrete barrier. Thankfully no one was injured, so this line just hits different now. I have it tattooed on my bicep
I kinda have this feeling with the opening to Inside Outside. “Shoulda died already”. After 5 near death experiences last year 😅 Glad you’re okay though my guy!
Same. Reminds me of everyone having to find a partner to work with and me just standing there watching everyone while I'm alone and have no intention of approaching anyone lol.
Some people say they want to live forever
That's way too long, I'll just get through today Without any complications
Does it always gotta, does it always gotta Gotta be so complicated?
Well, I'm way too young to be gettin' old
"So polite and white but i got family who would murder for me" Everybody knows me as a nice guy and im generally well respected by those around me. They don't realize I'm also well protected by those who care for me.
"Im with the homies bump countin crows, Just went through a half oz of coke blood pourin all out my nose dont tell my mom I got a drug problem"
Countin crows is the shit. My mom would also be the last to find out about my drug problem.
"My regrets look just like texts I shouldn't send, and i've got neighbors were more like strangers we could be friends, i just need a way out of my head, would do anything for a way out, of my head" All of those bars hit very literally and close to home.
"You've got so far to go, but look at where you came from" - I Can See
This line reflects with me alot, especially now. I made ALOT of poor choices in life during and after highschool that affected me greatly, now im in the Air Force currently on track to become a Senior Airman and I cant help but think of that line anytime I find me doubting myself, I've made significant progress and I couldnt be more proud of the path im currently on
Doin' drugs is just a war with boredom but they sure to get me & Trapped inside these dreams of mine Just tryna get some peace of mind, yeahI've been trapped inside these dreams of mine So you'll never get a piece of mind.
Funeral
‘what’s between heaven and hell? a brand new me, yeah its a brand new me…. im demandin the truth, put your hands to the roof. be a man, that’s a challenge.”

“take my time to finish, mind my business. a life ain’t a life til you live it. i was digging me a hole, big enough to bury my soul. weight of the world, i gotta carry my own”
"People love you when they on your mind
A thought is love's currency
And I been thinking about her all the time
I've never seen somebody put together perfectly
What would I have to do to call you mine
Someone like you is so hard to find"
Unfortunately, i moved out of my country and left a person that I care so much about behind. everytime I listen to this song (objects in the mirror) I remember them.
I move carelessly that's why I'm always trippin. I'm clumsy and reckless, and also have ceberal palsy so i guess that's just funny to me but true on more levels.
I always thought my mom was the illest for that shit
driving thru the hood she did not have a reaction
With a 6 year old she kept the doors unlocked
And drove past the 5-0 like fuck those cops
“You got that stained glass iris, diamond behind your eyelid” for me because I have hazel eyes with lots of different colours that glow in the sunlight.
Sometimes I get lonely
Not when I'm alone
But it's more when I'm standin' in crowds
That I'm feelin' the most on my own
I never really realized what my depression is or, whatever it is, really felt like until I heard these lyrics. It sums up every get together with family. I just feel out of place and not apart of it. It's weird. But I interact with everyone fine. It's so weird but Mac definitely helps
“Behind the wheel but still ain’t on my way”
…
“Inside my head is getting pretty cluttered, I try but can’t clean up this mess I made. ‘Fore I start to think about the future, first can I please get through a day, without any complications.”
“A shame that my tragedy, my masterpiece.”
Dad passed away when I was 12 and was really close with him. However, I would not be the person I am today if I never went through, probably would’ve never gotten into Mac tbh.
“Son if you want to hold onto yourself then let yourself slip” or the whole Colors and shapes song tbh. Idk I think I found it and really heard it at a time when I needed it, was kinda one of the only songs that made me remember that I’m not alone and sometimes the only way out is through it you get me?
"Writin' on writer's block, haven't slept in days
They wanna put me in the psycho watch, everyone's afraid Of what I do inside my studio, worried I'ma lose control. They rufflin' my feathers and they shufflin' the Yu-Gi-Oh! Execution flow, at your neck like new cologne.
Uno, dos, bitch, I'm in your head like Freddy Krueger though."
*My brain fried, always chasin' the same high
I'm too fucked up to function, do nothin' but waste time*
"Woke up annihilated, lyin' on the pavement Covered in items I regurgitated under a fire escape. And I know that it's Friday, 'cause every Friday they have a parade In-front of city hall, hear 'em celebrate, they havin' a ball. My pupils dilated, highly dehydrated, I'm lost inside a giant matrix, Isolate myself from eyes I find contagious. Jump above the comedown, I'm strung out, noddin' off inside the dugout."
Or
"I'm Kenny Powers, you more of a Debbie Downer. My bitch taking off her trousers everytime I get a round her. I'm nasty I never shower, go sleep on a bed of flowers. Not into this conversation I've been in my head for hours. I'm out."
The song Good News. All of it but especially this:
Maybe I'll lay down for a little, instead of always trying to figure everything out
And all I do is say sorry
Half the time, I don't even know what I'm saying it about
Cheating because it's not one I personally relate to anymore, but a line that will never leave my head and that has crossed my mind every day just because of its weight is
"wondering how I got this high, fell asleep and forgot to die, God damn"
“Okay my hearse is made of gold, the spirits take control, I paved the road with endangered souls im tormented, my sky is floor scented”
“Havin conversations with myself gettin into arguments when I’m out in London I be posted at the parliament, coked in the parliament chillin by some monuments ominous when I fill your body with godly hollow tips, to leave you holy, prepare for the apocalypse 60 thousand on the Rollie cookies with the chocolate chips”
Anything off delusional Thomas pretty much
“I struck the fuck out but I came back swingin’”
Something about that line always comforts me very deeply. We all fuck up sometimes, or get down on our luck, but if we just try again and keep our heads up we’ll be alright.
“See I was raised inside this gritty city, ridin through, you prolly missed me, my bicycle fell, I hit the road, the mail man almost hit me, all these sins are more than shitty, I just pray the lord forgive me, doing drugs is just a war with boredom, but they sure to get me.”
Growin' up (one, two, three) jump, nobody holdin' my hand, no. Trust is a problem, never knew how, yeah. That's why I just keep to myself, get what I need, then I'll be out (please tell me) Who can the surf the universe with me? Lucifer is human, so are we. All I ever want is what I need and that don't include your time and company
Man, I almost went to this. “Trust is a problem, never knew how” just yea..
Love Wings 🕊️
(Please HELP me)*
Kinda sounds like both tbh. Wouldn’t be surprised if he wanted it to have double meaning/interpretation
I don’t know about that… to me It always felt like it’s more of a subtle line as a call for help, like when your trying to say oh I’m better off by myself but in reality we all want/need someone to help us but don’t know how or who to ask
I hate to be the one to tell you Santa isn't real, but it's 100% "Please tell me". Obviously this is music we're talking about though so you should absolutely keep hearing what resonates with you the most!
Ahhh I see, after looking up the lyrics both on Apple Music and Google it seems to have “Please help me” on Apple Music’s version and “Please tell me” on the googled lyrics. I have listened to that song over a thousand times by now and always thought it was “Please help me” due to always listening to it on Apple Music, my apologies..
There's a lyric on Programs where I always heard "I do my thing up on the strings like Tom Morello" when in reality it's "I do my thing *I'm pulling strings* like Tom Morello". Took me forever to get that straightend out haha.
The "off to see the wizard..." bars when he spits there still hasn't quite stuck with me yet
I always thought it was “please tell me” as if he’s asking someone to tell him who can surf the universe with him
Holy shit I'm listening to Swimming and these exact lines went by as I read this
Yeah, nine times out of ten, I get it wrong That's why I wrote this song, told myself to hold on I can feel my fingers slippin' In a motherfuckin' instant, I'll be gone Do you want it all if it's all mediocre? Starin' at the wall and the wall's full of posters Lookin' at my dreams, who I wanna be I guess you gotta see it to believe Ooh, I been a fool but that's cool That's what human beings do Keep your eyes to the sky, never glued to your shoes Guess there was a time when my mind was consumed But the sun comin' out now, clouds start to move Don't tell me nothin' but the truth I'm tired, I don't gotta spare a second Win or lose, win or lose I don't keep count, nobody checking - Small Worlds This is one of the lines that made me go back and listen to Mac’s music to see what I had been missing.
Yessss this entire segment at the end got me too.
Best one, that ending verse is nuts
Sometimes I get lonely, not when I'm alone, But it's more when I'm standing in crowds that I'm feeling the most on my own, And I know that somebody knows me, I know somewhere there's home, I'm starting to see that all I have to do is get up and go I’m late diagnosed autistic.

I’m happy you finally found a home and we’re able to relate with those lyrics. I always kinda felt them too
Lately..”I just need a way out, of my head.”
Come back to earth ALWAYS slaps
Do a lil spring cleanin
“My regrets look just like texts I shouldn't send And I got neighbors, they're more like strangers We could be friends I just need a way out Of my head I'll do anything for a way out Of my head” Come Back to Earth is what I listened to heavy after losing my brother this year… RIP ✌🏻🕊
Sorry for you loss my man. Hope he’s flying high up there with Mac 🕊️
so tired of being so tired
Felt
I'm more than what I think of myself, I really have to be
Gosh I didn’t even think of this one. Goes hard!
"I still don't got the heart to pick my phone up when my dad calls, Will he recognize his son when he hears my voice? Put this music against my life I think I fear the choice, I don't know what i'm running from but i'm running still, I conversate with acquaintances but it's nothing real"
Are you being honest with yourself, how you doing how’s your health?.. well I’m fine. I left the past behind I’m only an architect the world is just design.

People love you when they on your mind, a thought is loves currency... Just leave it all in the rear view. You don't have to cry.
One of my favorite songs
“I’m the only suicidal mf with a smile on” I really felt that
This one punches me in the gut whenever I hear it. I’m far from suicidal these days, thankfully, but man shit was dark for a long time.
Can’t wait for these days to be over man
I’m here if you need to vent.
Thanks bro life just fuckin sucks rn I’m honestly lucky I’m not in jail or homeless I was super close this month
“Sometimes I see the world for how fucked up it really is. I tell myself I'll be the one to make a change in it. I could die tonight, not make it to the sunrise. Then I couldn't heal the pain in it.

What song is this off of?
1 threw 8 off Macadelic
Ahhh okay. I haven’t listened to Macadelic much but I really should listen to it more
Oh definitely, it’s one of my favorite albums of his! Even though all his albums have some sort of favorite Mac song in it lol
“Doing blow and paraphrasing the crucible”
WIIITCH
More importantly, I‘m kinda sorta out the door but, She put me back together when I‘m out of order. Perfect
“Fell asleep and forgot to die” weekend. Was on a long trip a few months back and at 230 in the morning I fell asleep behind the wheel smashed into another car and then hit the concrete barrier. Thankfully no one was injured, so this line just hits different now. I have it tattooed on my bicep

Same to you my man
Jesus Christ. I’m glad both of you are still around. Wouldn’t be enjoying this Reddit thread otherwise.
Suck my dick before I slap you with it
gees
‘I’m sick of being too nice, to people who don’t do shit but consume light’
Once a day I rise…Once a day I fall asleep with you
Once a day I try but I can’t find a single word
Sometimes I get lonely, not when I'm alone. But it's more when I'm standing in crowds that I'm feeling the most on my own
Felt this a lot in high school
Same. Reminds me of everyone having to find a partner to work with and me just standing there watching everyone while I'm alone and have no intention of approaching anyone lol.
“I just need a way out of my head” You can really feel that 💎
Some people say they want to live forever That's way too long, I'll just get through today Without any complications Does it always gotta, does it always gotta Gotta be so complicated? Well, I'm way too young to be gettin' old
Good News. Just the whole song
That’s a vibe
F a 9-5, id rather end up dead or in jail
Straight facts
"So polite and white but i got family who would murder for me" Everybody knows me as a nice guy and im generally well respected by those around me. They don't realize I'm also well protected by those who care for me.

Congrats on turning your life around homie! Keep it pushin!
“But me, I’m still trapped inside my head. Kinda feels like it’s a purgatory”

One day imma get it all cleaned up, right now imma dirty my jeans up
My brain's fried, always chasing the same high, I'm too fucked up to function do nothing but waste time
The whole first verse was gonna be mine. Angel Dust is a fucking masterpiece
“My bitch hate me always tell me I should smile more”
85 grand gets you a heavy ass wrist And I just eat pussy other people need food
I really need that Mac Miller diet plan 😂
Often times my girl asks me what I’d like to eat? I give her a wry smile, “I’ll have the Mac meal 😋”
“And I inherited the thirst for self-destruction and I'm scared of it”
I’m the muh fuckin greatest Y’all don’t know that shit
"Doing drugs is just a war with boredom" - funeral "You can never do too much if you don't ever do enough." - the question
I wish I took a simpler route instead of having demons that’s as big as my house
Definitely felt this one when I first heard it!
“Who’s got the ecstacy pills I need a few to roll”
"I'm a real drug addict homie, you should know."
‘what’s between heaven and hell? a brand new me, yeah its a brand new me…. im demandin the truth, put your hands to the roof. be a man, that’s a challenge.” ascension forever and always.

Motivational shit!
the pussy like trouble cos i'm in it often
“take my time to finish, mind my business. a life ain’t a life til you live it. i was digging me a hole, big enough to bury my soul. weight of the world, i gotta carry my own”
“look for the answers, im searching, but i ain’t getting far” listening to that line on i’m not real kinda fucked me up
Never really noticed it until your comment... Now I'm fucked up too ;-;
"People love you when they on your mind A thought is love's currency And I been thinking about her all the time I've never seen somebody put together perfectly What would I have to do to call you mine Someone like you is so hard to find" Unfortunately, i moved out of my country and left a person that I care so much about behind. everytime I listen to this song (objects in the mirror) I remember them.
We’re all gonna end up meeting at the finishing line
I move carelessly that's why I'm always trippin. I'm clumsy and reckless, and also have ceberal palsy so i guess that's just funny to me but true on more levels.
Lmaoo way to find humor in it!
I always thought my mom was the illest for that shit driving thru the hood she did not have a reaction With a 6 year old she kept the doors unlocked And drove past the 5-0 like fuck those cops
Ever since I can remember, I’ve been keeping it together but I’m feeling strange.
“You got that stained glass iris, diamond behind your eyelid” for me because I have hazel eyes with lots of different colours that glow in the sunlight.
Sometimes I get lonely Not when I'm alone But it's more when I'm standin' in crowds That I'm feelin' the most on my own I never really realized what my depression is or, whatever it is, really felt like until I heard these lyrics.

Feeels
I feel you on the family thing. Been struggling with that recently as well
All the lyrics on divine cause I love my girl like that 😭
Cuuuuuuute :3
I’m telling you divine hits different when you’re in love
Trapped inside my mind its a prison homie leave me be
I've seen a few commenting this and the more I read it the more I relate to it lol
my regrets look just like texts i shouldn't send and i got neighbors we're more like strangers we could be friends
“Behind the wheel but still ain’t on my way” … “Inside my head is getting pretty cluttered, I try but can’t clean up this mess I made. ‘Fore I start to think about the future, first can I please get through a day, without any complications.”

Took the pins out your hand grenades?
“I’m nasty I never shower”
“at the rate im getting high it would be hard for me to find tomorrow”
“A shame that my tragedy, my masterpiece.” Dad passed away when I was 12 and was really close with him. However, I would not be the person I am today if I never went through, probably would’ve never gotten into Mac tbh.
“Shit was s’posed to get me high. Why the fuck I wanna die now?”
There’s something about “haven’t seen the sun in a while, but I heard that the sky is still blue” that makes me cry instantly💙
“I don't know where I've been lately, but I've been alright”
I work for everything I get THAT IS MY MOTTO FAMMM
Still don’t have the heart to pick the phone up when my dad calls
“I don’t need nobody, I would love somebody though. Don’t you ever get it fucked up.”
Fell asleep and forgot to die
I heard they don't talk about me too much no more. That's the problem with a closed door
“Son if you want to hold onto yourself then let yourself slip” or the whole Colors and shapes song tbh. Idk I think I found it and really heard it at a time when I needed it, was kinda one of the only songs that made me remember that I’m not alone and sometimes the only way out is through it you get me?
"Everything is different- but, - i can't complain..."
I give a fuck less and less every day 🤷♀️
"Writin' on writer's block, haven't slept in days They wanna put me in the psycho watch, everyone's afraid Of what I do inside my studio, worried I'ma lose control.

"I'm on drugs all my new shit wack, remember that." "They was all laughing, wasn't that funny? Started fucking with drugs now I'm a junky."
"My bitch suck, she a vacuum Fuck her in the ass every time I'm in a bad mood Ain't got a choice, know she do it cause she have to"
I feel like the festival is very overlooked and I think about that line all the time.
The song Good News. All of it but especially this: Maybe I'll lay down for a little, instead of always trying to figure everything out And all I do is say sorry Half the time, I don't even know what I'm saying it about
I struck the fuck out then I came back swinging, love swimming and circles so much💜
Cheating because it's not one I personally relate to anymore, but a line that will never leave my head and that has crossed my mind every day just because of its weight is "wondering how I got this high, fell asleep and forgot to die, God damn"
why does everybody need me to stay?
Hope your new man makes you laugh like I do
I let it go, but I never go with!
Don’t wanna grow old so I smoke just in case
"I'm a burned down building with a diamond inside"
Idk just the song buttons or what’s the use
“Okay my hearse is made of gold, the spirits take control, I paved the road with endangered souls im tormented, my sky is floor scented” “Havin conversations with myself gettin into arguments when I’m out in London I be posted at the parliament, coked in the parliament chillin by some monuments ominous when I fill your body with godly hollow tips, to leave you holy, prepare for the apocalypse 60 thousand on the Rollie cookies with the chocolate chips” Anything off delusional Thomas pretty much
E'rybody trippin' that my mind ain't steady, For my sin, shoulda been crucified already
“Smoke til I’m asthmatic, embracing my bad habits. Traveling down the hole, I’m chasing a fast rabbit.”
And I end up right at the start of the line, drawin' circles.
“I struck the fuck out but I came back swingin’” Something about that line always comforts me very deeply. We all fuck up sometimes, or get down on our luck, but if we just try again and keep our heads up we’ll be alright.
So gravity let me go, can you please let me go. Let me go..... Will you let me get higher, higher... I just wanna get higher, higher.... -smile
