dedgrl
Zillakami Lyrics

She got hooked on ketamine
Future broken, heavy weight
It took a long time to know, couldn't break
She took a long time to go over pain

Student, scholar, couldn't pay

Head goes around
Thinkin' it is over, head goes around (ah)
Head goes around
Thinkin' it is over, head goes around (ah)
Around and around

Got depression in the brain
Started cuttin' on the veins
It took a short time to know, parents shamed
It wasn't long 'fore he goes far away

Around and around
Floatin' in an orbit, 'round and around (ah)
Around and around
Floatin' in an orbit, 'round and around
You're dead in the ground

Ah, ah

The song "dedgrl" by ZillaKami is a melancholic expression of the struggles of mental health issues, addiction, and debt. The opening lines depict a girl who has become addicted to ketamine, a powerful anesthetic drug that is known to induce hallucinations, and as a result, her future seems bleak and uncertain. She is trapped in a vicious cycle that she cannot escape from, and the weight of her addiction seems too heavy for her to bear. The repetition of the line "head goes around" serves as a reminder of the confusing and disorienting nature of addiction and mental health issues.

The second verse shifts the focus to a male character who is suffering from depression and self-harm. He is drowning in debt, unable to pay off the loans he took out to pursue his studies. The shame he feels from his parents and the guilt and worthlessness he feels from being a burden creates a self-perpetuating cycle of negative thoughts and feelings. The chorus reinforces the idea of being trapped in a cycle, with the repetition of "around and around" creating a sense of being stuck in a never-ending loop.

Overall, the song portrays the painful reality of addiction and mental health issues and their detrimental effects on one's life. The lyrics are raw and unfiltered, giving listeners a glimpse into the darkness of these struggles.

She got hooked on ketamine
She became addicted to ketamine

Future broken, heavy weight
Her future prospects were damaged and she felt weighed down by her problems

It took a long time to know, couldn't break
She spent a while trying to come to terms with her situation and couldn't find a way out

She took a long time to go over pain
She struggled for a while to overcome her emotional pain

Student, scholar, couldn't pay
She was a student and scholar who couldn't afford to pay her debts

Got indebted heavy weight
She became heavily in debt

It took a long time to know, bank can't wait
She eventually realized that she couldn't delay repaying her debts any longer

It took a short time to grow over pain
She managed to recover from her emotional pain relatively quickly

Head goes around
She's dizzy and disoriented

Thinkin' it is over, head goes around (ah)
Even when she thinks her problems are solved, she's still unsteady and unsure

Got depression in the brain
She suffered from depression

Started cuttin' on the veins
She turned to self-harm

It took a short time to know, parents shamed
Her parents found out about her self-harm relatively quickly and were ashamed of her

It wasn't long 'fore he goes far away
She eventually ran away from home

Around and around
She's still dizzy and disoriented

Floatin' in an orbit, 'round and around (ah)
She feels like she's drifting aimlessly

You're dead in the ground
Being stuck in the orbit symbolizes being stuck in a cycle of pain until death
