warped lives of blameless children Lyrics

[Intro: Scrim & Lily Kaplan]
Ooh
Four seasons away and change
Y-Y-Y-Y—
Things will never be feel the same again
Y-Y-Y-Y—
We lost our way again, baby (Y-Y-Y-Y—)
You did good, $lick
It’s a Smash
Let’s go

[Verse: Scrim]
Feel like there’s so much to see, before I go (Let’s go)
Scared to let go of her hand every time I hit the road (Time I hit the road)
And that’s some shit she’ll never know (Know, know)
(Turn me up)
Waking up (Let’s get it), stressing every minute I waste (Let’s go)
Script running low, counting every pill that I take back on the road (On the road)
Its another birthday I won’t make (Whoa), got plenty off days but never ones that I do take, yeah (Ohh-woo)
‘Cause I’m too scared if I stop, I gotta deal with my problems (Yeah)
I been running for so damn long that I became the monster, yeah (Ohh)
Running out of ideas of how to help my father (Ohh)
If there was a way to heal my fam, fuck it, I’d die tomorrow (Fuck it, I’d die tomorrow)
Can’t help but to think of a beautiful daughter whenever I look at Sage (Ooh)
My momma, she cry, when she see my eyes, she know that she’s looking at pain (Ooh)
Another tattoo on my face, I’m tryna hide everything that I hate (Ooh)
But wherever I go, yeah, there I am, this shit I could never escape (Never escape)

[Chorus: Scrim]
And I just wanna feel okay (Ahh-woo)
I just wanna feel okay (Ahh-woo)
I just wanna feel okay (Ahh-woo), yeah, ayy
Maybe it’s all inside in my head (My head)
Maybe it’ll make more sense when I’m dead (Ohh-waa)
It’s the little things I never said (I never said)

[Verse 2: Scrim]
Let’s go
I been (I been), way too fucked up and that I won’t deny (Woo)
Done heard it all my life, so what’s one more goodbye? (Ohh-waa-ooh)
Never could be sure of much but I could be sure that high (Oh-ah), would make me feel alright, alright (Woo)
Yeah, but them days gone of them drugs holding me together (Holding me together)
Feeling like I want to die but at least I’m looking better (Ah-woo)
Bunch of dead bodies paved on my path to peace (Skrrt)
Now the pastor telling me
That its (Ah-woo), real hard for a rich man to get to heaven (Ah-woo)
Went from leaning on my cup to leaning on my weapon (Ah-woo)
And this could end at any second (Any second, yeah), yeah, yeah
Probably didn’t say it enough, but know I love you all (Ooh)
Staring at my dad’s number, like I don’t know how to call (How to call)
Just hope he knows it ain’t his fault (Woo-oh, ohh)

[Chorus]
Ohh, and I just wanna feel okay (I just wanna feel okay)
I just wanna feel okay (I just wanna feel okay)
I just wanna feel okay, ayy-ayy, ayy

[Outro: Lily Kaplan]
Four seasons away in change
Things will never be feel the same again
We lost our way again, baby, ohh

warped lives of blameless children Lyrics Meaning

[Intro: Scrim & Lily Kaplan]
The intro opens with soft, melancholic vocals from Lily Kaplan that set a sorrowful mood, suggesting emotional distance and irreparable change. The repetition of “Y-Y-Y-Y—” adds a haunting, fractured feeling, evoking instability or stuttering thoughts. Scrim’s taglines (“You did good, $lick” and “It’s a Smash”) contrast the somber tone, possibly highlighting the disconnect between outward success and inner turmoil.

[Verse: Scrim]
In this verse, Scrim expresses a deep emotional weariness. He fears separation from loved ones and laments the life he’s built on instability. The imagery of running out of pills and missing birthdays illustrates a life dominated by addiction and neglect of self-care. His fear of stopping is rooted in confronting buried pain, showing how avoidance has become a survival tactic. The mention of his father and Sage (possibly a family member or close friend) reveals his longing to protect and heal, even if it means sacrificing himself. Tattoos become a mask, a way to hide emotional scars, yet he admits that no matter how far he runs, he can’t escape himself.

[Chorus: Scrim]
The chorus acts as a quiet cry for inner peace. Scrim repeatedly expresses his desire to “feel okay,” emphasizing emotional numbness and disconnection. He questions whether his turmoil is all in his head or if clarity will only come in death. The pain lies not in the dramatic moments but in “the little things I never said,” suggesting regret over silence and emotional repression.

[Verse 2: Scrim]
This verse confronts Scrim’s long-standing battles with substance abuse and depression. He acknowledges how being high was once his only consistent source of comfort, though those days are now behind him. Despite appearing better outwardly, he’s still burdened internally. The metaphor of “dead bodies” on his path to peace speaks to the emotional and possibly literal toll of his journey. A pastor’s words remind him of the spiritual challenges tied to wealth and survival. Scrim shifts from leaning on drugs to weapons, suggesting a grim shift in coping mechanisms. His uncertainty in reaching out to his father and his fear of miscommunication underscore his lingering emotional paralysis, though his love remains clear.

[Chorus]
The chorus returns, reinforcing the theme of emotional fatigue and the yearning for stability. The repetition mimics a mantra, reinforcing how persistent and consuming these feelings are. It encapsulates the core of the track: a desperate need to be okay in a world that feels perpetually overwhelming.

[Outro: Lily Kaplan]
Lily Kaplan’s outro mirrors the intro, closing the song with a gentle but mournful acknowledgment that things have permanently changed. Her voice echoes the sense of being lost, reiterating that both emotional and relational disconnection have become inescapable. The cyclical return to the opening lines ties the narrative together, suggesting that despite all of Scrim’s revelations, the sense of loss and distance remains.
