Doom by Juice WRLD Lyrics Meaning – The Search for Solace in a Chaotic World
Lyrics
No, I can’t be fooled
I ain’t playin’ by your rules
I’m known to lose my cool, but that’s cool
‘Cause I’m known to be too cool
There’s a room full of toxic people
But it feels like it’s just me and her in the room
I’d rather me die before she
So I mix drugs up tryna find my doom
Tryna find my doom
Doom, doom
Tryna find my doom
Tryna find my doom
Doom, doom, doom
I have a lot of troubles
I admit I’m running from ’em
Walking through Hollywood
I admit, I’m astonished
So much has happened in the last few months
From broke to rich to finding love again
I said so much has happened in the last three months
More drugs to mix, so high I don’t pick up the phone no mo’
New phone, who is this? Uh-oh
You got some nerve, dumb ho
Where were you before
I could pay your mortgage
Now all my shoes cost your car
Karma’s a ugly bride
Yeah, she’ll leave her scars
No, I can’t be fooled
I ain’t playin’ by your rules
I’m known to lose my cool, but that’s cool
‘Cause I’m known to be too cool
There’s a room full of toxic people
But it feels like it’s just me and her in the room
I’d rather me die before she
So I mix drugs up tryna find my doom
Tryna find my doom
Doom, doom
Tryna find my doom
Tryna find my doom
Doom, doom, doom
Tryna find my tomb, ended up finding you
I assumed that you were gonna leave me overconsumed
Consumed, consumed, consumed
Yeah, I’m fucked up, yeah, but you already knew
What’s your favorite color besides blue? You’re always blue
You always been the one for me, you knew that too
Uh, fucked up, drunk driving on the avenue
Wrist hanging out the window, let the Rollie do what it do
Keep a all black four-nickel on me too
Fucked up, drunk driving on the avenue
Wrist hanging out the window, let the Rollie do what it do
Keep a all black four-nickel on me too, on me too
No, I can’t be fooled
I ain’t playing by your rules
I’m known to lose my cool, but that’s cool
‘Cause I’m known to be too cool
There’s a room full of toxic people
But it feels like it’s just me and her in the room
I’d rather me die before she
So I mix drugs up tryna find my doom
Tryna find my doom
Doom, doom (Daytrip took it to ten, hey)
Tryna find my doom
Tryna find my doom
Doom, doom, doom
In the vast expanse of modern music, few artists have encapsulated the raw turbulence of youthful angst as authentically as Juice WRLD. His track ‘Doom’ is not an exception but a continuation of his candid journey through the peaks and valleys of fame, love, and internal conflict.
Beneath its hypnotic melody and rhythmic cadence, ‘Doom’ unfolds as an odyssey of the soul that seeks to comprehend the labyrinth of feelings that accompany unprecedented success and deep-seated personal demons.
Disturbing Tranquility: The Calm Before the Storm
Juice WRLD starts ‘Doom’ with an assertion of his detachment from the conventional games of the industry. He refuses to be played or controlled, declaring his cool demeanor even when his temper flares. This juxtaposition of self-awareness and self-control sets the stage for a deep dive into the paradoxes that define his existence.
It’s a calm admission of vulnerability—a rebel’s whisper in the middle of a quiet uprising against the toxic environment that’s endemic in the places of power and fame.
Love in a Pill: The Deadly Dance with Demons
‘I’d rather me die before she / So I mix drugs up tryna find my doom,’ Juice WRLD confesses, unmasking a harrowing layer of self-sacrifice wrapped in the shroud of addiction. The drugs become a toxic love affair, with every high a step closer to the finality of ‘doom.’
This haunting line serves as an elegy of his deep inner turmoil, where the concoction of substances is both an attempt to escape reality, and paradoxically, to show the ultimate act of love—prioritizing her life above his own.
A Timeline of Turmoil: Fame’s Fickle Flame
From anonymity to the glaring spotlight, Juice navigates his meteoric rise with conflicting emotions. Fame brings love and fortune, but with it comes the weight of public scrutiny and the loss of privacy. His lyrics paint a Hollywood scene, one where success is as disorienting as intoxication, and friendships are often entangled with opportunistic motives.
He’s critical of those who seek him out now that he can ‘pay your mortgage,’ recognizing the scars left by fair-weather friends and lovers.
Unveiling the Hidden Meaning: The Irony of Desiring Doom
Doom, as Juice WRLD presents it, is an inevitable outcome but also a deliberate pursuit—a paradox that encapsulates the song’s hidden meaning. This oxymoronic quest speaks to a deeper existential dread, one that finds solace in the brink of destruction. As he tempts fate with his lifestyle choices, ‘Doom’ represents the ultimate sovereignty over his own destiny.
Even as he mixes lethal cocktails of drugs, there’s a palpable sense of control in the way he orchestrates his path towards oblivion, defying the world’s attempts to script his demise.
Eternal Blue: The Chromatics of Emotional Despair
‘What’s your favorite color besides blue? You’re always blue,’ he sings, using color as a metaphor for emotional states. Beyond the facade of flamboyance and opulence lies a consistent theme of sadness—a blue streak running through the tapestry of his experiences.
The recurring motif of ‘blue’ binds the narrative of ‘Doom,’ underscoring the melancholy entwined with ephemeral moments of happiness and clarity.
