RIP LYRICS – QVEEN HERBY

RIP Lyrics Meaning

[Chorus:]
This part of the song is all about breaking free and embracing a wilder, more liberated side. The “cave” represents a place of isolation, and “misbehaving” suggests stepping out and doing things without care for judgment. Flying with “creatures of the night” hints at exploring her darker, more mysterious self. The “strange” feeling in her veins symbolizes newfound power, and “pu[y paradise” represents her freedom, confidence, and personal empowerment.

[Hook:]
The hook describes a drastic transformation. “Going bat s*it” means losing control in a good way—being bold and unapologetic. When she says “shorty just vanished,” it’s like saying the old version of herself has disappeared. The repeated “RIP” is a final goodbye to the past version of herself, signaling she’s not going back.

[Verse 1:]
In this verse, Qveen Herby plays with the idea of a funeral for her former self. Calling up the coroner symbolizes death, but it’s not a sad occasion—it’s a chance to say goodbye and move on. Dressing up and “mourning” her old self is almost a celebration of her transformation. She talks about stepping into her “villain era,” meaning she’s embracing a more rebellious, unapologetic persona. With confidence and humor, she calls herself “artistic ridiculous” and “big d*ck Maleficent,” blending creativity with fierceness, and letting everyone know she’s in charge now.

[Chorus:]
This chorus repeats the same message of leaving behind a restricted life and diving into a bolder one. “Coming out of the cave” is the moment of liberation, and “flying with creatures of the night” reflects the fearlessness to embrace her darker, more authentic side. “Strange flows in my veins” means she’s transformed, and “pu[y paradise” is her newfound self-love and empowerment. She’s fully embracing her freedom and confidence, leaving her old self behind for good.

[Hook:]
In this hook, the repetition reinforces her transformation. Going “bat s*it” is a full-on embrace of her wild, liberated nature, and the disappearance of her old self is final. The line “RIP to the old me” repeats as a declaration that her past self is dead, and she’s fully stepping into her new, stronger self.

[Verse 2:]
This verse digs into the process of her transformation. She starts by saying she had to “crawl out of her mind,” meaning she had to break free from old mental traps. “Old sh*t had to uninstall” shows she’s letting go of negative patterns. The “funeral” for her old expectations symbolizes putting to rest what no longer serves her. She’s growing, using past experiences as fertilizer for her evolution. “Toes up” means she’s embracing death of the old her with confidence, while “new flows” represent creativity and self-expression. She’s collecting “new me’s like trophies,” showing pride in her personal growth.

[Chorus:]
This chorus reiterates her transformation and newfound freedom. Coming out of the “cave” represents breaking free from limitations. Misbehaving means embracing who she is without holding back, and flying with “creatures of the night” symbolizes fearlessly exploring the unknown parts of herself. The “strange” feeling in her veins shows that she’s undergone a change, and “pu[y paradise” is the ultimate state of self-empowerment. By repeating “RIP to the old me,” she reinforces that her old self is gone, and she’s fully stepped into her power.

[Outro:]
The outro is a simple final farewell to her old self, cementing the transformation.
