Screwed Up Lyrics – Destroy Lonely

Screwed Up Lyrics Meaning

[Verse 1]
Here he’s painting a picture of being completely lost in his lifestyle. The “cup” and “drügs” show he’s leaning on substances and feeling messed up. At the same time, he’s bragging about his success, saying he spent a huge amount of money on jewelry. He shifts focus to a woman he’s with, describing her as attractive, wild, and confident. He throws in details about his wealth, like stacks of money and luxury watches, while also keeping attention on his image by posting pictures online. The line about her being topless and drinking with him adds to the wild party vibe. Overall, this part mixes showing off his money and status with admitting he’s heavily under the influence and just floating through the chaos.

[Chorus]
The hook repeats the idea of being “screwed up,” meaning he’s both intoxicated and living a reckless lifestyle. He ties it back to DJ Screw, who was known for his slowed-down, heavy style, which connects to the vibe of being faded. He brags again about spending on jewelry and showing off his “ice,” meaning diamonds. He mentions a woman next to him, who now also shines because of the lifestyle he provides. The repetition drives home the hazy, stuck-in-the-moment energy of being under the influence and wrapped up in luxury at the same time.

[Verse 2]
Here he shifts more into a mix of flexing and talking about relationships. He’s telling a woman to relax, calm down, and be real with him. He describes her showing off physically, while he keeps the energy flashy with name drops of luxury fashion like Chanel, Bottega, and Rick Owens. He acknowledges that people hate on his lifestyle but brushes it off. The girl he’s with is also caught up in his world, drinking with him and trying to keep up. He downplays how much he cares, showing a kind of careless attitude. Then he brags again about his car, a Rolls-Royce worth hundreds of thousands, and points out how the girl sticks to him like money because she knows being with him keeps her life elevated.

[Chorus]
This section is shorter but keeps the same vibe, repeating how he’s completely under the influence and living in that slowed, faded headspace. He shouts out DJ Screw again while highlighting drinking and pouring up, showing he’s still deep in that lifestyle loop.

[Outro]
The closing lines circle back to the same repeated phrase, hammering in the idea of being stuck in that state of being messed up. It leaves the song hanging in that same dazed, intoxicated mood, without shifting tone or resolution.
