riley · the gulf



ABOUT

the gulf is about being a raging alcoholic and trying to pass it off and hide it,
when it’s actually extremely obvious you’re going down hill and trying so
desperatelyto party the pain away. the fact this is a party pop song is a bit
ironic too lol. the lyric, “even more visible than crying” takes this reality to
the next extreme. imagine your addiction being more evident than a visual
emotional response.

LYRICS:

(ri-hy)

take a selfie, drink the drink
getting healthy, having four
if it gets chilly, get the mink
all i wanna do is talk…

…outside, where the lies lie in my face
even more visible than crying

“i been hotter than the gulf” (gulf)
i yell my ear-ear
i been sipping ice cold (cold)
to swallow my tear-tears

i been losing all control (trol)
what can i do here-here
i been putting on a show (show)
running from my fear-fears
running from my fear-fears

yeah been getting real down
shooting shots when you’re not around
even more visible than crying

“i been hotter than the gulf” (gulf)
i yell my ear-ear
i been sipping ice cold (cold)
to swallow my tear-tears
to swallow my (swallow my)

take a selfie, click the link
getting paid, having five
idgaf what you think
really hope i can drive…

…outside, where the lies lie in my face
even more visible than crying

“i been hotter than the gulf” (gulf)
i yell my ear-ear
i been sipping ice cold (cold)
to swallow my tear-tears

i been losing all control (trol)
what can i do here-here
i been putting on a show (show)
running from my fear-fears
running from my fear-fears

yeah been getting real down
shooting shots when you’re not around
even more visible than crying

“i been hotter than the gulf” (gulf)
i yell my ear-ear
i been sipping ice cold (cold)
to swallow my tear-tears
to swallow my (swallow my)
tears
