Sky: inside the lyrics and their meaning
Sky is a song about getting high and a collection of thoughts about Playboi Carti’s ended relationship with Iggy Azalea. From how the track sounds, it feels like the American rapper is freely talking about his breakup with Azalea under the effects of substances.
The chorus clearly explains that Carti is trying to get high, so high that he won’t feel anything, even if he falls from the sky.
I’m tryna get high ’til I can’t feel nothin’
I could fall out the sky and I still won’t feel nothin’
I’m way too high
Then the verse begins, and we hear the rapper talking about how he’s no longer in love with the girl that once was his partner. Now they are “just friends.”
She my best friend, yeah, we not a couple
She a rockstar, she a sex symbol
As many know, Playboi Carti dated Iggy Azalea for a long time and had a baby, Onyx, in 2019. However, the two broke up in 2020, shortly before the release of the album that contained the song Sky. Carti describes Azalea as his best friend, but the truth is that they are not in a good relationship, and Iggy Azalea even accused Playboi Carti of being a cheater and an absent father. On the other side, even Carti accuses Azalea of cheating in this song:
Baby, tell me everybody you screw
Tell me everybody you took to this room
I gotta know who you f**k, f**ed in this room
I gotta know who you f**ed in this room
I gotta know who you f**ed in this room
Can’t trust no b* *h, can’t trust these n**as
Nevertheless, besides these lines, Playboi Carti is also aware that he has just lost interest. He admits he’s only in love with his money and is not a guy who loves to hug and kiss. From this point of view, he’s also able to recognize his part of the reasons why the relationship didn’t work.
I don’t even like to hug, I don’t even like to kiss
I just pat her on the ass, and tell her, “Good shit”
And the same way it started, the song slowly returns to the sensations given by the substances he took: feeling numb and unable to focus on essential matters.
I just walked in my pad, paparazzi at the fence
I’m ’bout to pour up some red
And shawty gon’ roll up some s**t
And shawty gon’ roll up some s**t
I’m way too high
I’m way too high
After all, this is the real meaning of the lyrics inside Sky: I’m getting high and freely expressing what I feel about the breakup. I know I’m not perfect, and right now, I prefer not to focus too much on it. I only want to feel numb.
