Delete Forever Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Lying so awake, things I can't escape
Lately, I just turn 'em into demons
Flew into the sun, fucking heroin
Lately, I just turn 'em into reasons and excuses
[Pre-Chorus]
Always down when I'm not up, guess it's just my rotten luck
To fill my time with permanent blue
But I can't see above it, guess I fucking love it
But, oh, I didn't mean to
[Chorus]
I see everything, I see everything
Don't you tell me now that I don't want it
But I did everything, I did everything
More lines on the mirror than a sonnet (Woo)
[Verse 2]
Funny how they think us naive when we're on the brink
Innocence was fleeting like a season
Cannot comprehend, lost so many men
Lately, all their ghosts turn into reasons and excuses
[Pre-Chorus]
Always down when I'm not up, guess it's just my rotten luck
To fill my time with permanent blue
But I can't see above it, guess I fucking love it
But, oh, I didn't mean to
[Chorus]
I see everything, I see everything
Don't you tell me now that I don't want it
But I did everything, I did everything
More lines on the mirror than a sonnet (Woo)
[Chorus]
I see everything, I see everything
Don't you tell me now that I don't want it
But I did everything, I did everything
More lines on the mirror than a sonnet

What did Grimes say about "Delete Forever"?
It’s a pretty bummer song. I guess it’s kind of about the opioid epidemic. I’ve had quite a few friends pass away, in particular, one friend when I was 18 passed away from complications related to opioid addiction. Artists keep dying and stuff so I wrote this song on the night Lil Peep died because...
How did you come up with the title?
I think I was like deleting files on my computer. It was like, “Delete forever?” And I was like, “I guess so,” like fuck. But the song is actually quite dark. I’ve had six friends who’ve died from opiate related deaths, really good friends. So it’s dealing with the aftermath emotionally of that. It...
How did the song come about?
I actually finished this the day Lil' Peep died. I got super triggered when Lil' Peep died. I really liked him as an artist. I thought he was a great artist, actually. I was just a big fan. So I went into my weird office and made the song. Because now there’s a lot of musicians and stuff dying. But...
What was the songwriting process like?
I have this guitar sample from somewhere. I didn’t actually play the guitar on this one. I sang over the guitar sample. I originally was going to not have drums on it. Then I changed the drums. The drums have changed on this song many times, that’s sort of the main editing that occurred on this. I w...
