About This Track

Bladee's 'FLATLINE' moves through states of emotional dissolution with a chilled, deliberate pace. The track opens on introspection, a catalogue of self-recrimination and unwanted truths, before settling into its central image: the flatline as both literal cardiac monitor and metaphor for emotional numbness. The production stays sparse and measured, letting the vocal sit exposed against minimal instrumentation. The song's emotional architecture hinges on a tension between care for another person and a compulsion toward self-sabotage. Bladee adopts the voice of someone aware of their own destructiveness, caught between a desire to protect and an inability to stop causing harm. The chorus repeats the flatline imagery with increasing weight, each iteration layering new contexts onto the same phrase until it becomes a kind of resignation. By the outro, the song has moved from confession to something closer to acceptance of a pattern that cannot be broken.

"FLATLINE" is a track by Bladee, from the album Cold Visions, released 24th April 2024. Full lyrics are available below.

Lyrics

FLATLINE

[Intro]

Nah

Cold-C-C-C-C-Cold Visions

(Oh, oh-oh)

[Verse 1]

Not enough (Ha)

Do not deserve (Ha)

I wanted to (Bladee)

'Til things occurred (Cold)

It's so absurd

It's so bizarre

There's something worse that I deserve (Oh, oh-oh)

It's all for real (Ha)

It's not a dream

A lot of things (Ha)

But it's not me (Ha, ha)

Dissolve for real

Acid and bleach

Just close your eyes, be close to me

[Pre-Chorus]

I'd never lie (Despair)

I never want to see you cry

I'd rather die (No, love)

I fantasize, I flatline

I flatline

I flatline (No, love)

[Chorus]

I never want to see you cry (Trust, cold)

I'd rathеr die, I flatline (Cold)

I wake up еvery day in hate

Awake to hate (Hate)

And bad vibes (Cold)

My bedside, a fat line (Gone cold)

ER-EKG, a flatline

Goodnight and goodbye

'Til next time

The monitor reads a flatline (Ah)

[Bridge]

Shh

Haha

Cold-C-C-C-Cold Visions

[Verse 2]

(Sad but true, what I do to you)

It's sad but true

I find a way to sabotage everything between me and you

It's sad but true, it's sad but true (Woah)

(I'm so embarrassing)

(So fucking disgusting, ha)

It's sad but true, it's sad but true (I fled this country, I fled)

(I can't keep running, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah)

I live my life disgusting (Disgusting)

I choose the way of suffering

Under the weight, I'm crushing (Crush)

And in a way, it's funny (Crush)

Hate that today is sunny (Cold)

Hate that the next is coming

I want you to see me

Want, want us to be me (Uh, uh, uh)

Cold Visions, bad feeling, Cold Vision (Winter in my mind)

So distant, loneliest, so distant (Ah)

Dark feelings, dark feelings, dark feelings (Ah)

Dark feelings, dark feelings, dark feelings (Ah)

Bad feelings, Cold Vision, bad feelings

So distant, loneliest, so distant (Ah)

[Chorus]

I never want to see you cry (Trust, cold)

I'd rather die, I flatline (Cold)

I wake up every day in hate

Awake to hate (Hate)

And bad vibes (Cold)

My bedside, a fat line (Gone cold)

ER-EKG, a flatline

Goodnight and goodbye

'Til next time

The monitor reads a flatline (Ah)

[Outro]

Hahaha
