I’m A Mess

Song by Omah Lay

2 mins • 2022

Omah Lay’s raw and unfiltered emotions are most evident in the opening track, “I’m A Mess”. The gentle strumming of guitar strings creates a tender atmosphere, setting the stage for Omah Lay’s confessions.

While “I’m A Mess” chronicles his personal journey toward self-discovery, it also explores the impact of such instability on those around him. Ultimately, when seeking support from friends yields no results, Omah Lay turns to a new companion, alcohol, and develops a reliance on substances in his quest to escape reality.

Despite the serious themes in the track, the groovy instrumentals produced by Niphkeys maintain an upbeat mood, preventing listeners from becoming too overwhelmed by the self-deprecating lyrics. By the song’s unsettling conclusion, Omah Lay’s emotions remain unresolved. This track resonates deeply with young people dealing with depression, and it’s commendable of Omah Lay to openly address his pain.
