Simple, monotonous and haunting Lil Peeps 16 Lines feels like it lasts for an eternity. The song is one of the dourest on the posthumousCome On Over When Youre Sober, Pt. 2, and its video captures a specific feeling of loneliness and dejection thats at the heart of Peeps music.
Peep is the sole figure in the Giggy-directed visual, smoking on a couch and singing to himself as he rides in the back of a van. 16 lines of blow and Im fine/Break my bones, but act as my spine/I wonder who youll fuck when I die, the young rapper listlessly sings as he tries to avoid looking into the camera. That reluctance only heightens the songs sense of claustrophobia. Peepdied of an overdose in 2017, and the loss is still raw here, even an uninterested Peep still oozed star potential.
