I woke up in self-destruction mode
I press go and I do it again
I love my sins, they’re all I know
We got closer than all of my friends
Triple seven on the dash, guess I’m feeling lucky
I kinda got a thing for cash, I just want your money
I’m tying cherry knots, got ’em twisted like my stomach
I’m a mess, I’m a mess, I’m the best
Mm-yeah
I woke up in self-destruction mode
I press go and I do it again
I love my sins, they’re all I know
We got closer than all of my friends
C4, I do that damage
My ego is titanic
I woke up in self-destruction mode
Watch me go, I’ma do it again
I’ma do it again
I’m in the Czech Republic, checking out, come and find me
I can’t just have a little, drink it neat, never nicely
We woke up on a Monday, went to bed on a Friday
I like me, you wanna bite me
Devil on my shoulder
Say I just wanna know ya
And if you pull me closer
Oh, baby, I’ma show ya
My vision’s getting slower
Well, baby, what’s composure?
Should’ve listened when I told ya
I woke up in self-destruction mode
I press go and I do it again
I love my sins, they’re all I know
We got closer than all of my friends
C4, I do that damage
My ego is titanic
I woke up in self-destruction mode
Watch me go, I’ma do it again
I woke up in self-destruction mode
I woke up in self-destruction mode
I press go and I do it again
Exploring the Turbulent Energy of “Self Destruction Mode”
“Self Destruction Mode” by The Chainsmokers captures the allure and chaos of living recklessly. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a protagonist caught in a cycle of self-indulgence, embracing their flaws and vices rather than escaping them. Phrases like “I woke up in self-destruction mode” and “I love my sins, they’re all I know” reflect a raw honesty about the comfort found in bad habits. The song blends hedonistic bravado with an undercurrent of vulnerability, suggesting a struggle between self-awareness and the thrill of letting go. The energetic beats and candid storytelling make this track both a party anthem and a contemplative reflection on self-sabotage.
