In "REBECCA pt.2," Becky Hill swings between feeling everything and feeling nothing, grasping for stability while comparison and fear of fading talent make fifteen years feel wasted. She silences the inner voices insisting she is out of choices, repeating that she stands for something and that the struggle has not been for nothing. The image of ice beginning to melt suggests self-love slowly thawing a hardened, bottled-up heart. The song lands on a fragile but stubborn hope that worth can coexist with numbness.
REBECCA pt.2 Lyrics by Becky Hill
Ah, oh (Everything, nothing)
(Everything, nothing)
I know you’ll be waiting when the (Everything, nothing)
(Everything, nothing)
When they turn the lights on, on-on-on (Everything, nothing)
Ah, oh
One minute, I feel everything
To the next, I feel nothing
Desperately trying to hold on
I’m just searching for a constant
One minute, I feel everything (Everything)
To the next, I feel nothing
I will learn to love myself (Love myself)
Let the ice begin to melt
Oh, the thief of joy’s comparison, diminish my accomplishments
The fear of losing relevance with no hard fucking evidence
Rebecca would be proud of me, how far we’ve come, the things I’ve seen
So how come I feel everything, then all I feel is nothing? (Nothing)
If this album’s taught me anything
It’s that I’ve bottled up my feelings
I’ve been so afraid that my talent’s gonna fade
And fifteen years has gone to waste
Oh, I try to silence all these voices
They tell me I am running outta choices
The truth is that it’s lies, I’ll say a million times
That, Becky, you are so worth everything (Everything)
And it ain’t been all for nothing
Baby girl, you stand for something
But I know you feel everything, then nothing
(Everything, nothing) Oh
(Everything, nothing) Everything
(Everything, nothing) Everything
(Everything, nothing) Oh
(Everything, nothing)
(Everything)
