There’s nothing more tragic than watching talented young people gamble with their lives and eventually lose. When I heard about the unfortunate passing of Lil Peep back in 2017, I was as shocked as everyone else. I was incredibly saddened, but deep down, I wouldn’t say I was surprised. Having heard many Lil Peep quotes and song lyrics, I knew how deeply troubled he was.
But then, many of Lil Peep’s fans felt the same way he did, which is why his music spoke to so many of us. After all, the way he talked about his struggles with substance abuse and suicidal ideation was truly awe-inspiring. Ultimately, that’s why his untimely death was so devastating to his fans and to the world.
Still, we can hold on to the fact that, while he was alive, Lil Peep gave us some of the most deeply contemplative lyrics I’ve ever heard. So let’s all remind ourselves of what an amazing person this young rapper really was.

To Conclude
Most people are fortunate enough to never truly understand the toll poor mental health can take on a person, their family, and the community at large. If you’re one such person, I can only hope these words might have even opened your eyes to some of those struggles.
On the other hand, if you’re a heartbroken fan like me, these Lil Peep quotes may bring you closure. After all, pain wasn’t the only thing this young man felt. Even though he was known for reviving emo music, his lyrics were also full of hope and love. He didn’t want to die, not really. Furthermore, he was always planning for a brighter future — and that’s something we can all learn from him even now.
