The song "For You" by Jacquie discusses the challenges and struggles of navigating identity and relationships in the context of Hollywood. The lyrics describe someone experiencing an identity crisis and being influenced and destroyed by the city (Hollywood) and its superficial culture. The person in focus is portrayed as someone who used to be different and never wanted to be like those around them. However, they have now succumbed to the pressure and are engaging in destructive behavior like using drugs (snorting white lines) with fake friends. The lyrics emphasize that the people around them have ulterior motives and will only be around when the person is successful or on a rise. The line "They'll disappear when you lose" suggests that their so-called friends vanish when things go downhill. Despite this unfortunate situation, the singer expresses their unwavering support and love for this person. They are willing to do anything for them, even when they are struggling or feeling lonely. The repeated phrase "For you, I'd do anything" highlights their devotion to being there for this person through thick and thin. The lyrics also touch upon the person's dependence on alcohol (depending on the bottle) as a way to escape their problems, but it only leads to more pain and emotional numbness. Overall, the song seems to reflect on the darker side of Hollywood and the toll it can take on individuals, particularly in terms of losing their true selves and facing loneliness. The singer acts as a confidant, willing to stay by their side and offer unwavering support while also highlighting the shallowness of the world they are caught up in.
