Lyrics
dot my t’s
Attention to detail, ensuring everything is in order
cross my i’s
Being thorough and meticulous
dont know why they thought i’d turn out fine
Expressing confusion about others' expectations of turning out fine
but my dear i have lost my mind
Acknowledging personal struggle and loss of mental stability
probably just another sign of the times
Suggesting personal challenges are a reflection of the current era
my world keeps burnin slowly
Describing a slow burn of personal difficulties
and everything’s so annoying
Expressing frustration with life's annoyances
everyone wants to destroy me
Feeling a sense of persecution or threat from others
fold my arms and hope im gon be okay
Adopting a defensive posture, seeking reassurance
whys it be gotta be complicated
Questioning the complexity of situations
dont u know we aint gone be alright
Expressing skepticism about the possibility of things being okay
i know it’s so intoxicating
Acknowledging the allure and captivating nature of challenges
Why’s it gotta be complicated
Reiterating the perplexity of the situation
whys it be gotta be complicated
Repeating the theme of questioning complexities
dont u know we aint gone be alright
Expressing doubt about things being alright
i know it’s so intoxicating
Recognizing the captivating and potentially harmful nature of challenges
but everything’s gonna end dont even try
Foreseeing an inevitable end to everything, discouraging attempts
Why’s it gotta be complicated
Reiterating the complexity and difficulty of the situation
just hold your breathe and close your eyes
Suggesting a defensive reaction to challenges
Why’s it gotta be complicated
Repeating the theme of complexity
so the - world’s falling apart - i guess
Observing a world in chaos, possibly feeling disconnected
i told my - girl follow your heart - she left
Reflecting on personal advice given but not followed
i wanna - burn all of the cards i’m dealt
Expressing a desire to discard the hand dealt in life
-burn all of my art and starve while watching it melt
Contemplating self-destructive tendencies and sacrifices for art
-i think i’m modest as hell
Asserting modesty while acknowledging external pressure
internet wants me to fail
Feeling the pressure of online judgment
maybe i do too
Admitting internal conflict and self-doubt
cause living an artist entails
Describing the challenges of being an artist
slipping and falling to no avail
Experiencing failure despite efforts
go off of the rails ozzy
Encouraging a departure from conventional paths
dedicate two shots to the labels that ain’t want me
Expressing frustration with the music industry
while they shelve two acts by the time that i make coffee
Commenting on the arbitrary nature of success
-your fame gone in a minute enslave artists who not me
Rejecting conformity and predicting personal success
chase stardom and women and make art as a hobby
Balancing personal aspirations with societal expectations
and take part in a system who make carbonate copies
Criticizing a system that promotes uniformity
pardon my moxie
Asserting confidence and boldness
-pardon me
Apologizing for assertiveness
honestly i been
Admitting to strategic planning for personal advancement
plotting to cold cock any bossman who try to knock me
Expressing defiance against authoritative figures
you take what you can get while the industry catching bodies
Commenting on the opportunistic nature of the music industry
-you trip and fall on your follies not complicated you start me you gone
Emphasizing that personal challenges are not complicated but a natural part of life
