Staring At The Filth
Reflections of Decay: Pe$o Evans' Poetic Commentary on Society's Decline
Lyrics
On the murky avenue with cracks all in the road
Describes a neglected street with visible damage.
I been jumping over fences into grass that's never mowed
Expresses the act of navigating obstacles to reach untended areas.
Just another episode nother monotonous day
Conveys a sense of routine and monotony in the speaker's life.
Where the shadow from the sun gives me an anonymous face
Highlights the anonymity caused by shadows, possibly symbolizing isolation.
Water bottles like to model in between the tallest weeds
Personifies water bottles amid neglected surroundings.
Staring at the filth and how it hurts our human needs
Reflects on observing and contemplating the decay and its impact on humanity.
The pollution evolution is it something people see
Raises the question of whether people are aware of environmental degradation.
Man I'm feeling like I'm Wall-E on a planet people flee

Living in the land of destruction

Smoke in the air I'm aware of combustion

Can I bust in make a change like construction

Or is it too late to stop the fate of our consumption
Raises the question of whether it is too late to prevent the consequences of overconsumption.
Making it hard to look around

Trash on the ground an men pretending in night gowns

Connects facial expressions to the abrupt change in a sick society.
On the skin of a dog
Uses a dog's skin as a metaphor for societal illness.
I rest in the fog
Describes a state of confusion or obscurity.
Go the other way like runners when they jog

Rather be private because the phone keeps log
Values privacy due to concerns about surveillance.
So I sleep in the swamp down by the bull frogs

Counteract bring back sophistication

Look around and I see the degradation
Observes the decline in societal standards.
Cause the media got us desensitized

Don't blame China not just China
Rejects blaming a specific country, pointing to global issues.
Only fans stans paying money for vagina
Criticizes the phenomenon of paying for explicit content online.
The finer things in life ain't always good
Warns against the allure of materialistic pleasures.
So that's why I stay content with the rent that is in the hood

Look around as I stand in the aftermath

Beaten path half paved and there ain't no staff

On a avenue that's vacant
