Lyrics

Did the bull crush me or do I still give a fuck?

Reflecting on personal resilience and whether external challenges have affected the individual's determination.

Is my heart ripped out or just shriveled up?

Questioning if the person's emotional core is severely damaged or just diminished.

Add water and it's back like a brine shrimp

Metaphorically suggesting that emotional wounds can be healed or restored with effort and care.

Rob, pimp, fuck, steal, murder, limp by, scrimp

Listing negative actions and behaviors, possibly reflecting on societal issues and personal struggles.

Welcome to your life, kid, rock bottom shithole

Describing a difficult phase in life, starting from a low point.

Grab a shovel, dig down, try to hit coal

Encouraging resilience by using the metaphor of digging deeper to find something valuable.

Santa's in the North Pole doing fentanyl

Depicting a grim scenario with Santa Claus involved in drug abuse.

No more good little boys so he meant to kill himself

Exploring the theme of disillusionment with traditional notions of goodness and morality.

But he couldn't find a vein with the hot steel

Highlighting the struggle to find a self-destructive escape and the difficulty of self-discovery.

He couldn't find himself at all, bitch, he's not real

Challenging the authenticity of one's identity and existence.

I'd be real dumb if I seem super

Acknowledging potential foolishness in appearing overly confident or unaffected.

Every day we're diggin' out our souls with an ice cream scooper

Metaphorically describing the daily emotional struggle as a process of excavating one's soul.

Visine might clean our tears

Suggesting the use of Visine to hide tears but questioning the wisdom of avoiding emotional clarity.

But I fear you'd be worse off if your sight's clear

Expressing concern that seeing the harsh reality might be more beneficial than maintaining a distorted view.

Don't like the view here, all my pyros

Disliking the current perspective, referring to individuals with a fiery or rebellious nature.

Go fill your eye droppers up with some nitro'

Proposing a dangerous or explosive solution to cleanse the emotional perception.

'Glycerin, discipline, steady with the hand

Listing substances and traits related to discipline, suggesting a controlled approach to change.

Wanna have your mind blown, ready for a bang?

Teasing an upcoming revelation or impactful moment that may alter one's mindset.

Eyes wide open, let me know what you hear

Encouraging open-mindedness and attentiveness to one's surroundings.

Might be a slight ringin' in your ears

Warning of potential side effects or consequences of the upcoming revelation.


It's check-in time, how does it feel? (How does it feel?)

Asking how it feels as a checkpoint in the emotional journey.
