Lyrics

For a long while now I don't dread death

Expressing a lack of fear or concern about death over an extended period.

I won't make till 30 I won't hold my breath

Not expecting to live past 30 and not holding hope for it.

I can feel it in my bones I can feel I'm getting bored

Sensing a growing sense of boredom within oneself.

I can think of all the shit that I don't wanna settle for

Reflecting on things one refuses to accept or settle for.


In then I'm out whisper and shout

Experiencing fluctuations between being inwardly quiet and outwardly expressive.

Heard YCK he don't stop with the sound

Acknowledging YCK's continuous dedication to his musical sound.

How could anybody give a fuck bout me

Expressing a sense of insignificance, questioning if anyone cares about the artist.

And in spite of all the songs they all wanna doubt me

Despite creating songs, there's skepticism and doubt from others.


Bruised up skin all my wounds cauterized

Describing physical scars and indicating emotional trauma.

Everything I been through you could say I'm traumatized

Claiming a high level of distress due to life experiences.

Bitch don't speak cause you ain't qualified

Warning someone unqualified against speaking.

Spit murdering words you could say it's homicide

Using powerful words, equating speech to murder, possibly metaphorically.


Last made attempt wanna change your appearance

Expressing a desire for personal change without others' approval.

You wanna bump the new me but you weren't given the clearance

Others not given permission to embrace the artist's new self.

When ya say what they say and then you do what they do

Cautioning against blindly following others' actions and losing individuality.

You're like a whole nother clone straying far from the truth

Comparing imitating others to becoming a clone, straying from personal truth.


I'm not any new messiah

Denying being a savior figure; embracing the role of an outcast or pariah.

Removed call me the pariah

Accepting the label of a pariah, an individual rejected by society.

I'm not any superhuman

Rejecting claims of superhuman abilities.

Deceived by my own delusion

Admitting being deceived by personal illusions or false beliefs.


Cold on the couch still got a pound

Physically present but feeling disconnected, possibly due to substance use.

Of the Snow White dream but I feel out of bounds

Possessing a substance but feeling out of place or uncomfortable.

Might be sick though I ain't concerned

Indifference to potential illness or issues; skepticism toward others' words.

When that'll be the last time that I take your word

Distrust in others' words, implying a previous breach of trust.


Spilled my drink then I spilled my guts

Accidental spillage and openness contrasted with being cautious about drug-related death.

Won't be so sure that I die by drugs

Ambiguity about the cause of potential death, avoiding a definitive statement.

If I do that tread light till I go

Requesting caution if death occurs by drug use.

Better that way than a dull knife to my throat

Expressing a preference for a certain type of death over another.


Been three weeks no physical contact

Isolation from physical contact and a detachment from others.

Outta sight outta mind no visual contract

Out of sight, out of mind; lack of visual reminders of others.

No hands held got a personal bubble

Preferential distance, not holding hands, and valuing personal space.

And when it's dark outside I'll be looking for trouble

Seeking trouble or excitement when alone in the dark.


Metabolizing all of the poison I put inside me

Mentally processing the effects of harmful substances ingested.

I'm a fucking lone wolf and these people they won't invite me

Embracing a solitary lifestyle, feeling uninvited by others.

Don't need a set cause I won't play at a party

Rejecting participation in social gatherings or conforming to set norms.

I'd rather get blacked out I'll be sipping Bacardi

Choosing intoxication over social engagement.


I'm not any new messiah

Reiterating the rejection of a messiah-like role.

Removed call me the pariah

Accepting the label of a pariah, emphasizing removal from societal norms.

I'm not any superhuman

Rejecting claims of superhuman abilities again.

Deceived by my own delusion

Acknowledging being misled by personal illusions or false beliefs once more.
