Lyrics

“I’m caught in a trap 

Threw way the key and I never looked back

Don’t look at me and what’s that in my back? 

All I got is love but my heart screams attack x2 


Guess I gotta get it from the get go 

Had a lotta lovers wouldn’t leave it so I let go

They only be sayin I’m a sucker cause I said so 

Hyped like a huckleberry, where’d your homies head go? Huh? 

We only do if it’s ten toes, wait.

Is it deep is it down?

You a sheep or a clown? 

They be feeling profound 

Really reachin around 

It be creepin us out 

Man I feel for me now 

Please don’t read this out loud, Fuck. 


Shit 

Get back into it 

Bad rap influence 

Is all I had

So can I act diligent 

Wait a minute Dylan 

Now do that shit different 

Get back under the bus 

What you runnin from? 

What’s the rush? 

Stay right here and play with us

Okay guys really that’s enough 

Okay guys really that’s enough 

Okay guys REALLY THATS ENOUGH 

Okay guys let’s fuck shit up  

Gonna face myself 

Gonna knuckle up 

Better buckle up 

Not a runner up 

Not a runner but 

I’ll keep runnin what 

You keep wantin huh?

Tortured mind of an artist 

That’s what I like to call it 

Sick of all this word vomit 

Think you gotta call the pot an alcoholic”

 The lyrics represent a conflict. At the beginning, the artist seems to believe that the conflict is external, slowly coming to realise that it's internal, a battle against their own mind & predisposition to addictive tendencies. The song is highly emotional, there is a lot of anger, doubt, fear & sadness. There is an undeniable vulnerability to it, you get the sense that the speaker craves unconditional love, like a scared kid with no boundaries or protection. It's the story of someone coming to terms with their demons.

 The speaker is tired, fighting constantly just to survive his own mind. But there is an underlying sense of unwavering determination to confront & tackle those issues before he drowns in them. The core theme seems to be addiction & some kind of mental disorder. There is a strong sense of feeling lost, struggling to find direction, & two sides of the same person desperately fighting for control over the other. It’s about growing up, maturing and taking accountability so he can change for the better, even if you get the sense he’s not quite sure if he can make it.
