Plunging into the mind of Alex G feels like stepping into a psychological funhouse with mirrors that twist reality and exaggerate reflections. The lyrics here paint a haunting canvas of personal struggle. Promises and medicine, both meant to heal, ironically leave stains and have side effects. There's discomfort—a festering issue “buried right below the skin” that someone’s ready to carve out, hinting at a manipulation or an unwanted influence. The repeated wish to "come back down" evokes a need to return to a grounded, untroubled state. Alex G captures the essence of wrestling with inner demons while dealing with external pressures, all wrapped up in poetic ambiguity and raw honesty. Hold on tight, because this lyrical rollercoaster spirals into the complexities of human emotion and introspection.
