BUILDING BLUEPRINT
Next level lyrical insight is a moment away.
Lyrical Analysis of...
All The Same
- //Verse//
- Standin’ against the rested hood of my LeSabre, fingers sketchin’ patterns
- In the windshield, this shit doesn’t just grip you, it latches
- Onto you, it sermonizes, and you know I’m a believer
- NYPD cruisers pulsing like heartbeats down the block, the city’s bleeding
- It always does, the mayor wanna throw money at tech startups
- And tourism ads, but nothing touches the rot in the corners of these parts though
- I’m not just part of it, I’m one of its architects, I reach into the pocket
- Of my jacket and pull out my Glock 43, don’t care if it’s illegal
- Because it’s necessary if I wanna keep breathin’
- Protection is just another drug in a place where people be vanishing
- Like tabloid headlines, expensive and useless, but is it actually
- The weight of my failures get lifted for fifteen minutes
- Now I’m attempting to go back, I’m chasing the lift again
- Take that shit like it’s communion, then I leave
- And disappear into the crumbling ribs of the building
- Which used to be beautiful, but now it’s just another relic
- Then I hear a heavy crash coming from inside of it
- The sound of someone falling through the bottom of themselves with pain
- Light a cigarette and watch the smoke elevate
- //Chorus//
- Licking the flames
- Even when your skin’s already a reminder of your last mistake
- It’s all the same ride
- One that doesn’t even stop for gas while you’re busy pretending to drive
- Licking the flames
- Even when your skin’s already a reminder of your last mistake
- It’s all the same ride
- One that doesn’t even stop for gas while you’re busy pretending to drive
- //Verse//
- Ever seen a guy spiral down, like Breaking Bad without the chemistry
- Just the breaking, it ain’t glamorous like Requiem’s cinematic misery
- It’s you telling yourself you’ll quit, but you won’t, though
- It starts off like a heist flick, except you’re going solo
- You're casing your own life for weaknesses, first it’s your time
- Then your wallet, then your fucking dignity, it’s organized
- Self destruction, with you as both the criminal and the crime scene
- Pulling a one man Purge on your future every goddamn day
- Then the guilt crashes in harder than a DEA raid
- The wreckage is biblical, more collateral damage than a Michael Bay movie has
- Even your dog doesn’t wag his tail anymore when he greets ya
- By the time you notice the flames, you’re standing in a house of ash
- Wondering who lit the match, spoiler alert, it was you, dumbass
- Light another cigarette and inhale, everything in the room fading
- Nobody’s gonna find me tonight, cause no one’s looking, searching, or waiting
- Just a silhouette in a forgotten building, breathing in ruin
- And outside, the city’s glitterin’ indifferent to what’s stewin’
- //Chorus//
- Licking the flames
- Even when your skin’s already a reminder of your last mistake
- It’s all the same ride
- One that doesn’t even stop for gas while you’re busy pretending to drive
- Licking the flames
- Even when your skin’s already a reminder of your last mistake
- It’s all the same ride
- One that doesn’t even stop for gas while you’re busy pretending to drive
- //Verse//
- TV blinking with static, I push the door gently and it’s not locked
- Sirens outside starting again, slicing wails from the cars of the cops
- Moving through midnight, sounding like surgical nights, someone else is bleeding
- Someone else had broke, miser multiplies fast where we from
- It starts small, itty bitty, like a quiet little itch beneath the skin and on your bones
- Invisible, insidious, you ignore it, but it simmers like a skillet on low
- Until one night you give in, tell yourself it’s only this time
- But the bitch of it is that every time is this time when your spine is a lie
- And then it hits and slides, slick and sinister like a snake in a silk tie
- Suddenly you’re invincible, and you’re walking the line
- Between thrill and kill, like it’s a tightrope tied around your neck
- Inviting the fall, in fact you’re itching for it to take effect
- Because falling’s the only time you feel anything close to flying
- Crime’s your new hobby, picking locks with credit cards
- Breaking rules is a ritual until reality comes and knocks
- You’re knee deep in ruin, but you call it survival
- Even the silence gets sick of you, that’s the killer, it’s the idle, itchy isolation
- You sit there scrolling old texts, but everyone’s gone, even your homie
- Who once did business with a kid in a Pikachu hat and clothes too
- //Chorus//
- Licking the flames
- Even when your skin’s already a reminder of your last mistake
- It’s all the same ride
- One that doesn’t even stop for gas while you’re busy pretending to drive
- Licking the flames
- Even when your skin’s already a reminder of your last mistake
- It’s all the same ride
- One that doesn’t even stop for gas while you’re busy pretending to drive
