Anyway
D.T.W. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

I guess it's time for reflectin'
Duckin' 12 like I duck my reflection
Scared they might just kill a nigga fugg my complexion
I feel just like Jordan Thomas before tha Texans
Yea
I know these niggas need me
Can't decode me like a OUIJA
Stay wit' green like I'm luigi
Muh fugg a mama mia
Yea
Lately I been feelin' boxed
Smokin' til my feelings stop
All that shit you talkin' we ain't buying like it's still in stock
Let so many niggas break you down I gotta build you up
Yea
Still fixin'
Still chasin' women, Resemble video vixen
John still call me a coon but I know my pigment
Get yo hands on yo head I know you know what that pig meant
Yea
Some times we don't see eye to eye
I might throw my hands up thats if I'm driving by
Shots out tha drivers side, Thats if I driving by
They ain't knowin' my struggles
Ballin' but I'm isolated like I can't score in tha bubble
Send a text my letters outta place shi I'm knowin' it's ruzzle
Most tha time I don't know what to say just ignore when I mumble
You ever felt alone in a room wit niggas you know
Or the elephant in the room
These days you would think every nigga a goon
Sweepstakes, Bullets hit everyone in the room
Cheese cake, But it's the bezel that got her nude
You should slide thru and get yo back broke
Money on me now ain't gotta act broke
I know you ain't down no more and that's ok
Yea, that's ok
You should slide thru and get yo back broke
Money on me now ain't gotta act broke
I know you ain't down no more and that's ok
Yea, that's ok
Scrolling thru my messages
Err since a young buck shorties use to let me in
Struggle wit' adulthood but I could never be a kid
Only cuz I never wanna say that I was 12 again
Yea
I sent a message to shorty you know she came
Only hit her once but the feeling she can't erase
Trouble wit' commitment some shit I just can't escape
Niggas think they know me but still they call me D Bass
My feelings get disarrayed
I'm out of touch wit' society
Smokin' fugg that sobriety
Started back when Altice fired me
I was at yo crib every day you was cookin' me breakfast
Even if we aint have shi to say I would fugg you to netflix
I can see how even to this day you been feeling neglected
Phone buzz I just look at tha message
Losing contact, That made me look at you different
I'm fittin' tha stigma
Still
You should slide thru and get yo back broke
Money on me now ain't gotta act broke
I know you ain't down no more and that's ok
Yea, that's ok
You should slide thru and get yo back broke
Money on me now ain't gotta act broke
I know you ain't down no more and that's ok
Yea, that's ok
This is me in my feelings
It's crazy how I think when my feet on tha ceiling
Let me ask you this question
Before you make that suggestion on beats ima kill it
Yea
I'm askin who wit' me
I had a talk wit' sis and since then ian seen competition
I hate when shorties play victim
I hate when niggas ask me questions bout tha shorties I'm hittin
Yea
I can't get on records and stunt
Ian got a 100 thousand I still get bread from my moms
Going thru it wit my shorty bumpin' Donnell and Avant
Like when you love someone
It feel different don't it
Rubber band it off tha muscle you feel tension don't it
You still injured homie
Yea this that physical therapy
House a nigga like air bnb
Floatin' like air beneath me
I'm boastin' and arrogantly
Love so good
I needed that second to breathe in
I always come right back like ian pay tention to detail
I always tell flat to call me if I need reason for leaving
I got married shorties I text that I'm here for the weekend
Yea
I feel ashamed sometimes
I got some bars that go over head I jus can't dumb down
I been fuggin' bitches and gettin' money I make compound
Sentences, Shorty tryina get intimate
Brodie wit' me he keep a ball head like little bill
Shorty wit' me I'm tryina cut sumn like trillville
I know shorty fishing for compliments but I still reel
I know niggas who actin' artificial I'm still real
Yo big homie a rat yea he n tha trap but he still squeal
Brodie keep tha steel, he still, steal
I'm jus tryina get is out the hood
Like nipsey said I double up on this amount im good
Be careful with the love you dishing out even wit blood
Cuz niggas turn to shug
11:11 Smoke, like I wish a nigga wood
Yea
I know it feel different when you hear bars from a nigga who really got em
Free my niggas behind em




Shorty a spoiled apple can't eat her because she rotten
Love so good

Lyrics:
Do you roll with the waves?
Do you duck into deep blue safety?
Is it always the same?
Do you wish that you loved me?

Do you pull at the chains?
Do you push into constant aching,
Each and every day?
Do you wish that you loved me?

Is there something you give?
That you will never recieve in return?
Do you know what it is?
Do you wish that you loved me?

Are you trying to live
Like everything is a lesson to learn?
Can you ever forgive yourself?
Do you wish that you loved me?

My reflection just won't smile back at me like I know it should.
I would turn into a stranger in an instant if I could.
There is something eating me alive I don't know what it is.
Maybe not that you conceal your feelings they just don't exist.

Do you ever belive we can turn into different people?
It's getting harder to be myself.
Do you wish that you loved me?

Could we ever release?
Is it better to just not feel?
Can we hit delete?
Do wish that you loved me?

And it's been so long that I'm forgetting what it feels like.
But I'd rather not remind myself and leave it all behind.
And I try so hard to fix it all but nothing seems to help
But I cannot hope to give you what I cannot give myself.

Do you wished that you loved me?
(Smile back)
Do you wished that you loved me?
(At me)
Do you wished that you loved me?
Do you wished that you loved me?
(Delete)

Do you wished that you loved me?
(Smile back)
Do you wished that you loved me?
(At me)
Do you wished that you loved me?
Do you wished that you loved me?

I've listened to this song probably a hundred times already. This video is one that makes the most sense to me, in terms of the totem. This, in my opinion, is obviously a heart that has grown toxic or venomous with malignant tendrils, hardened with armor, and wearing a mask to conceal itself, and a knife to attack. This damaged heart is Vessel's adversary, something that he fights with. This devilish heart and the pain it causes keeps vessel further from sleep. It also has some mechanical qualities, that could be it's life support system. Not sure if the significance of that though.

Around 2:20 when he sings the lyrics "Do you ever believe we could turn into different people?
It's getting harder to be myself." the heart starts pouring black liquid, maybe venomous tears from it's mask. This could be Vessel's heart obsessing over and mourning for his lost love, in my opinion.

Around 3:00 Vessel sings "But I'd rather not remind myself and leave it all behind
And I've tried so hard to fix it oh but nothing seems to help
But I cannot hope to give you what I cannot give myself" the heart stops pouring venom and the mask reverts to normal. I feel like this is Vessel overcoming his heartache and moving on.

I could be completely off base, but to me, it feels like a transition from obsession and rejection to recovery and self acceptance. This heart may be one of Vessel's strongest opponents between him and Sleep, but the end of the song feels nearer to Sleep and peace than the beginning.

Even if I'm completely wrong, and it's just a song with a random image, it's an amazing song, and they never cease to impress. Worship.

It's always better not to expect anything from a new Sleep Token song, but I really didn't see this coming. I'm confused and that's better than many others feelings.
