Sitting at the end of the road
Never hear what I'm told
And like I got everyone watching me
No one watching me
Though, I don't need anything
From no one
I never felt lonesome
I find my hope inside my smoke
My eyes turn red like
Devilish on a Sunday

Drivin' fast down a one-way
Believe you me, I'm a hot boy
100 degrees, kill a opp, boy
I don't need no smoke
Bitch, I am the smoke
Give me space, I don't show my face
I don't smile before, run my fade
I don't run away from my problems
Ain't got debt to pay
I ain't been afraid
Bitch, I lived afraid
So what's my name?

Fuck up out my face
I don't smile no more, but we okay
No, we fuckin' great
I don't hold my tongue now bite the grape
Say my fucking name
Wait, don't say my motherfucking name
Fuck up out my face
I don't smile no more, but we all great
Fuck up out my face
I don't smile no more, but we okay
Yeah, we fucking great
I don't hold my tongue now bite the grape
Say my fucking name
Wait, don't say my motherfucking name
Fuck up out my face
I don't smile no more, but we all great

That's what you want
We from the mud
Fuck is you dying for?
Stare at the sun
The loneliest one be making the flowers grow
Stomp on the garden
Know what you started
Started a fire, I started a riot
I was not invited
Nothin' but violence, nothin' but sirens
Moment of silence
Make me excited in my head
They ain't tryna play with me

Fuck up out my face
I don't smile no more, but we okay
No, we fuckin' great
I don't hold my tongue now bite the grape
Say my fucking name
Wait, don't say my motherfucking name
Fuck up out my face
I don't smile no more, but we all great
Fuck up out my face
I don't smile no more, but we okay
Yeah, we fucking great
I don't hold my tongue now bite the grape
Say my fucking name
Wait, don't say my motherfucking name
Fuck up out my face
I don't smile no more, but we all great
Great

Overall Meaning

In Jean Dawson’s song MENTHOL*, the lyrics describe a person who is isolated and independent, not needing anyone else but themselves. The first lines of the song indicate that the person is at the end of the road and never hears what they are told. They feel like everyone is watching them, but ironically, no one is paying attention. The person finds hope in smoking and their eyes turn red like the devilish red color on a Sunday. They don’t need anyone, and they are a hot boy, who can kill their opponent at 100 degrees.

The chorus states the person’s need to be left alone - to get out of their face. They are not smiling anymore but feeling great, and they don’t hold their tongue when it comes to speaking up. In the second verse, the person states that they were not invited but still started a fire, causing a riot. The lonely one is depicted as someone who makes flowers grow but can also stomp on the garden at the same time. The person is excited in their head and no one wants to play with them.

Overall, the song describes a person who is somewhat disillusioned and isolated from the world, who finds hope in smoking and needs no one. The person is not afraid of their problems and will face them head-on without fear.

Taking a moment to reflect on the chaos and destruction

Make me excited in my head
The chaos and destruction are exhilarating to me

They ain't tryna play with me
No one wants to cross me or mess with me

Great
I am in a good place overall, despite the chaos and rebellion I am inciting
