SATURATION 2055
BROCKHAMPTON Lyrics

From the smog and the smoke
Emerging from a polluted and chaotic environment

Had 'em checkin' out the other side
Causing others to become curious about something new

Had 'em leanin' out the other side
Creating a sense of imbalance and curiosity

I'm by myself
Being alone and independent

I'll probably turn up by myself
Enjoying oneself without relying on others

I keep delaying all my work because
Procrastinating and struggling to find assistance

I can't find no help
Unable to find support or assistance

You make me feel like such a loser
Feeling inadequate and insignificant because of someone's actions or words

A loser, a rental a dentist, I been to
Identifying oneself as a loser, attaching labels to personal experiences

And take a lose from me and I'll be out it
Allowing oneself to be affected by a loss and exiting a situation

Out it tryna make y' smile, wanna make out
Seeking validation and intimacy, expressing a desire to connect physically

But I'm too childish, childish
Recognizing one's immaturity and inability to handle certain situations

Fucked a loser, in his rental
Engaging in a sexual encounter with someone considered to be a loser

You got freckles on your lip, lip, lip
Observing physical features of the person

They might give you cancer, shit, shit, shit
Expressing concern for potential harm caused by those freckles

Wring your wrist and take a swish, swish
Engaging in self-destructive behaviors like self-harm

Swish
The act of self-harming

Big hole, flushin' out the script, script
Using substances to escape reality and numb oneself

Backwoods, blowin' off a zip, zip, zip
Smoking marijuana excessively

So we still spit the belt
Continuing to rap with skill and passion

Ain't no heaven on a hell
Recognizing that there is no perfect or ideal situation

Brush your hair so I see your
Adjusting appearance to be more noticeable or attractive

I don't wanna be sober
Preferring to be under the influence of substances

So I can lie to my lovers
Using intoxication as an excuse for dishonesty or deception

Got sad and said I loved her
Expressing false emotions while feeling down

I was high, I ain't mean it
Leaving behind the authentic self while under the influence

I ain't lyin', I got problems
Admitting to having personal struggles and difficulties

I'll leave for no reason
Leaving a situation without a clear motive or purpose

Make love with no feelings
Engaging in intimate acts without emotional attachment

I be your nigga for the evening
Offering temporary companionship and affection

In between the bridges filled with kerosene
Existence amidst volatile and explosive circumstances

Are words we never said
Untold thoughts and unexpressed emotions

Turned into a routine
Repeating patterns and behaviors

My feelings still remain unseen
Emotions going unnoticed or unacknowledged

Can't intervene with anything that's on the screen
Unable to interfere or affect something happening in a digital or virtual world

when life is playin'
During times of uncertainty and unpredictability

They play games and expect me to pick a team
Others engage in manipulative actions and demand loyalty

I can't win, I can't breathe
Feeling trapped and suffocated by overwhelming circumstances

Everything ain't what it seems
Things are not as they appear on the surface

I played my case and then
Presenting one's argument or perspective to no avail

Erase my underlying self-esteem
Damaging one's own confidence and self-worth

I know it's awful for my health
Recognizing that certain thoughts or actions harm one's well-being

I know it all becomes extreme
Understanding that situations escalate to the point of extremity

I can't redeem from this regime that's invaded all of my dreams
Feeling trapped and unable to escape the negative influences that infiltrate one's subconscious

From the asphalt to the steam
Moving from a harsh and rough environment to a more intense and heated one

We found a theme then made a scene
Discovering a common thread and creating an impactful moment

At the moment that the guillotine was the only vaccine
During a critical moment of decision where drastic action is the perceived solution

don't intervene
Requesting others to stay out of the situation

Shit ain't been the same since I was 17
Life has drastically changed and lost its innocence since a younger age

Fuckin' up is in my genes, I
Making mistakes is inherent and a part of one's nature

Think I need a quarantine, yeah
Desiring seclusion and separation as a means of self-improvement and introspection

Chain-smoking, got twenty things on my mind
Engaging in excessive smoking to cope with overwhelming thoughts and concerns

Fake feelings, when I hit it from behind
Feigning emotions and intimacy during sexual encounters

Consenting to my heart's demise
Willfully accepting and allowing one's heart to be damaged or destroyed

I fall in love and fall in line
Becoming infatuated and conforming to societal expectations of love

Tip toe-in' in tap shoes when you're sleepin' in the corner
Acting cautiously and quietly when someone is vulnerable and unaware

Leave before I fall in love with you
Exiting a potential emotional connection before getting too attached

I'm a self-proclaimed loner
Acknowledging and embracing one's preference for solitude

A novice with a master plan
Being inexperienced but having a well-thought-out strategy

Genuine but fraudulent
Having good intentions but still engaging in deceptive behavior
