Descent
Connor O.R.T. Linning Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
I think it's time for vodka and gun shopping
I want a revolver that spins, fam
So I can play roulette with a Russian who grins, fam
Tattoos of bloody wings
Her earrings are used grenade pins
Ha, let's get the chaos cooking
I got a case of K licks just shipped in from Brooklyn
What else, copious amounts of molly
Me and the Russian taking turns squeezing the 38
I'm convinced that I'm gonna die before I'm 38
I don't give a fuck, though
It's in my DNA to die off the cutthroat
My granddaddy died a most violent death
Why you think I'm preoccupied with my final breath
I hear you, Geo, I still want to unseal a kilo
Eat it till my teeth go below zero in a PG casino
In a Gucci tuxedo reeking of cheap Pinot Grigio
I need some acid, man, and me no mean amino
I'm a motherfucking psychonaut, got things I want to see
Give me the DMT, the LSD, the ketamine
And, oh, where my psilocybin, don't care if I live or die
Just give me the fifth of rye so I can let me liver fry
I know I'm tripping, know I'm acting like a victim
I just miss being the Bandit, sick of people taking me for granted
I give and I give and they take and they take
Can I take a break to wake and bake and day drink and make a mistake
No, okay, well, let me daydream about breaking bad again
Bringing Bananas back and get dipsomania cracking and
Get a bottle of Jackie and drink it until I'm cackling
Accidents happen, let's make them ambulance lamps flash again
The lyrics of Connor O.R.T. Linning's song "Descent" delve into themes of despair, self-destructive behavior, and a nihilistic outlook on life. The narrative begins with the singer addressing a higher power, expressing a sense of hopelessness and the feeling that they have run out of options. The mention of turning to vodka and considering purchasing a gun reflects a dark and dangerous mindset, with the desire for a spinning revolver to play a deadly game of Russian roulette symbolizing a reckless fascination with danger and chaos.
The imagery of tattoos of bloody wings and earrings made from grenade pins paints a picture of a life steeped in violence and unpredictability. The references to drugs like opiates and molly highlight a reliance on substances to escape reality and numb the pain of existence. The singer's fatalistic outlook is further emphasized by their belief that they will not live past the age of 38, a sentiment possibly influenced by their family history of violent deaths.
As the song continues, the focus shifts to a character named Geo who desires to indulge in excess and hedonistic pleasures. The imagery of consuming a kilo of drugs and wearing a Gucci tuxedo while reeking of cheap wine underscores a sense of disconnection from reality and a craving for sensations that push the boundaries of decency. The mention of psychedelics like DMT, LSD, and ketamine reflects a desire for altered states of consciousness and a willingness to flirt with danger and potential self-destruction.
The closing verses touch on feelings of disillusionment and a yearning for a return to a past sense of freedom and rebellion. The mention of being taken for granted by others and the desire to escape through substance abuse and reckless behavior showcase a deep-seated emotional turmoil and a longing for a release from the constraints of society. The singer's contemplation of revisiting past criminal activities and embracing chaos and spontaneity conveys a sense of recklessness and a willingness to embrace the unknown, even if it means risking everything for a fleeting sense of freedom.

Sounds like a song straight out of Silent Hill or Doom 3.
