Their time in Los Angeles has been highlighted by a series of private rooftop concerts that overlook training grounds for the L.A.P.D. riot squads - the scrambling helicopters and practice gun battles below adding to the sinister dystopian vibe of their compositions.

Laid up in my bed guess I'd rather just be drinking, or vibing with my friends
Yea I thought that this would never end
Now I'm praying that my future will not catch up with my sins
Now I'm back up, back up, now I'm bout to get my bag up, bag up
Never thought that this would last yea, last yea now
It's stuck up in the past yea, past yea
Now it's time for me to move on live to see another day
But I listen to my head and I take my path another way
Ima stay at home right now cause I don't wanna see your face
I said tell me what your thinking, all my thoughts are sinking
Laid up in my bed guess I'd rather just be drinking, or vibing with my friends
Yea I thought that this would never end
Now I'm praying that my future will not catch up with my sins
Late at night, got my head spinning
I was calling you up you left the phone ringing
Couldn't get you back so I started singing, tweaking
Yea I guess I was really geeking woah
I pictured us for the long ride now you leave me lone
Thinking lonely on the long nights
Sitting by my phone all alone got me uptight
Wish you hadn't gone but I know it's gone be alright woah
Now I'm in the back of a maybach yea they throwing shots
Now I'm looking for some payback
90 on the dash now I'm asking where the cash at
Yea I'm done with you already blocked on the Snapchat
Steady getting better now I'm up on my comeback
Now I'm up on my comeback, if you want we can run that
If you want we can run that
I said tell me what your thinking, all my thoughts are sinking
Laid up in my bed guess I'd rather just be drinking, or vibing with my friends
Yea I thought that this would never end
Now I'm praying that my future will not catch up with my sins
Every day I gave it all every day I took the fall
But it still looked bad on me yea it still looked bad on me
Every day I gave it all every day I took the fall
But it still looked bad on me yea it still looked bad on me
Tell me what your thinking
Now I'm wide awake not blinking
Now I'm wide awake not dreaming
Until you tell me what your thinking woah
The lyrics of D.A.N.'s song Time Machine explore the complex emotions of someone trying to move on from a past relationship. The singer reveals that they are struggling to get over their ex and are finding it hard to move on. They are torn between their heart and their head, with their heart telling them to stay and their head telling them to move on. Despite the pain and the feelings of sinking, the singer is slowly starting to feel better and is preparing for a comeback.
The lyrics describe the singer's struggle to let go and move on with their life. They are drinking and spending time with friends in an effort to forget about their ex, but their thoughts continue to weigh them down. They are truly hoping that their future will not be defined by the mistakes of their past. They also sing about the insecurity and loneliness they experience since their ex left them.
As the song progresses, the singer becomes more empowered with each verse. They start to distance themselves from their ex, blocking them on Snapchat and driving around town in their Maybach. They are finally ready to move on from their past relationship and focus on their comeback.
