My feet slipping on … Read Full Bio ↴bleed liquid gold and slur speech in a cryptic code
My feet slipping on this twisted road
Only the mystic knows the lone figure in the distance
No bigger than the sum of his inscriptions
Or the extent of his conviction
I sip vitamin enriched liquid diction
And digest fiction for culture
I'm force fed, behold the monster
My head and it connected by bulb
Tryna hold things together like the skins I fold
And take my food for thought with a pinch of salt
Chewed to form, my sin results in self doubt
Look into my eyes, I don't need to spell it out
You can see it, how I tripped and fell down
And picked myself up, turned myself round
From the cliff's edge, and staggered home like a misled
Piss head, and put up a fight till my fists bled
I choke on lead, until my spit's red
When I step outside to get a quick breath
Of fresh death, now there's no air left
And fifty percent of us couldn't care less
I bare flesh, exposed to the cancerous
Light like tearing the film out your cameras
I'm still ravenous, I feel my stomach acid
Keep burning as I work towards another classic
Melt your plastic chap, snatch your comfort blanket
In this cold world you're naked and unattractive
And your tactics are underhanded
I hibernate through the winter, and wait for the summer madness
Sally
D.I.T.D Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Bury me, leave me, leave
Centre still, I would kill
You'll be free, I'll be me, recipe
If it's all wrong watch it dribble
But you ok, leave me cripple
Drive slow
Put seashells in my head
Sally sells seashells underneath the bar tonight
Give me one last dance
Left my love in the back of a wandering eye
Lowly lay in the crack of a diamond till I
Blowback raw, they want more, sickle throat and rewind
Levitate soul to take, she was never in time
Slowly break its starting
Heavy headed crying
Belly full of poison
The timer blows off again, her memory never pretend knuckles bleed to violence
Petals drop to silence
Show a face and run away, she bore me in hate
Shake her fate she not the same, eyes balling the pain
Where you come from, what you gon do?
Sleep on my step, devil in dress
Swing so swing by, day gone day kept
Break till I grow, sweet high sweet low
Drive slow
Bittersweet dreams, bittersweet dreams
Sally put seashells in my pocket
Put seashells in my head
Sally sells seashells underneath
the bar tonight
Give me one last dance
The first stanza of the song talks about dependence on someone, and the consequences of letting go. The singer is urging someone to lean on him, but also to leave him if they need to. He would willingly kill for the other person's freedom, even if he himself would suffer as a result. The lyrics are cryptic, but it seems that the singer is addressing someone who is struggling with something, and is encouraging them to make a choice. The chorus mentions Sally, who puts seashells in the singer's pocket and head. Sally could represent something or someone who brings peace and calm to the singer's life. The singer asks Sally for one last dance, which could indicate a final farewell.
The second stanza of the song is more abstract than the first. It mentions a lost love and the singer's own pain. The line "Lowly lay in the crack of a diamond till I" seems to suggest that the singer is in a dark place, trapped in a difficult situation. The lyrics describe a sense of desperation, with the singer talking about poison, violence, and even the devil. The repetition of the phrase "drive slow" could indicate a warning to slow down and think carefully before making any decisions. The chorus repeats again, with the singer asking Sally to give him one last dance. Overall, the song seems to be about struggling with complicated emotions and trying to find a way forward.
