Calcium
ECCO2k Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oh what's going on?
I'm still covered in Dry Gloss and I can't take it off
Oh, and it's just me and myself
Just the two of us
Spend some time alone with you now
You're my only one
A thing for you
I think of you
Am I going crazy?
A thing for you
A thing for you, a thing
(Don't take me back again, don't take me back again)
It's so hard to hide but so easy to find
(Lost my shine, I star and cross my eyes)
All my heart is blind, I star and cross my eyes
(Lost my shine, I star and cross my eyes)
Hydrogen peroxide, lime and ice
(Lost my shine, I star and cross my eyes)
Silver lights, I let it oxidize (oxidize)
I've been rolling oxen bone
Double K crystals kiss my nose
Double K crystals kiss my nose
Double K crystals kiss my nose
Baby, kiss me through the phone
Ecco2k, I lost all hope
Smoking on dope, I feel so cold
Smoking on dope, I feel so cold
Live on islands made of stone
Rob that nigga for his coat
Twenty five thousand on Silk Road
Shine, shine, shine, shine, shine, that glow
Obviously silver, not no gold
Tried to keep up and he went broke
Steaming hot, they don't want no smoke
2g K, went to the hole
All my heart is fine, I star and cross my eyes
Can never let you cross my mind
Oh, I try, it happens all the time
All my heart is blind, I star and cross my eyes
Can never let you cross my mind
Oh, I try, it happens all the time
I'm unravelling, and I'm panicking
Feel like I'm paper-thin, and now I'm tearing
Help my please, give me Calcium
I think I'm fracturing
I need bandaging, don't take me back again
I feel like Marilyn, but I'm not acting again
This might be the end, I think it might be
I'm seeing evil men, am I imagining them?
I think I might be
I've been rolling oxen bone
Double K crystals kiss my nose
Double K crystals kiss my nose
Double K crystals kiss my nose
Baby, kiss me through the phone
Ecco2k, I lost all hope
Smoking on dope, I feel so cold
Smoking on dope, I feel so cold
Live on islands made of stone
Rob that nigga for his coat
Twenty-five thousand on Silk Road
Shine, shine, shine, shine, shine, that glow
Obviously silver, not no gold
Tried to keep up and he went broke
Steaming hot, they don't want no smoke
2g K, went to the hole
(Lost my shine, I star and cross my eyes)
Double K crystals kiss my nose
(Lost my shine, I star and cross my eyes)
Ecco2k, I lost all hope
(Lost my shine, I star and cross my eyes)
Live on islands made of stone
(Lost my shine, I star and cross my eyes)
Twenty five thousand on Silk Road
Double K crystals kiss my nose
Double K crystals kiss my nose
Double K crystals kiss my nose
Double K crystals kiss my nose
Double K crystals kiss my nose
Double K crystals kiss my nose
Double K crystals kiss my nose
Double K crystals kiss my nose
Double K crystals kiss my nose
Double K crystals kiss my nose
Double K crystals kiss my nose
Double K crystals kiss my nose
Double K crystals kiss my nose
Double K crystals kiss my nose
Double K crystals kiss my nose
Double K crystals kiss my nose
I feel like I'm flying
And sinking at the same time
Like I'm being pulled from below
And from above
In every direction, at once
The lyrics in ECCO2k's song Calcium explore themes of love, longing, and addiction. The opening lines express the artist's confusion about their emotions, wondering if they have fallen for someone while still feeling trapped in a state of addiction represented by their inability to remove "Dry Gloss". There is an emphasis on the self, "just me and myself, just the two of us," yet a desire to spend time with the subject of affection.
The song's chorus repeats the phrase "a thing for you" and questions if the artist is going crazy. The second verse highlights the difficulty of hiding addiction and the ease in finding it. The lyrics reference hydrogen peroxide and lime, substances commonly used in beauty treatments, as well as the use of drugs such as oxen bone and crystals. The line "I lost all hope" conveys a sense of hopelessness and despair, and the artist's desire for a drug-free existence represented by the need for "Calcium" to heal their "fracturing" state.
The repetition of "Double K crystals kiss my nose" throughout the song reinforces the addictive nature of the substances mentioned. The artist also expresses a sense of delusion and paranoia by imagining "evil men" and wondering if they are "imagining them." The final lines of the song convey a sense of confusion and disorientation, as the artist feels pulled in different directions simultaneously.

Smoking on dope, I feel so cold
Smoking on dope, I feel so cold
Live on islands made of stone
Rob that nigga for his coat
Twenty five thousand on Silk Road
Shine, shine, shine, shine, shine, that glow

Steaming hot, they don't want no smoke
2g K, went to the hole
I'm hopeless and feeling numb due to drug use. I feel isolated and am willing to harm others for material possessions. I'm fascinated with material success, but don't want to face the consequences. Others are intimidated by my presence, but I'm not above prison time for my actions
All my heart is fine, I star and cross my eyes
Can never let you cross my mind
Oh, I try, it happens all the time
I'm deceiving myself and trying to avoid thinking about the person I like. But, no matter how hard I try, thoughts of them consume me
I'm unravelling, and I'm panicking
Feel like I'm paper-thin, and now I'm tearing
Help my please, give me Calcium
I think I'm fracturing
I need bandaging, don't take me back again
I feel like Marilyn, but I'm not acting again
This might be the end, I think it might be
I'm seeing evil men, am I imagining them?
I think I might be
I'm falling apart and feeling anxious. I feel fragile and am starting to break. I need help to keep myself from falling apart. I fear I'm breaking beyond repair, and don't want to return to my old self. Possible mental breakdown. I'm seeing things that aren't there and may be losing my grip on reality
I feel like I'm flying
And sinking at the same time
Like I'm being pulled from below
And from above
In every direction, at once
I feel lost and confused, like my emotions are pulling me in every direction at once
