Ekkstacy began creating music during high school, taking influence from film, and artists including Elliott Smith, The Drums, Bon Iver, and Bedroom. His music primarily involved youtube beats, in which he sang over. He released his debut EP Negative in November 2021, with the single "I Walk This Earth All by Myself" becoming what is considered to be his most popular song. He released the album Misery in September 2022, a more rock and new wave inspired album than his previous release.
I walk this earth all by myself
EKKSTACY Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I′m doing drugs but they don't help
My voice is nothing when I′m screaming out for help
I stretch my hand but my grip just gives out
Aah-ah, aah-ah
Aah-ah, aah-ah
Aah-ah, aah-ah
Nobody gives a fuck about me
That's what I think to myself when I'm alone in the city
I walk around the mall but there′s nobody with me
What do I say when there′s nobody listening?
I walk this earth all by myself
I'm doing drugs but they don′t help
My voice is nothing when I'm screaming out for help
I stretch my hand but my grip just gives out
I walk this earth all by myself
I′m doing drugs but they don't help
My voice is nothing when I′m screaming out for help
I stretch my hand but my grip just gives out
In "I Walk This Earth All By Myself," EKKSTACY describes the feelings of isolation and loneliness that are weighing heavily on him. He feels like he is surrounded by people but he is all alone, and even the drugs he takes to numb the pain aren't helping. The metaphor of walking the earth by himself showcases a sense of detachment from other people and a feeling of being on his own in the world. The statement of "My voice is nothing when I'm screaming out for help" suggests that he has tried reaching out to others for support but has been unsuccessful. It's like he's stuck and doesn't know how to break through.
The chorus is a repetition of the verses that magnifies the feeling of loneliness and desperation. The use of the phrase "nobody gives a fuck about me" shows how much EKKSTACY is struggling to feel significant in a world that may not notice him or his suffering. He feels invisible even in the crowded malls where there's nobody with him. The question of "What do I say when there′s nobody listening?" emphasizes the importance of having someone who will listen when in distress.
Overall, "I Walk This Earth All By Myself" is a powerful and emotional representation of the struggles of loneliness and isolation. It's a reminder that even in a world where it seems like everyone is connected, some people still struggle profoundly with feelings of being alone and misunderstood.

@@clackerjack4165its actually the opposite of what you're saying, the radio favors "four to the floor" music. This isnt on the radio because its kin to sadboy music. This is a great song but the radio dosent promote these type of songs
