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.

EKKSTACY Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That it′s all for nothin'
And I know
That I′ve been away
For a while
If you go I'll
Fall
If you go I'll
You should of told me
To never come back
You destroyed everything
That make me smile
If you go I′ll
Fall
Fall
If you go I′ll
The opening lines of EKKSTACY's song "eyeliner" evoke feelings of despair and disillusionment. The singer seems to be reflecting on a realization that everything they've been striving for, all the effort they've put into something or someone, was ultimately meaningless. They've been absent for some time, perhaps lost in thought or struggling to come to grips with this realization. The repetition of "fall" emphasizes their sense of falling from grace or losing their footing in life.
The next lines appear to be directed at someone else, perhaps a former lover or friend who betrayed the singer. The command "You should have told me to never come back" suggests that the singer is haunted by memories of a painful rejection or abandonment. They feel that this person has caused them immense harm, taking away the things that brought them joy or made them smile. Despite their pain and anger, however, the singer's vulnerability is also apparent in their admission that they will fall if this person leaves them again.
Overall, "eyeliner" is a song about the fragility of human connections and the pain of seeing those connections fall apart. The lyrics capture a sense of helplessness and longing, as the singer grapples with their own feelings of worthlessness in the aftermath of loss.
Line by Line Meaning
When did I realize
At what moment did I comprehend
That it's all for nothin'
That everything is meaningless
And I know
I am aware
That I've been away
And I have been distant
For a while
For some time now
If you go I'll
I will stumble and lose myself
Fall
And crumble to the ground
If you go I'll
Without you, I will be lost
You should of told me
You ought to have informed me
To never come back
To never return
You destroyed everything
You ruined all that mattered
That make me smile
That brought happiness to me
If you go I'll
If you leave, I will collapse
Fall
And crumble to the ground
If you go I'll
Without you, I will be lost
