Doom
J. Whitman Lyrics

Well here we are again just you and me
The singer is alone with their thoughts and feelings once more.

I don't need a friend, maybe two or three That's me myself, and I, happiness will Be awhile until I remember how to freestyle right
The singer is content with being alone for now and needs time to focus on their own creativity and happiness.

Man, I see bland faces, floating next to me Is this my destiny? Hope not, or I might throw up, to lose the recipe
The singer is surrounded by people who lack depth or personality, and fears that this may be their future as well.

Man, I sure can stay inside my head And play dead, like night of the living white dreads Who want to be angry, but them seem frightened Sort of reminiscent of clash of the teen titans
The artist is skilled at escaping reality and putting up a facade to hide their true emotions. They draw a comparison to the cartoon 'Teen Titans' where characters hide their true feelings.

I used to have a girlfriend, but it was Time to go When she was trying to show How much hate she could still taste from things that happened awhile ago It was wearing thin, but I can be a trifle slow Especially on a tourniquet that should've stymied her flow I never earned her full bliss, it went wrong But my permagrin is quite strong, like 500, 000 miles long Cry on, cause I'm like the swan
The artist reflects on a past relationship that ended due to unresolved issues. They admit that they were slow to see the negative aspects of the relationship, but remain optimistic about the future with their 'perma-grin' or constant optimistic attitude.

And if this mic is on I guess I might stay on long enough to write this song Yeah, right, it's hype, get your clothes girl I don't have the time or mood to make your toes curl No more open mics? No sir Ever since you laid the cold hurt, it's a ghost world
The singer feels empowered when performing on stage, but admits that they don't have time or energy for anyone else's drama. They reference a past hurt that has left them feeling disconnected from others, resulting in a sense of loneliness.

Next, a strict regiment of sets on the bowflex Chromium to mold flesh and wheat grass to show the rest Meditation and some slow stretching Let the mind go to rest when necessary, speaking of which, no sex It's a time to heal, not a time to hate And don't try to keep it real in such a sad state Just be depressed for a sec, and if it ends late Be like yay! I made through to the next day
The singer is taking care of their physical and mental health, prioritizing exercise and meditation over sex. They emphasize the importance of taking time to heal and move past negative emotions, even if it means feeling depressed for a little while before moving on.

The best say, you can't stay in one place too long The rest say, you're gay if you still like those old love songs The test press day is now, I best press play and taste the sound Just in case I see a queen and want to checkmate her style
The artist contrasts differing opinions on whether or not it's okay to stay in one place emotionally, and acknowledges that they need to find balance. They mention their interest in meeting new people, and assert that they are ready for whatever opportunities come their way.

And we could just embrace, or ride out But right now, I'm still looking for love inside my hideout It's really nothing to cry about But when I'm out patience with my mistakes, it's like, God, get the white-out!
The artist is open to the possibility of a relationship, but is still searching for love in their own way. They acknowledge that making mistakes is a normal part of life, but can become frustrating when it keeps happening. The 'white-out' reference suggests a desire to erase past missteps.

What a messy fuss, it happens to the best of us Love/hate to raise the heart rate up to your chest to bust And leave you with just enough stress to cuss Ooh trouble, two's a couple, three's treacherous
The artist acknowledges that love and relationships can be messy and emotionally charged, leaving them feeling high-strung and stressed out. They observe that having just two people together is manageable, but throwing a third person into the mix can cause trouble.

And got you open like the high seas Hoping like these for the squeeze on live G's Jive turkeys, they lucky if they survive the depths of hell, it's murky Jerky, come on work with me See how she's twerking the skirt with tits perky A flirt with a smirk that could body you in one shot glance And let 'em rot, I'm like, not a chance, hot pants!
The singer compares love and relationships to the unpredictability of the ocean, and notes the vulnerability that comes with opening oneself up to another person. They dispel the idea that relationships are easy or carefree, and reference 'twerking' and flirtation to suggest the sexual side of these connections.

Run feet, and keep from off front street That sizzle like the blunt heat, with business that's for under sheets Creep on secret missions, peep it Or else be in some deep shit, with more fishes to sleep with
The artist advises caution when approaching romantic relationships, referencing the idea of keeping things 'under sheets' or hidden. They warn that rushing into things or being careless can lead to trouble, and use the metaphor of deep sea creatures to suggest danger lurking beneath the surface.
