King avriel Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Can you make it numb?
And kill the pain like Cortizone
And grant me intimacy
How'll we split your chromosomes?
Yea, more sweet narcossis
Yea, more sweet narcossis
Yeah more sweet narcossis
(I'll turn a stone, I'll find you)
I turn a stone I'll find you there
Into reflected light I'll stare
You blind me with flash bulbs
And puzzle me with syllables
(Back to sleep)
Yea, more sweet narcossis
(I'll turn a stone, I'll find you)
Yea, more sweet narcossis
(I'll turn a stone, I'll find you)
Yeah, more sweet narcossis
(I'll turn a stone, I'll find you)
My head's between my knees again
Got a needle set to zero
And you can shoot me hurricanes
Don't spare me the details
Yea, more sweet narcossis
(I'll turn a stone I'll find you)
Yea, more sweet narcossis
(I'll turn a stone I'll find you)
Yea, more sweet narcossis
More sweet
More sweet
(Iconography)
You look great, in bloodstains
(Fucks with me)
In King avriel's song "20's 50's 100's," she talks about the pain and struggles that come with love and the desire for intimacy. The first few lines "Can you lick my wounds please? Can you make it numb? And kill the pain like Cortizone, And grant me intimacy" are about her asking her partner to help her get through the pain that comes with opening up to someone else. She wants her partner to make her feel better about the situation and numb the pain just like Cortizone does. She then asks "How'll we split your chromosomes?" which could be interpreted as her asking how they can come together and create something new.
The chorus "More sweet narcossis, (I'll turn a stone, I'll find you)" is a metaphor for the addictiveness of love. Just like an addict chasing their next high, King avriel is chasing love and is willing to go through the highs and lows to get it. The line "I turn a stone I'll find you there Into reflected light I'll stare" refers to her being so focused on finding love that she'll go anywhere to look for it. She'll look to anything or anyone that reflects the light of the love she's searching for.
In the second verse, King avriel talks about the lows of love as she says "My head's between my knees again, Got a needle set to zero, And you can shoot me hurricanes, Don't spare me the details." She's in so much pain that she's looking for anything to numb it, even if it's not healthy for her. The line "You look great in bloodstains" represents the obsession that comes with love. She's so obsessed with the idea of love that she's willing to overlook the bad things and continue chasing it.
Overall, "20's 50's 100's" is a powerful and emotional song about the pursuit of love and the addiction that comes with it. It's a beautiful commentary on the struggles and highs that come with opening up to another person.

It started with GTA V like everybody else... But for real, this song is low key the chillest song ever. Cruising at night in my city with this song blasting is a pure ecstasy of the senses.
