Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
They wanna talk insomnia
Flashing lights
I promise they'll be scared of ya
Hopeless sights
The cause of mass hysteria
Conquer heights
Not only in your area
They wanna talk insomnia
Flashing lights
I promise they'll be scared of ya
Hopeless sights
The cause of mass hysteria
Conquer heights
Not only in your area
Talk about your grind
I swear I'm listening
These motherfuckers blind
But still I'm glistening
Finess this shit for real
I know I'm here to shine
Envisioning my time
Don't step out til after 9
These robots wanna talk
Repeating what they heard
Release your own mind
Your vision might be blurred
You're saying like you know
But no one has a clue
My brain forever racing
Don't tell me what to do
I'm walking in rain I look around I cannot stand a person
I step alone never need no one my mental state will worsen
They say I can't spit well bitch I prove it might just be a burden
I'm in your head rent free not even trying that's for certain
Sleepless nights
They wanna talk insomnia
Flashing lights
I promise they'll be scared of ya
Hopeless sights
The cause of mass hysteria
Conquer heights
Not only in your area
Sleepless nights
They wanna talk insomnia
Flashing lights
I promise they'll be scared of ya
Hopeless sights
The cause of mass hysteria
Conquer heights
Not only in your area
Dipping out of sanity
And now they think it's clear to see
They know I don't have enemies
And no you're not a friend to me
Mentally declining
But I still be shining
Motherfuckers whining
Waiting for my signing
This don't make sense
Keep switching flows they call me a river
Peep the suspense
My soul went cold now they feeling the shiver
Walk down the street
I pace back and forth they think I'm crazy
Rinse and repeat
Forever mistreated now it don't phase me
Stepping out in the night I hate these people bitch get out my way
Out of sight forever just don't talk to me I'll fly away
Mind is unpredictable my recovery is on delay
Losing myself years ago I guess tommorow ain't today
Sleepless nights
They wanna talk insomnia
Flashing lights
I promise they'll be scared of ya
Hopeless sights
The cause of mass hysteria
Conquer heights
Not only in your area
Sleepless nights
They wanna talk insomnia
Flashing lights
I promise they'll be scared of ya
Hopeless sights
The cause of mass hysteria
Conquer heights
Not only in your area

My mind is constantly active and filled with thoughts

As I walk in the rain, I observe my surroundings and feel a strong dislike towards others
I step alone never need no one my mental state will worsen

Dipping out of sanity
Gradually losing touch with rationality and reason
And now they think it's clear to see
Others now believe that my mental instability is evident
They know I don't have enemies
Others are aware that I do not hold grudges or harbor ill will towards anyone
And no you're not a friend to me
Despite that, you are not considered a true friend to me
Mentally declining
Experiencing a deterioration of mental state
But I still be shining
Nevertheless, I continue to radiate and excel
Motherfuckers whining
Others complaining and expressing discontent
Waiting for my signing
Anticipating my success or official recognition
This don't make sense
These circumstances or actions are irrational or illogical
Keep switching flows they call me a river
Continuously changing my style and delivery, earning me the comparison to a flowing river
Peep the suspense
Notice the tension and anticipation
My soul went cold now they feeling the shiver
As I become emotionally detached, others begin to feel a sense of foreboding or unease
Walk down the street
Go for a stroll in the neighborhood
I pace back and forth they think I'm crazy
As I repeatedly walk in a restless manner, others perceive me as mentally unstable
Rinse and repeat
Continuously engaging in the same actions or routine
Forever mistreated now it don't phase me
Being mistreated for an extended period of time no longer affects or bothers me
Stepping out in the night I hate these people bitch get out my way
Venturing out at night, I am filled with resentment towards others and demand that they move aside
Out of sight forever just don't talk to me I'll fly away
Disappear from my sight and never engage in conversation with me, as I will distance myself and move on
Mind is unpredictable my recovery is on delay
My thoughts and mental state are difficult to predict, causing a delay in my healing or improvement
Losing myself years ago I guess tomorrow ain't today
I lost my sense of self a long time ago, implying that the future remains uncertain and distant
