Ded Teds
R.K.L. Lyrics

We've come to write on your walls,
We have invaded your personal space and defaced your property without your consent.

And eat your food.
We have also consumed your resources without your permission, leaving you with less or none.

Gonna drop a bit of acid,
We plan on consuming LSD, a psychedelic drug, for recreational purposes.

Divvy up a sheet or two.
We will share a large quantity of LSD among ourselves, probably to save money or strengthen our bond.

We're the creatures of the nightime.
We identify with the subculture of people who indulge in drugs, vandalism, and other illegal activities during the night.

Pupils burning inside my head.
The effect of the drug on my pupils makes them look bigger, dilated, and brighter, which can be seen as a sign of intoxication or excitement.

No matter where I start off,
Regardless of my initial plans or intentions, I usually end up somewhere unpleasant or dangerous due to my recklessness or lack of foresight.

I finish at Ded Teds.
My final destination, or the place where I feel at home, is a dilapidated house called Ded Teds where I can indulge in my vices without fear of judgement or punishment.

Ded Teds.
The name of the house and the chorus of the song, serving as a sort of mantra or hymn that reinforces the sense of belonging and identity of the group.

It's been 3 years of dwelling,
We have lived in and around Ded Teds for three years, becoming more and more accustomed and attached to its lifestyle and inhabitants.

I'm starting to mold.
I am becoming stagnant, unproductive, and unhealthy due to my lack of motivation or ambition, which is probably fueled by my addiction and apathy.

All my friends just sit around,
My peers and acquaintances who live with me or visit Ded Teds have nothing better to do than to drink alcohol and engage in aimless or petty discussions or arguments.

Drink beer, It's getting old.
The consumption of beer, which used to be seen as fun or liberating, is losing its appeal or novelty, leaving us with a sense of boredom or emptiness.

In that house, That house of Ted.
Referring again to Ded Teds, emphasizing its significance and dominance over our lives and identities.

Where you're better off dead.
Paradoxically suggesting that the only way to find peace or happiness in Ded Teds is to die or to embrace death as a solution to our problems, which shows the bleak and nihilistic worldview of the songwriters.

Sittin' by the window,
Recounting a scene where the artist is passively observing the surroundings and the people around him, rather than actively participating or engaging with them.

Watchin' all the walls breathe.
Experiencing visual hallucinations, probably induced by the LSD, where stationary or flat objects seem to be moving or pulsating as if they were alive or animated.

People in the bathroom,
Alluding to drug users who go to the bathroom to snort or inject drugs, implying that Ded Teds is a hub of drug activity and addiction.

Rollin' up their sleeves.
Preparing themselves or others for a drug injection, which is a risky and dangerous practice, especially when done in unsanitary or unregulated conditions.

Crews in the backyard,
Referring to groups of people who are smoking marijuana or engaging in other illicit activities in the outdoor area near Ded Teds, which suggests a lack of privacy or discretion.

Rollin' up a big spliff.
Prepping a big joint, or marijuana cigarette, to smoke and share with others, which is a common pastime among drug users.

Cops in the front yard,
Attracting the attention of law enforcement officers who are investigating or responding to a disturbance or a crime near or within Ded Teds, which poses a threat to the safety and security of the inhabitants.

Stirrin' up useless beef.
Provoking or escalating an argument or a conflict with the police, which is unlikely to accomplish anything positive, but rather result in a arrest or a fight.

It's past 2 o'clock now.
Acknowledging the late hour and the fact that most people, except for those who indulge in an irresponsible or nocturnal lifestyle, would be asleep or getting ready for bed.

Can't buy no brew.
Lamenting the fact that the singer is out of alcohol or money to buy alcohol, which is seen as a necessity or a symbol of their freedom and independence in Ded Teds.

Passed out on the couch,
Being unconscious or asleep on a couch, which is a common image associated with drunkenness or debauchery, and implies a lack of control or responsibility over one's actions.

Feeling button approach you!
Experiencing a tactile or sensory illusion, where an inanimate object, like a cushion or a wall, seems to be moving or pulsing because of the effects of the LSD.
