Trash
Show Me the Body Lyrics

The lyrics of Show Me the Body's song "Trash" seem to describe the experiences related to drug abuse and the feelings that come with it. "Time is of the essence mothafucka," signifies the urgency of the situation and the need to act fast. The singer of the song goes through phases of using drugs, seeking love, showing affection, getting rough and getting up when knocked down. At times he trusts none, feels done or abhorred, and takes whatever (good Lord) he or she needs to feel better. There is a clear push and pull between the singer's need for drugs and their need to heal. The singer seems to be struggling with different things, and at times he or she feels lost and unsure about what they really need. The song's final lines, "Don't know what I need, You keep telling me, Hundred ways to make me feel, Only one way to make me heal" sums up the difficulty of the singer's journey to healing.

The song is very metaphorical in that sense, where all the actions described are a reflection of deeper emotions and struggles that the singer is going through. The chorus "Come up catch slip back, Coma shaft open gas" is a reference to the feeling of being high and then falling back down to the lows of reality. Similarly, "One bottle when I need two, I hit when I need to, Cut wrist when I need, I lick when I need to" refers to the self-medication that the singer utilizes to numb their pain.

Overall, "Trash" is a powerful and poignant song that explores a set of struggles that many individuals face when it comes to drug abuse and addiction. The song's raw energy and the artist's unique style communicate the intense emotions that come with addiction and the challenging journey to healing and recovery.
