Train Food
XXXTENTACION Lyrics

I remember I had walked home that day
The singer is recalling a particular day when he returned home on foot.

Content with all my misery
Despite the pain and problems in his life, the singer was accepting of them and felt no urgency to change his situation.

Told myself it'd get better, no clue what there was next for me
Although he had hoped for improvement in his life, the singer was uncertain of what the future held.

Remember there was people, walkin', talkin' in the distance
The artist notices other individuals nearby, conversing and moving, but feels disconnected from them.

I was dressed for winter weather
Despite the current summer climate, the artist had dressed for colder conditions.

But the summer rays were kissing me, I
The warmth of the sun was a pleasant surprise for the cold-blooded narrator.

I was lost
The singer was wandering aimlessly, feeling unsure of his direction in life.

And there he was, his presence was alarming
The artist encountered an unknown person who caused him to feel uneasy and threatened.

As he approaches casual, we talk 'bout self-harming
The stranger engaged the artist in conversation about self-destructive behaviors.

He told me "Kid, you shouldn't be walkin' on your own"
The stranger expressed concern for the artist's safety as he walked alone.

He smiled and laughed, and pat my back
The stranger displayed a friendly demeanor, attempting to put the singer at ease.

He said, "How far are you from home?"
The stranger inquired about the artist's location and distance from his residence.

I said, "Maybe thirty minutes"
The singer responded to the stranger's question by estimating that he was about half an hour away from home.

His frequency distorted quick, I seen it in his image
The stranger's behavior abruptly changed, causing the singer to notice a shift in his demeanor or appearance.

I should've run right fucking there, I-
Upon sensing the stranger's sudden shift, the singer realized that he should have fled in that moment.

You ever woke up on a train track
The artist poses a hypothetical scenario in which the individual listening to the song wakes up on a train track.

With no motherfuckin' clothes on?
The individual on the train track is naked and vulnerable.

Death before your eyes, you prayin' to God, but ain't no response
The individual is facing imminent death and praying for help, but feels ignored by a higher power.

Trying to scream for hope, just a shoulder that you can lean on
The individual is seeking comfort and support during their final moments of life.

But ain't nobody coming, so you scream on and scream on and scream on
Despite their cries for help, the individual is left alone to die without any assistance.

While this evil fuck laugh at you
The stranger who caused the individual's demise is laughing at their suffering and impending death.

Train getting closer, you still surprised that he battered you
As the train approaches, the individual is still reeling from the stranger's attack and can't believe what has happened to them.

Tears falling harder and harder, minutes get minuscule
As the individual realizes that they are about to die, their emotions intensify and time seems to move more quickly.

Could've had a son or a daughter, now what you finna do?
The individual reflects on what could have been, mourning the life they will never have and the loved ones they will leave behind.

You finna die here on this train track
The individual accepts their fate and recognizes that they will perish on the train track.

'Cause clearly after death, ain't no way you can find your way back
The individual acknowledges the finality of death and that there is no returning from it.

Thinking 'bout your previous memories, going way back
As they face their final moments, the individual reminisces about memories from their past.

All them fucking dreams 'bout the diamond chain and the Maybach
The individual realizes that their previous desires and aspirations for material possessions are meaningless in the face of death.

Now your time finally up
The individual has run out of time and must accept their fate.

Ask yourself the final question, is you going down or up?
As death approaches, the individual contemplates whether they are bound for heaven or hell.

Recollectin' all the moments that you never gave a fuck
In their final moments, the individual thinks about times when they did not care about others or the consequences of their actions.

Now it's here, death has now arrived, time's finally up
The individual's life has come to an end, as death has arrived and time has run out.
