What it's about
Scrim's verse paints a picture of his addictive tendencies and manic depressive side, jumping between sex, relapsing into opioids and his sadness, even though his money and possessions cannot make him truly happy. Ruby's verse focuses on feeling like a wreck as he gets older and being unable to look after himself, warning that others should stay away because he will drag them down.
