“tsukuyomi” is symbolic of the dream-state Itachi Uchiha would put his victims in. This intro is the “entrance” to the world of nostalgia that sbstn has created and reflects upon the beginning of his misgivings towards the past.
The clip at the beginning is also sampled from a scene in Naruto: Ship...
[Verse 1]
Everything was perfect
Everything felt fine
I thought it was worth it
I was thinking its alright
Deep down now I'm hurting
Damn I lost that time (Damn I waste my time)
[Verse 2]
Reminiscing bout the time
It just felt like me and you
I just put my doubts aside
It was like the seasons flew
You'd ask me to slide
I was stuck to you like glue
Man what a fool
[Verse 3]
There were flowers all around me
Now they ease the pain
Feeling like I'm Spider-Man
Where's my Mary Jane?
Rolled up in the Element
So my thoughts is tamed
Just tryna get higher man
I feel like I'm insane
[Verse 4]
Then I realized it was never real
And I'm feeling feelings that I thought I'd never feel
And I'm treating wounds that'll prolly never heal
With some weed that's more sour than a lemon peel
Speaking words that you'll prolly never ever hear
Won't forget that time, man that shit's forever sealed
I'll just stay alone, I think that's a better deal
(I think that's a better deal)
