The final track on Prince Midas, Antyesti gets its name from the Hindu rite of passage associated with a person’s death. The song has themes of depression and drug addiction associated with the loneliness that comes with lack of social acceptance.
[Verse 1]
Ain't it crazy how they hate you
Then they love you then they hate you?
Then they take til you take ill
Take pills and stay chill
Say it ain't real
While I got faith still
I done seen first-hand just how the hate kills
And how the rain feels
On a sunny day when you would pray for it
Still hear your voice through the distortion
Lone insomniac fighting evil forces
Tried to penetrate the fortress
Quickly morph you into corpses
Entertain the devil's courtship
Caution
I loved once and quickly lost myself in cost of
Everything
Anything I wanted was in reach but I just forfeit
Fucking lost it
[Chorus]
For once I feel free
Like a dead body body floating downstream
Will this river take me to the sea
Or will it grab hold of my body and rip apart my skin?
For once I feel free
Like a dead body body floating downstream
Will this river take me to the sea
Or will it grab hold of my body and rip apart my skin?
[Verse 2]
Stuck in flux
Fuck it's what I'm in
Just a construct of sins
Projected on environments I'm in
Mixing gin in bad proportions
Had a conscience, kinda sorta
But now it's way past 10
And all these bottles settled in
Tell a friend to tell a friend
Imma need some help on getting in
Cuz my legs don't work when I'm this hurt
Don't tell my girl, it's embarrassing
In my mind just a fragile kid
Could drink and smoke til my lungs go broke
And none of y'all would give a shit
Don't give 2 shits about me
So Imma keep it pretty like 2 chicks around me
Of the red-boned variety
As the poison drip from they acrylic tips
Knee deep in pussy, I'm surrounded
Astounded I ain't aroused yet
For once I feel free
[Chorus]
Free up
Free up
Love yourself
Fuck people
Free up
