On “falling 4 me”, Peep seems to be fighting his inner demons telling himself and the listener how he doesn’t want to keep doing drugs, but he also doesn’t want to live a healthy, drug-free lifestyle either.
The background vocals are a distorted version of Radiohead’s “Climbing Up the Walls”.
This...
[Chorus]
Hold me, I can't breathe
I don't wanna die, I don't wanna OD
Cup full of lean, pure codeine
Ten lines deep, now I can't see
I don't wanna be this way for good
I don't wanna live the way I should
Born in the 'burbs, but I'm big in the hood
Tell me that I can't, but I know that I could
[Post-Chorus]
I can hear you callin' to me (Yeah)
I can see you're fallin' for me (Yeah, ay, yeah)
[Bridge]
I can hear you callin' to me (Yeah)
I can see you're fallin' for me (Yeah, ayy, yeah)
[Chorus]
Hold me, I can't breathe
I don't wanna die, I don't wanna OD
Cup full of lean, pure codeine
Ten lines deep, now I can't see
I don't wanna be this way for good
I don't wanna live the way I should
Born in the 'burbs, but I'm big in the hood
Tell me that I can't, but I know that I could
