“Houdini” is the opening track on nothing, nowhere.’s debut album REAPER.
On the track, the artist talks about his early life, when he was living in his parent’s basement and killing useful time.
[Verse 1]
I swear that I'ma die in this basement
Isolation is the high that I'm chasing
Overdose on lonely nights that were wasted
I can feel the reaper close, I hear him pacing
The days roll by, nothing changes
Sunset, sunrise, losing patience
I'm too far gone, don't try to save me
I hate myself more than any man could ever hate me
[Hook]
Well alright, yeah
Well alright, alright, no, no
Well alright, I'ma fade into the night
Cut you straight out of my life, yeah
Well alright, yeah
Well alright, alright, no, no
Well alright, this is the last time you see me
Call me young Houdini
[Verse 2]
I'm cutting my ties, then I'm closing the blinds
And I'm shutting my eyes, yeah
'Cause life is a lie and I'm sick and I'm tired
Of the planet outside, I
Say that I'm fine, but you know that's a lie
And I mean it this time, yeah
I'm better alone, so don't hit up my phone
And I mean it
Disappear from the pain like I'm Dave Blaine
You don't know my name, you don't know me
'Cause I've been this way, keep it low key
Yeah, you don't know the first thing about me (yeah)
Abracadabra, I fucked up my life
If I did it once, I'll do it twice
Probably better if you stay away
And for my final act I'll fade away
[Hook]
Well alright, yeah
Well alright, alright, no, no
Well alright, I'ma fade into the night
Cut you straight out of my life, yeah
Well alright, yeah
Well alright, alright, no, no
Well alright, this is the last time you see me
Call me young Houdini
[Bridge]
I've been away, don't say my name
Cut it out, cut it out, oh no
And you can try but it's no use
Cut it out, cut it out, ayy
[Hook]
Well alright, yeah
Well alright, alright, no, no
Well alright, I'ma fade into the night
Cut you straight out of my life, yeah
Well alright, yeah
Well alright, alright, no, no
Well alright, this is the last time you see me
Call me young Houdini
