“Space” which is the first single off D-Rae’s album “Echoes & Bandaids” is a slow, yet emotion packed 3-minute song where D-Rae expresses how he has been going through a lot, at a specific time, contemplating self harm, giving up and even running away from everything life’s throwing at him.
[Chorus]
Okay jang0
Yeah it’s a dark dark place
And yeah I hide my face
The echoes and the 808s
Make me feel like I’m in space
[Verse]
(Whoa)
Devil on my left makes me feel like I’m right
He says that “giving up with open wrists is alright”
(Yeah)
Angel on my right convinces me ‘bout what’s left
He says “the brighter things are hidden in what comes next”
Said I’d run
But I’m still here
(But I’m still here)
I put my warm coat on
But it’s still here
(But it’s still here)
Cause it’s a cold cold world
And I write sad songs
Yeah I know that’s wrong
But I know I’m not wrong
No tears to cry or mourn
Cause I know it’s not done
I got my jet pack on
Wish I can zip, boom, gone
And-
[Chorus]
It’s a dark dark place
(It's a dark dark place, it's a dark place)
And yeah I hide my face
The echoes and the 808s
(The echoes and the 808s, the 808s)
Make me feel like I’m in space
(I'm in space)
[Outro]
Yeah it’s a dark dark world
And we’re all here
Have to fight it all
Gotta face fears
Face fears
(It's a cold cold world)
(It's a cold cold world)
