The speaker wakes to a text they don’t want to read, describing a repeating pattern: “same story, different person,” with “wounds that never bleed.” They present themselves as a king on the surface while feeling like a kid inside, still fighting the “ghost of every trauma” they hid.
They reference using Xan(y) for panic and whiskey for silence, putting headphones on “max” to drown out violence. They say the conflict isn’t “from the streets” but “the war in my skull,” with no relief. They describe the doctor giving pills, and the therapist urging them to talk, but the speaker saying they’ve “lost all control,” adding that the only thing that works is “the bass and the beat,” cranking volume until the heart “can’t compete” with the voice telling them they’re done, nothing, and that they’ve lost. They insist the music “fights back” and is the only thing that makes them feel proud.
They say others don’t see the war when they look into their eyes; they see a man fighting to survive. The speaker keeps feelings, demons, and screams “locked down” rather than talking about them, claiming each pill pauses panic and each sip creates silence where screaming can hide. They state they are not asking for help or begging for peace, instead turning up the volume to reduce “hurting.”
They continue clamping headphones to their skull, drowning out static while trying not to feel the pull of the past, the pain, and the ghost in their head, “still fighting, still breathing, still not dead.” The lyrics repeat and intensify with the same themes of avoidance, self-control through volume, and survival through music.
