I've finally sat down to analyze calamity. imo the song transmits feelings of apathy, anguish, sadness, and conformity. These particular verses worried me: "I feel depleted from feelings I've been revealin'/It's do or die,â
I'mâ
not goin' willing/ Butâ
when it's time, wrap in whiteâ
linen" "Whatever the calamity, I did this for myself" can we discuss this? Twitter is not doing it for me because many people skip the song and others relate it to ships.
Yeah Iâve been thinking about it a lot. What you call apathy I might call acceptance, but I think he points toward his past in the opening lineâwhether recent or not, the speaker is feeling nostalgia for a past that perhaps was easier or involved fewer difficult decisions. I find the line âso two weeks is now four dozenâ interesting, how time passes and then things that might have been are out of reach. Here are the lyrics if anyone would like to discuss.
Nostalgia, what a funny feelin'
I feel depleted from feelings I've been revealin'
It's do or die,â
I'mâ
not goin' willing
Butâ
when it's time, wrap in whiteâ
linen
I rap this, I say it for my sanity
Whatever the calamity, I did this for myself
Fuck all of your fantasies
You're a snake, fell off the ladder
I prefer speakin' in analogies
I've had enough of all this wet
And I can't trust that you're my family
The brain dead that I never miss
My brain lives with the cannabis
Can I resist the dark abyss?
Leave a mark on this with no start, just exist
My mind's in a prism shape
And in timĐľs like a prison state
TherĐľ's no right that I feel of late
There's no light if my view's at stake
And which life should I choose to take?
What's left, is it room or space?
There are rumors we have to face
I prefer sooner than after late
I seen actors after BAFTA's be more straight
I hear 'em sing, it's the same carol
They're tryna sprint in a long run, Mo Farah
They're tryna fix when it's long gone, don't bother
There's no other, the thought shudders through most lovers
I wanna bed you, but still sleep is death's cousin
So two weeks is now four dozen
Years that pass by, can't press no rewind
Just watch my life by and lock the right ties
