Hyperpop is a subgenre noted for its upbeat and glitchy twist on pop and trap music. Similar to abusing pills or alcohol, he uses “bong” as a way to escape his guilt and pain, even if the effect is only temporary.
Smoking weed is a way ElyOtto uses to cope with pain. This is very much similar to J Cole “The Cut Off” ft kiLL edward. So he decides forget about all the failure onto the “bong” or as know as a tool to smoke marijuana. He is depressed so he feels like “Everythin' I do is wrong”. “Neon lights surrounding me” is likely a reference to the way capitalism and hyper commercialization has led to advertisement hodgepodges like Times Square, which has become an ubiquitous symbol for consumerism and American capitalism in general. The subject has two options to choose from, and despite the sensibility of the first, the pain is enough to make them want to consider permanently destroying their own ability to think- the choice between the two shows their internal turmoil between reason and insanity.ĮlyOtto refers to a lifestyle where one is obsessed by the consumption of luxury items, possibly designer clothes or expensive cars. Both actions are ways for the subject to soothe their mental distress, the first one tame (just taking a bath), and the second is violent (a lobotomy is probably what’s referenced, where the frontal lobe of the brain is severed, once commonly used to treat mental disorders, causing a sedated effect on patients). These two statements are placed next to each other for juxtaposition. In other words, Ely is trying to rid himself of his stresses in his life by getting high. However, this is more likely a way of describing the feeling of burning out after doing drugs, which ElyOtto mentions later in the lyric, “‘cept for when I hit the bong"-referring to smoking marijuana.
