(Sandy) Alex G – Race Lyrics 1 year ago
I think the song is about getting high as a form of escape.

> You're walkin' on hot coals now, you fuck

Obviously, doing drugs is pretty risky

> 'Cause you think the brains in your head are worth
breathin' this smoke and itchy throats and being happy

Sounds like the person Alex is singing about/toward wants to feel happy, and doesn't care about the effects of the drug.

> You're starting to look really weird, oh yeah
> Your face is out of place and I can't make you out

A side effect of many drugs is depersonalisation, which I think verse two is about.
