I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
What the hell is up with that,
When you can't buy your own laundry basket?
Why was I the victim?
You stole my wicker tool
I came inside to check
On my clothing as they're drying
I could've sworn I left it in the apartment laundry room
chorus
But now it's gone
Now its gone my clothing in a bundle
With socks, and pants, and underwear
Falling to the ground
Fuck the guy who took my shit
And stole my laundry basket
If I see you with my basket in the laundry room
I'll kick your ass
Shit on clothes
And take back my fuckin' basket
And then you'll be the victim because
You stole my wicker tool
chorus
But now it's gone
Now its gone my clothing in a bundle
With socks, and pants, and underwear
Falling to the ground
Fuck the guy who took my shit
And stole my laundry basket
If I see you with my basket in the laundry room
I'll kick your ass
Shit on clothes
And take back my fuckin' basket
And then you'll be the victim because
You stole my wicker tool
When you can't buy your own laundry basket?
Why was I the victim?
You stole my wicker tool
I came inside to check
On my clothing as they're drying
I could've sworn I left it in the apartment laundry room
chorus
But now it's gone
Now its gone my clothing in a bundle
With socks, and pants, and underwear
Falling to the ground
Fuck the guy who took my shit
And stole my laundry basket
If I see you with my basket in the laundry room
I'll kick your ass
Shit on clothes
And take back my fuckin' basket
And then you'll be the victim because
You stole my wicker tool
chorus
But now it's gone
Now its gone my clothing in a bundle
With socks, and pants, and underwear
Falling to the ground
Fuck the guy who took my shit
And stole my laundry basket
If I see you with my basket in the laundry room
I'll kick your ass
Shit on clothes
And take back my fuckin' basket
And then you'll be the victim because
You stole my wicker tool
