Race Lyrics
You're walkin' on hot coals now, you fuck
'Cause you're a joke, yeah, you're a hoax and now I found you out
'Cause you think the brains in your head are worth
breathin' this smoke and itchy throats and being happy
And I could be your man all day and you could look inside my brain and see this one thing
But then it disappears like smoke and you're alone
You're starting to look really weird, oh yeah
Your face is out of place and I can't make you out
And I forget just what you said
Yeah, it's not clear it was about fear and getting out of here
but you're okay with me
'Cause you're a joke, yeah, you're a hoax and now I found you out
'Cause you think the brains in your head are worth
breathin' this smoke and itchy throats and being happy
And I could be your man all day and you could look inside my brain and see this one thing
But then it disappears like smoke and you're alone
Your face is out of place and I can't make you out
And I forget just what you said
Yeah, it's not clear it was about fear and getting out of here
but you're okay with me

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.
