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.
Will it take my death to see
To see my destiny?
They say I live in a fantasy
I'm just lit off Hennessy, huh
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yuh-uh-uh, yeah, yeah
Pulled up, drop top with speed
Talk down I'll pop the heat
This for the ones that doubted me
Said my momma is proud of me
Sit down, smoke a pound of weed
Sip this liquor and drown with me, yeah
Sip this liquor and drown with me
Baby kneel beneath me and bow to me
Baby kneel beneath me and bow to me
Baby kneel beneath me and bow to me, yeah, yeah
Will it take my death to see
To see my destiny?
They say I live in a fantasy
I'm just lit off Hennessy, huh
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yuh-uh-uh, yeah, yeah
Will it take my death to see
To see my destiny?
They say I live in a fantasy
I'm just lit off Hennessy, huh
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yuh-uh-uh, yeah, yeah
To see my destiny?
They say I live in a fantasy
I'm just lit off Hennessy, huh
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yuh-uh-uh, yeah, yeah
Pulled up, drop top with speed
Talk down I'll pop the heat
This for the ones that doubted me
Said my momma is proud of me
Sit down, smoke a pound of weed
Sip this liquor and drown with me, yeah
Sip this liquor and drown with me
Baby kneel beneath me and bow to me
Baby kneel beneath me and bow to me
Baby kneel beneath me and bow to me, yeah, yeah
Will it take my death to see
To see my destiny?
They say I live in a fantasy
I'm just lit off Hennessy, huh
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yuh-uh-uh, yeah, yeah
Will it take my death to see
To see my destiny?
They say I live in a fantasy
I'm just lit off Hennessy, huh
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yuh-uh-uh, yeah, yeah
