With a diverse mix of musical styles, each track tells a unique chapter of the story, echoing the myriad feelings that arise when a once-promising love story falls apart.
The album's opening track, "Intro,” encapsulates the bottom once-essence of love's promise at the start of the year. As the album progresses, the songs gradually evolve to reflect the disintegration of the individual’s capability to control their emotions. “4Leaf Clover”, “Tell Me”, and “Worthless” convey the emotional turbulence and growing distance between both individuals, one trying to hold on and the other letting go.

As the album moves towards its conclusion, “Tear Me Apart” and “Letter”, he describes the pain he went through and understood that the person he was needed to be gone. As the album wraps up with an amazing and ambient song accompanied with an acoustical guitar instrumental by HukanaBeats, he describes how his life feels and his last surge to win back the one he lost.

4Leaf Clover
In this song, Cully talks about not being able to go home due to demons(drugs, anxiety, depression, hopelessness) taking over his room. He mentions how his anxiety is so bad it feels like a boulder on his chest especially after the breakup and multiple attempts to win his ex’s love back. He also flashbacks to the last night he ever talked to her outside her house where he mentions “ I can’t leave since you said it's over.” This bar shows that he is struggling with attachment problems causing him to lose his composure. He also mentions in the song how she was the star of his life. While eventually leaving her town, he was doing 90 on a highway, while he cried. He also mentioned how the devil was reaching out to him to look for comfort but he won’t leave this world without a fight.
Tell Me
In the song, Tell Me, Cully explains how she reached out to him and he was asking what’s wrong but she wouldn’t tell him. She only kept neglecting him, causing him to reach towards oxycodone. He also explains how he kept calling her phone which caused him to be alone since he had no time for anything else. He explains while on oxycodone, he feels Satan nagging him, trying to get him to fight him knowing Cully would lose due to him being so vulnerable. Later on, Cully explains how he returned back to her town and now he is getting a sense to go back home.
Worthless
Cully starts off by expressing how much he can’t get her out of his head and how the drugs are making him hallucinate that she is present and that they feel like they are putting him in a crawlspace aka coffin. He mentions how being intoxicated he can’t feel his face. He foreshadows Death Race for Love which was by an artist named JuiceWRLD whose hometown is 3 hours away from where Cully originated from. Him mentioning that shows his remembrance for Juice and how he is fighting something similar that took him out. He proceeds to say afterwards “Pour A Four inside the Wraith”.
He mentions how he can’t breath or see due to anxiety and drug use. He then mentions how he needs a bond between Lilo and Stitch as Best Friends which is him and Steezy.
He tells how painkillers help heal the pain and get his ex out of his brain. He mentions afterwards how overdose is the way to go, showing the devil is slowly convincing and tempting him to do worse. He goes on at the end of the song to show more respect towards Juice by revamping Who Shot Cupid and putting his twist on it.
Hello (Skit)
In the skit, you can hear Cully calling 911 due to him believing he has begun the steps to an overdose but loses connection with the 911 operator.
Barely Alive
Cully runs off the skit by saying how he is searching for positivity now after his near death experience but realizes he may not have lost his life physically but he lost his life mentally. He also decides that he is starting to not want anything to do with her whether that’s a something new every week or him hanging with his friends.
Cross My Heart
On the very melodic 2018 style beat, Cully shows a sign of hopelessness again. He is continuing to accept the “Devil’s Love Letter” aka oxycodone and opioid cough syrup.
He senses that he still feels just as lost and lonely as he did when the breakup first happened. No matter what smoke screen he tried, he was reminded of her whether that was a sighting at a party or public event, people talking about her, or her continuously antagonizing him. Through all that pain he is getting so drunk it reminds him of his friend Owen Laufenberg as a resemblance to when he is drunk. But through all every smile is a million tears holding back as he’s suffering from toxins accumulating in his body and the feeling of no one caring makes him want to cross his heart and hope he dies.
Allow Me
In this song, Cully starts how he drinks a lot because he doesn’t know if he will see tomorrow so might as well have a good time every time right? He washed his pain away with a bottle of his personal favorite, Bacardi Limon. He proceeds to tell us to “allow him” to lie to everyone and say he’s fine. He proceeds to mention once again to pour a four of Promethazine Codeine as they ride through a city. He then continues to mention he doesn’t know what to do anymore because he is getting played by toxic females every step he goes that he is afraid of a healthy relationship at this point, hence, why he is solving it with drugs. He proceeds to reference he needs a hug which goes back to a time where he got so drunk he hugged his, now, girlfriend (his ex’s friend haha) for two minutes straight after downing a whole bottle of bacardi. The second verse comes around… He is heard saying he wants everyone to be fine if he overdoses and that if he checks out everyone will be fine just think about him in the meantime which is both heartfelt and a remembrance to Juice as he also once sings those words just shows Cully wants to go out the same way.
Drugs Killing Me

He has mentioned previously he remembers him taking and using medication in a higher dose when he was younger then he was caught by his mother and yelled at as she told him that’s how people overdose.
