Timberlake

BONES' song 'Timberlake' is a raw and unfiltered dive into the rapper's world, characterized by a mix of bravado, hedonism, and a touch of nihilism. The title itself, 'Timberlake,' is a nod to pop icon Justin Timberlake, but the lyrics quickly diverge into a much darker and grittier narrative. BONES uses the metaphor of 'Timberlake with the case, say bye bye bye' to signify a ruthless and unapologetic attitude, reminiscent of Timberlake's famous song 'Bye Bye Bye' with *NSYNC, but with a more sinister twist.

The lyrics are filled with vivid imagery and metaphors that paint a picture of a life steeped in excess and danger. Lines like 'Anytime I get low, I get high high high' and 'Poison in my lungs, dopin' 'til I'm done' reflect a lifestyle of substance abuse and escapism. BONES' reference to 'O5 on my side, coming drop drop drop' and 'Put your hands in the sky, or you'll die die die' adds an element of threat and violence, suggesting a world where survival often depends on being the toughest and most ruthless.

BONES also touches on themes of wealth and materialism, juxtaposed with the darker aspects of his life. The imagery of 'All my ice hittin', I feel like a Frigidaire' and 'Tony Montana with the gold silverware' evokes a sense of opulence, but it's clear that this wealth comes with its own set of dangers and moral compromises. The repeated line 'All these quarters in my lungs, I feel like a piggy bank' serves as a powerful metaphor for the toll that this lifestyle takes on his health and well-being. Ultimately, 'Timberlake' is a stark portrayal of the highs and lows of a life lived on the edge, where moments of triumph are often shadowed by underlying darkness and peril.
