Keeping Tabs (feat. Suscat0)

Cuco's song 'Keeping Tabs' featuring Suscat0 is a psychedelic journey through the artist's emotional state and his coping mechanisms. The lyrics repeatedly mention 'tripping off the tabs in my room,' which suggests the use of LSD or other hallucinogens as a form of escape from feelings of sadness, indicated by the phrase 'I'm feeling blue.' The use of 'tabs' and 'shrooms' (psychedelic mushrooms) points to a desire to alter his reality, perhaps to deal with unresolved issues or to find some peace of mind.

The song's chorus reflects a sense of isolation and disconnection, with the artist telling someone not to contact him because he doesn't recognize them anymore. This could be interpreted as a metaphor for how the substances have created a barrier between him and the outside world, or it could be a literal expression of his desire for solitude while he's in this altered state. The line 'I've been getting high like every single day' underscores the habitual nature of his drug use, suggesting a deeper struggle with his mental state.

The verses also touch on themes of existential searching and the difficulty of finding answers. Cuco mentions that he's not satisfied with the answers to his questions, indicating a search for meaning or understanding that he's unable to fulfill. The imagery of 'smoking broken windows' and 'playing my Nintendo' juxtaposes the destructive behavior with a childlike retreat into video games, hinting at a desire to regress or disconnect from the complexities of adult life. The mention of an 'extendo,' which is slang for an extended magazine for a firearm, adds an element of aggression or defense, possibly symbolizing his readiness to protect his current state of mind or his need for self-defense in a metaphorical sense.
