Rehab

In 'Rehab,' d4vd delves into the chaotic and destructive world of addiction and toxic relationships. The song opens with vivid imagery of a party scene fueled by cocaine and liquor, setting the stage for a narrative filled with regret and self-destruction. The protagonist finds himself in a perpetual cycle of bad decisions, symbolized by the recurring party that 'never ends.' This setting serves as a metaphor for the endless loop of addiction and the futile attempts to escape it.

The lyrics also explore the complexities of a toxic relationship. The protagonist is entangled with a partner who has 'fallen in love with the devil again,' suggesting a repeated pattern of harmful behavior and poor choices. The line 'I gotta get her out of here' indicates a desire to save his partner from self-destruction, yet he acknowledges that he no longer feels the same way about her. This internal conflict is further highlighted by the realization that she 'thinks she’s too good for me now,' adding a layer of emotional turmoil and rejection.

As the song progresses, the protagonist grapples with his own mental state, hearing 'gunshots inside of my clouded thoughts.' This line poignantly captures the mental anguish and confusion that often accompany addiction and toxic relationships. The repeated refrain 'I see it now' signifies a moment of clarity, where the protagonist recognizes the need to separate from his partner and the destructive lifestyle they share. The closing lines, 'I will not chase you on your way to hell,' underscore a final resolution to break free from the toxic cycle, even if it means leaving someone behind.
