You Might Think He Loves You For Your Money, But I Know What He Really Loves You For It's Your Brand New Leopard Skin Pillbox Hat

Death Grips' song, 'You Might Think He Loves You For Your Money, But I Know What He Really Loves You For It's Your Brand New Leopard Skin Pillbox Hat,' is a visceral exploration of chaos, identity, and existential dread. The lyrics are a whirlwind of dark imagery and intense emotions, reflecting the band's signature abrasive and experimental style. The song's title, a nod to Bob Dylan's 'Leopard-Skin Pill-Box Hat,' sets the stage for a journey into a fractured psyche, where the superficial and the profound collide violently.

The opening lines, 'Get so fuckin dark in here / Come, come fuck apart in here,' immediately plunge the listener into a world of darkness and disintegration. This descent into chaos is both physical and psychological, as the repeated phrase 'I die in the process / You die in the process' suggests a mutual destruction or transformation. The imagery of 'kettle drum roll hard shit' and 'fuck I said fucker dont start shit' adds to the sense of relentless, pounding intensity that characterizes the song.

As the song progresses, the lyrics delve deeper into themes of identity and possession. Lines like 'I hover above you / Life pulled out your mouth / I become you' evoke a sense of invasive transformation, where boundaries between self and other blur. The mention of 'unlawful possession' and 'hollow shell twitch disconnection' further emphasizes the loss of control and the disintegration of the self. The song's chaotic energy is encapsulated in the repeated refrain 'Come, come fuck apart in here,' a call to embrace the inevitable collapse.

The final verses introduce a sense of foreboding and inevitability. 'I'm not you / Fear / You wear it well / Mademoiselle' suggests a recognition of fear and destiny, while 'Heres to your destiny / Hysterics scream help' paints a picture of impending doom. The line 'Dont worry in a few youll all be somewhere else / Prepare yourselves' hints at a transformative, albeit destructive, journey. The song's relentless energy and dark themes make it a powerful exploration of the human condition, identity, and the chaos that lies beneath the surface.
