Another Cup (feat. Lil Peep)

In 'Another Cup (feat. Lil Peep),' Drippin So Pretty and Lil Peep delve into the dark and tumultuous world of addiction, fame, and the constant presence of death. The recurring motif of the 'angel of death' watching over the narrator's back serves as a haunting reminder of the ever-present danger that looms over their lifestyle. This figure symbolizes the constant threat of mortality, exacerbated by their reckless behavior and substance abuse. The lyrics suggest a sense of invincibility, with lines like 'I outlive heart attacks,' yet this bravado is undercut by the acknowledgment of the angel's presence, indicating an awareness of their vulnerability.

The song also explores themes of love and mistrust. The narrator expresses skepticism about the authenticity of the affection they receive, suspecting that their partner is more interested in their wealth ('she in love with my racks') than in them as a person. This distrust is further complicated by the narrator's own admission of using drugs and temporary lust to fill the void of loneliness. The line 'But a rush ain't love, it's temporary lust' poignantly captures the fleeting nature of their relationships and the emptiness that follows.

Lil Peep's verse adds another layer to the narrative, highlighting the superficiality and transient nature of their interactions. The imagery of popping caps and tags, and the fleeting joy of material possessions, underscores the hollowness of their existence. The repeated cycle of drug use and the temporary escape it provides ('I think I'ma go to sleep, wake up and repeat') paints a bleak picture of a life trapped in a destructive loop. The song ultimately portrays a struggle between the desire for connection and the numbing allure of substances, set against the backdrop of an ever-looming death.
