Xanarchy

Lil Xan's song 'Xanarchy' is a raw and unfiltered glimpse into the chaotic and often contradictory world of the artist. The title itself is a portmanteau of 'Xanax,' a prescription drug often associated with anxiety relief, and 'anarchy,' suggesting a state of disorder and rebellion. This duality is reflected throughout the lyrics, where Lil Xan oscillates between themes of hedonism, nihilism, and self-destruction.

The lyrics are filled with references to drug use, particularly Xanax and lean (a mixture of codeine and soda), which are emblematic of the 'SoundCloud rap' culture that Lil Xan is a part of. Lines like 'Movin' xan n' dope' and 'Cream soda pour my lean' highlight the prevalence of substance abuse in his lifestyle. This is further emphasized by the repetitive and almost hypnotic nature of the lyrics, mirroring the numbing effects of these substances.

Beyond the drug references, 'Xanarchy' delves into themes of materialism and fleeting relationships. Lil Xan boasts about his wealth and possessions, from 'diamonds wind up finding nemo' to 'drop-top lexus,' painting a picture of a life filled with luxury but devoid of deeper meaning. The mention of 'no strings attach' and 'big booty big bitch' underscores a sense of detachment and superficiality in his interactions, whether they be romantic or social.

The song also touches on darker themes, such as suicidal thoughts, with the line 'I wan' kill myself, bih'' serving as a stark reminder of the mental health struggles that often accompany fame and substance abuse. This raw admission adds a layer of vulnerability to an otherwise braggadocious track, making 'Xanarchy' a complex and multifaceted piece that captures the tumultuous reality of Lil Xan's life.
