Running out of time (R.O.O.T) (feat. Lil Peep)

In 'Running out of time (R.O.O.T)', P2THEGOLDMA$K and Lil Peep explore the relentless passage of time and the emotional turmoil that accompanies it. The song opens with P2THEGOLDMA$K's repetitive lines about thoughts running through his mind and the feeling of running toward the light, symbolizing a search for meaning or salvation. The recurring theme of 'running out of time' underscores a sense of urgency and existential dread, reflecting the pressure to find purpose before it's too late.

The chorus, 'Cause we live and we love and they lie but we trust,' highlights the dichotomy between the purity of human emotions and the deceit that often taints them. This line suggests a struggle to maintain faith and trust in a world filled with falsehoods. The repetition of these lines emphasizes the cyclical nature of these experiences, as if the artist is trapped in a loop of hope and betrayal.

Lil Peep's verse adds another layer to the song, delving into personal relationships and the pursuit of happiness through external means. His lines, 'Trying to get you high off something that only I supply,' and 'I'm never sober, it's fine 'cause I like it that way,' reveal a reliance on substances to cope with emotional pain. This verse paints a picture of a young artist grappling with fame, love, and the constant pressure to shine, all while feeling isolated and misunderstood. The imagery of 'one step closer, feeling like I was chosen' juxtaposed with 'my blood always frozen' captures the paradox of feeling destined for greatness yet emotionally numb.

The song's repetitive structure and haunting lyrics create a sense of urgency and introspection, inviting listeners to reflect on their own struggles with time, trust, and the search for meaning in a chaotic world.
