Myself (feat. Bizerk)

Ruben Slikk's song "Myself (feat. Bizerk)" delves into themes of loneliness, materialism, and hedonism. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a lifestyle centered around fleeting pleasures and the pursuit of wealth. Ruben Slikk expresses a desire to avoid being alone, seeking solace in physical relationships and material possessions. The repeated plea, "Shawty no please don't leave me by myself," underscores a deep-seated fear of isolation, despite the superficial bravado displayed through his actions and words.

The song's verses are filled with references to drug use, sexual encounters, and the accumulation of wealth. Lines like "Ice wrist, ice chain, ice necklace" and "Too much guap, I can't count all this shit by myself" highlight the importance placed on material success and the external validation it brings. However, this pursuit is juxtaposed with a sense of emptiness and the need for constant distraction, as seen in the repeated use of substances like codeine and the transient nature of his relationships.

Bizerk's verse adds another layer to the narrative, emphasizing the camaraderie and shared experiences within their social circle. Despite the apparent success and confidence, there is an underlying acknowledgment of the isolating nature of their lifestyle. The line "Boy, fuck everybody else - girl I'm too high please don't leave me by myself" encapsulates the paradox of seeking connection while simultaneously pushing others away. Ultimately, the song reflects the complexities of modern hedonism, where the pursuit of pleasure and wealth often masks deeper insecurities and a longing for genuine connection.
