Equal Dirt

Rylo Rodriguez's song 'Equal Dirt' delves into the complexities of love, betrayal, and personal growth. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a tumultuous relationship marked by infidelity, emotional highs and lows, and the struggle to move forward. The song opens with Rylo reflecting on a period of his life where he was at his lowest, dealing with substance abuse and the aftermath of a breakup. The raw honesty in lines like 'I wasn't ready for no kid then, happy that you got abortion' reveals the depth of his emotional turmoil and the difficult decisions he faced.

The song continues to explore themes of betrayal and reconciliation. Rylo describes the painful irony of interacting with the same people who were involved in the infidelity, highlighting the complicated web of relationships and emotions. The line 'I'm dappin' up the same nigga you was creepin' on me with' underscores the sense of betrayal and the difficulty of moving past it. Despite these challenges, there is a sense of longing and nostalgia as Rylo reminisces about the past, looking at old messages and reflecting on what once was.

Throughout the song, Rylo grapples with the idea of right and wrong in the context of love. The recurring refrain 'If lovin' you is wrong, I don't wanna be right' encapsulates the central conflict of the song. Rylo is willing to embrace a flawed, 'wrong doing life' if it means being with the person he loves. This sentiment is further complicated by the fear of financial instability and the potential loss of his partner if he 'go back broke today.' The song ultimately portrays a raw and unfiltered look at the complexities of love, loyalty, and personal growth, making it a poignant and relatable piece for many listeners.
