Keep It Tucked

ThxSoMch's song 'Keep It Tucked' delves into the complexities of internal struggles and the facade people often maintain to cope with their anxieties and emotional turmoil. The recurring line, 'This drum gon' beat but not for long,' suggests a sense of impending doom or a temporary state of being, reflecting the artist's awareness of the fleeting nature of life and stability. The metaphor of 'keeping it tucked' implies hiding one's true feelings or intentions, a common defense mechanism against vulnerability and judgment.

The lyrics also touch on themes of disillusionment and emotional detachment. Lines like 'I held my breath, you held your tongue' and 'Fuck a sentimental bitch' reveal a sense of betrayal and frustration in relationships. The artist expresses a lack of genuine emotional connection, further emphasized by the line 'You gave me cheques, I gave you none,' indicating a transactional nature in personal interactions. This detachment is a coping strategy, a way to shield oneself from deeper emotional pain.

Moreover, the song addresses the artist's struggles with mental health and substance abuse. References to anxiety, psychiatry, and the possibility of overdosing ('So if I OD while I fuck you, that was my assignment') highlight a chaotic inner world. The repeated notion of not caring about actions when not sober ('And if I'm never sober give a fuck 'bout what I do?') underscores a sense of nihilism and self-destructive tendencies. ThxSoMch uses raw and explicit language to convey the intensity of these feelings, making 'Keep It Tucked' a poignant exploration of hidden struggles and the masks people wear to navigate their inner demons.
