Flatline

In 'Flatline,' Two Feet delves into the dark and consuming nature of dependency, whether it be on a person, substance, or even an emotion. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of someone who feels utterly reliant on another to the point of losing their own sense of self. The opening lines, 'Everything that I do is for you and I / Wanna live but I need you just to survive,' set the tone for a narrative of desperation and need. This dependency is so intense that it feels like an itch or burn, a physical manifestation of craving and longing.

The song also touches on the transformation of relationships and the impact they have on one's mental state. The lines 'One time, you were just a fake friend / Now I, think about ya all the time' suggest a shift from a superficial connection to an all-consuming obsession. The mention of 'white eyes' and 'you kill all of my friends' could be interpreted as the destructive influence this dependency has on the person's social circle and overall well-being. The imagery of 'flatlining' and 'dissolving in quicklime' further emphasizes the sense of impending doom and the feeling of being trapped in a toxic cycle.

Musically, Two Feet is known for blending bluesy guitar riffs with electronic beats, creating a haunting and immersive soundscape that complements the song's themes. The repetitive nature of the lyrics and the hypnotic rhythm mirror the cyclical and inescapable nature of the dependency described. The song's climax, with the repeated assurance 'They tell me I'ma be fine / 'Cause the air still in my lungs,' offers a glimmer of hope, but it is overshadowed by the overwhelming sense of despair and helplessness.
