1000 Blunts

The song '1000 Blunts' by $uicideBoy$ delves into the darker aspects of fame, substance abuse, and mental health struggles. The lyrics paint a picture of a lifestyle filled with excess and escapism, where drugs and the trappings of success fail to bring true happiness. The opening lines set the tone with a nonchalant attitude towards drug use and a disregard for the well-being of others, as the protagonist is 'tripping' and 'ash it on my bitches.' The mention of 'pistol gripping' and staying in the hood suggests a connection to a life of crime and violence, despite the outward success.

The chorus, delivered by Ruby da Cherry, reflects on the hollowness of fame and the personal cost it entails. Despite the private jets and the ability to support his family, which he feels should earn him a Grammy, the artist finds himself in rehab instead of a casket, indicating a brush with death due to his lifestyle. The padded rooms and straight jacket become a metaphor for the constraints of his mental health issues, which fame has exacerbated rather than alleviated.

The second verse, by $crim, continues the theme of internal conflict and the superficiality of fame. He describes himself as 'a pro at self-doubt' and expresses disillusionment with the fake relationships and envy that come with celebrity status. The haunting refrain at the end of the song, 'Haunted, haunted, I can't escape my mind,' encapsulates the ongoing battle with his own thoughts and the desire for a respite from his tormented psyche. The song is a candid portrayal of the artists' struggles, offering a glimpse into the less glamorous side of their lives.
