cross (feat. Lil Peep)

The song 'cross' by $uicideBoy$ featuring Lil Peep is a haunting and intense track that delves into themes of nihilism, self-destruction, and the darker side of life. The lyrics paint a picture of a person who is struggling with inner demons and engaging in reckless behavior as a form of escape. The repeated references to drug use ('I hit the dope two time, take the stress off my mind') suggest a coping mechanism for dealing with stress and the pressures of life. The imagery of being like a ghost and creeping behind indicates a feeling of being disconnected or unseen by the world.

The aggressive and violent language throughout the song ('Bass kickin' like your bitch, kidnap her for kicks') portrays a sense of anger and defiance. The artists use vivid and often disturbing metaphors to express a life lived on the edge, where violence and danger are ever-present. The mention of a 'Grey Beretta' and the act of shooting as a means to confront death ('Rather now than later, 'cause I wanna meet death') reflects a morbid fascination with mortality and a disregard for the consequences of one's actions.

Lil Peep's verse adds another layer to the song, with references to depression and self-harm ('Bump Three-6, while I cut my wrist'). The line 'Peep won't rest 'till I rest in peace' is particularly poignant, considering Lil Peep's untimely death, which was attributed to an accidental drug overdose. The song's overall tone is one of despair and resignation, with the artists expressing a desire to break free from their pain, even if it means embracing their own end.
