Paris

The song 'Paris' by $uicideBoy$ is a raw and intense portrayal of the artists' struggles with their inner demons, societal rejection, and the allure of self-destructive behavior. The lyrics are delivered with a sense of urgency and aggression, characteristic of the horrorcore genre that the group is often associated with. The duo, consisting of Ruby da Cherry and $lick $loth, uses vivid imagery and personal anecdotes to express themes of depression, substance abuse, and a desire to escape reality.

The opening verse by $lick $loth sets a dark tone, with references to violence and a gritty street lifestyle. The 'gold grill gleamin'' and 'hoes problems' suggest a façade of glamour and success, which contrasts with the 'motherfucker out the bottom'—indicating a rise from difficult circumstances. The mention of 'the Grey 5-9' refers to their collective, G*59 Records, and 'real red eyes' could symbolize the fatigue of living a troubled life or the effects of drug use. The 'bodies in fluoride' and 'crucify me' lines evoke a sense of being poisoned by society and a willingness to embrace martyrdom.

Ruby da Cherry's verse continues the theme of transformation from rejection to empowerment, albeit through dark means. He speaks of his past self-harm and how it paradoxically led to his financial gain ('bleed checks'). The 'Snow Leopard on the prowl' metaphor suggests a rare and dangerous beauty, hinting at the unique and menacing nature of his persona. The closing lines, 'Soon I will shed this skin, turn to the devil, Then I'll never reminisce,' imply a final transformation or surrender to his darker impulses, leaving behind any nostalgia for his past life.
