D-Steez Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Shit, now I know that it's been a long time since I've smiled
Fuck, I'm so miserable
Medication helps me focus on the pain, but I'm still don't help me feel free
I can close my eyes for hours and weeks later still be unsatisfied
With the extent to which my trees have rotted
I know nothing, and what I can remember is only excuses
I know nothing, and what I can remember is only excuses
Excuse me, excuse you, excuse us, excuse this canvas, your wall of art
We're stuck in flight, we need to start, in the end, it's light, the universe
Will excuse us
In the future, we'll still feel high
In the future we'll still feel high

Excuse myself, as I preach, gotta get my health in check, look to god, got the wealthiest space
Damn, float to the sky, don't cloud my vision
Trying to see the sun, like I do Beam
Trying to see the sun, like I do shine
Still glistening
Raised from the dark, seen
But a fucking light don't start, uh, that conversation with the god's like
Need to beam so bright for the past, shit, the future is so dark-deep
Lucky I've got sunlight in my palm nigga
Damn, four, four, tripple three, in this bitch, don't talk like it's time nigga
Damn, Shit, eheheh, haha haha

Turn it up, please
I need my headphones all the way up, when I hear music
Drown me in it, like full one hundred percent
I don't give a shit
Mmm-yeah
Uh, yeah, Don't wanna fight us, don't wanna fight your demons
Don't wanna face your demons
Gonna have to beat your own self, uh, f-former self
Uh, former self, uh, f-former self. Uh, uh, uh, former self
Uh, yeah, I need some help. Uh, somebody please tell me
Who else is out here with the lightsaber, like they had to get the favor
Or the greatness, or the flavor
Robertson's, what's your combination, uh, I don't know, anymore




I don't know anymore, I don't know anymore
Activate

Overall Meaning

The opening lyrics in D-Steez's song, "Activation," convey a sense of deep sadness and dissatisfaction that the singer has been feeling for a long time. The use of profanity and negative self-talk point towards a struggle with mental health. The singer is taking medication, but it only helps to mask the pain, not alleviate it. There is a sense that the singer is lost and uncertain of their own memories and motivations. The repetition of "I know nothing, and what I can remember is only excuses" expresses a deep sense of inadequacy and self-doubt.


As the song progresses, the singer seems to be looking for a way out of this negative cycle. Excuse-making and avoiding one's own demons aren't enough, and the singer acknowledges the need to take responsibility for their own well-being. The repeated refrain, "in the future, we'll still feel high," suggests that the singer is holding onto hope that things will get better. However, the final phrase, "activate," suggests that this will only happen through taking action, rather than simply hoping for a better future.


Overall, "Activation" is a powerful statement about the struggle of dealing with mental health issues and the need to take action in order to move forward.

I prefer music at full volume to immerse myself in it. I do not wish to confront or fight my inner demons but rather defeat them by overcoming my previous self. I feel lost and require assistance from others. Who else wields a lightsaber like they have secured victory, greatness, or satisfaction? I am unsure of myself and my direction, but I must activate nonetheless.
