a lot of e is centered around eccos ketamine use and the experience of getting high of it (like the feeling of being unable to move ur limbs as referenced in AAA powerline) and being addicted to it (like him constantly talking about how much he need it but also how he cant handle it in sugar and diesel). he refers to the drug as "rocks" and "crystals" since crushing ketamine rocks and sniffing them is the way he consumes it (hence the double k crystals kiss my nose in calcium). A lot of people also miss that he also mentions ODing in sugar and diesel, and how he is embarrassed by it in front of his friends who see him as an "experienced drug user". The lyrics are pretty cryptic and confusing at times but most of them is about him exploring his vulnerability and being more honest with himself
@@papasquat08 sorry for old comment pinging or whatever but alot of the lyrics are also related to his experience growing up in sweden as a mixed race person, and feeling alienated because of it(peroxide where he feels stared at and judged, fragile etc)
@@hado2700 @papasquat08 yes exactly, nice addition to the explanation. It explains the whole song "Blue Eyes", as it is a typical characteristic of Swedish people. Moreover, the line "no one left" probably refers to Thaiboy Digital who was deported from Sweden, leaving Ecco as the "only" non Swedish looking person.
Peroxide is about being black in Sweden and the majority of people being white and about how people would judge him or think he is scary "No peroxide, I stay dark" is about him trying to avoid the sun as a kid cause he didnt want his skin to be barker or stand out also peroxide can bleach skin its him coming to terms with being different. Same for blue eyes its about how everyone he knows is white and has blue eyes he feels left out/different than them.
actually "i stay dark" is him just saying he's not gonna use peroxide and he's gonna stay dark skinned, not literally staying in the dark to avoid the sun
Im not really invested into the lyrics but i do listen to few drain songs. I always thought he meant rocks as in just being him kicking rocks, kinda like in own world just playing with actual rocks. i know this is like ultra boomer thing to think about but this really helped me feel his meaning with the song. Thankyou

Theres some references about how it was for him to grow up black in sweden, like 'no peroxide i stay dark' and 'all my friends got blue eyes' because everyone around him is white basically and it makes him feel isolated!
Yep pretty much the meaning of the whole album, isolated "all my friends got blue eyes" and longing to fit in "dip my face in acid" while trying to be himself "no peroxide I stay dark" accepting the situation and moving on (Time)
since the album is thirty minutes long and this video is one hour long, i clicked expecting 30 minutes of quality papa squat reaction. i was not disappointed. great video
AAA Powerline hypnotizes you, freezing you in time. Kind of like how some people explain being high on Ketamine, a drug Ecco2k uses. "Ziptied up can't move my arms," is usually thought to be Ecco referencing how using Ket can impair certain motor functions usually using your arms. The "car" much like the beat is just taking us somewhere in the backseat. We don't know where but it's steady.
Ah! Totally makes sense. I don't know anything about K, so that explains my take on things. Really, it paralyzes your limbs? I gotta go do some reading on it. I don't think I'd like that.
Seeing you appreciate music I LOVE just scratches an itch. Most people in my life are absolutely repulsed by this stuff. Thaiboy digital’s album “tiger” is great too. It reminds me of modern classical music. Good stuff. Edit: and Bladee’s the fool is amazing as well.
AAA Powerline is supposed to represent “k-holing” which is when you do too much ketamine and are stuck in a cycle you can’t break for an uncomfortably long period of time
Wow it's so strange seeing you struggle with AAA Powerline, it was the only song I liked from the album for a long time... and I used to listen to in daily. It's awesome how different our listening experiences can be.
Oh, for sure! That's why I really try to only give my impression of things. I know I'm not "right" at all, just my opinion -- and I love that music can mean different things to different people.
it was always my interpretation of "skin so soft covered in gloss" that he was covered in sweat from drug use before i looked up the genius lyrics, i still like to interpret it that way
on blue eyes, i think he's talking about how everyone is not like him at all since he's mixed race and does not have blue eyes. probably a metaphor but it literally is talking about how he feels alienated maybe
I always interpreted Ecco’s call to “security” to be a tongue in cheek wordplay about wanting to just have some easy solution in moments of feeling insecurity-hence why he sees other people being so “perfect” “I wish that I was perfect/security!!!”.
Hey Papa Squat! Could you please react to DLTZK, they go by the name of "Jane Remover" now. I'd really like you to react to 52 blue mondays, and if you like that, maybe you'll do the whole Teen Week album!
EDIT: USE LYRICS GENIUS FOR YOUR LYRICS THEY HAVE LYRIC EXPLANATIONS AND BACKGROUND INFO, if you are using genius you need to hover the lyrics that're highlighted, we as a community have been working to interpret their lyrics for a long time. genius isn't our best but its good The "Social Media Commentary" on Peroxide is related, it is like what he is thinking in his head during the interactions he is describing in the lyrics of the verse, which is about alienation and racial discimination
Ah, good to know about Genius! That's the site I usually find the lyrics on, but I hadn't realized there was popup info! I usually just open the page and scroll through the lyrics. Now I know!
6:47 I used to be addicted to disaciative drugs and ketamine is in that category and that shid makes you feel like ur not in ur body it's rlly hard to describe but his music does it perfectly Also ur videos are awesome I like to see ppl give different music a chance.
Forgot how cool, and maybe this is just me, but creepy sounding this album is. Somehow missed your Exeter reaction was abt to suggest it watching that next!
please react to the artist yabujin. some good starter songs are baroque, flash Casanova, secret garden 8888, and ionwwaan2go. a good project to listen to is the early works bootleg on TH-cam. very interesting and unique artist that I hope you will enjoy.
i encourage u to read the genius annotations or something like that to provide context bc they hit different if u know ecco talking about ketamine and dysmorphia :)
i wish youd go more into detail with the lyrics especially in peroxide, you can click on some lyrics in genius to see annotations explaining the meaning behind the lyrics
“Blue Eyes” is about Ecco suffering for not fitting in, being a black guy in Sweden, hence why he sings “blue skies” with such violence, he is suffering (a total antithesis to the notion of peace that blue skies bring). His only friend without blue eyes, Thaiboy Digital, was deported from Sweden (hence why “all the rest is gone, they left”, leaving him the only non-white blue eyes dude in his social circle.
"Security" is about him feeling insecure of how other people look beautiful/ perfect. It makes him insecure therefore, he calls for"mental" security to get rid of those thoughts.That's my take on the song.
I may do that at some point, but time is the issue -- and I've never done live reactions. I'll do some digging to find out more! Thanks for the suggestion, you're the first to mention it!
@@papasquat08 itll give you a chance to connect with ur fans n let them jnteract with eachother and you could take song suggestions via chat trust me bro you wont regret it for ya channel 💯
Yep, I had to buy a new cord for my headset, but now I need to get my recording program to work with them. Also, new computer arriving next weekend/week after! Hopefully that will clear up some issues as well!
With blue eyes he’s referring to his friends growing up who for the most are white boys with blue eyes and he’s a black kid who really stands out amongst them.

AAA Powerline is supposed to represent “k-holing” which is when you do too much ketamine and are stuck in a cycle you can’t break for an uncomfortably long period of time
Got it. I read up on K, but it leaves out details like that. Too much medical info and very little practical info!
Hype.. you need to listen to some Thaiboy Digital next. "Legendary Member" "Yin and Yang" and "I'm Fresh" are some of the best from him.
