[Verse 1]
[Gentle acoustic guitar strums in fingerpicked arpeggios, slow and mournful, 808s hum low with subtle distortion for depth, faint reverb on vocals for ethereal haze]
I lit the blunt, thought it’d save me tonight, (yeah, yeah)
But I’m floatin’ too high, can’t see through the light, (whoa)
Room’s spinnin’ slow, walls closin’ in tight, (damn)
Fuck, I’m lost in my head, no stars in sight.
[Acoustic guitar adds soft hammer-ons, 808s pulse with a slow, heartbeat-like rhythm]
Smoke curls up, like my dreams in a haze, (haze, yeah)
Chasin’ peace, but I’m stuck in a maze, (trapped)
Heart’s racin’ fast, but my soul’s movin’ slow,
Took too many hits, now I don’t even know.
Lost in the clouds, I’m fallin’… fallin’…
[Background synth pad fades in, low and mournful, adding atmospheric weight]
[Pre-Chorus]
[Guitar picks up with slightly sharper strums, 808s thump heavier with a gritty low-end, vocal delay effect kicks in for echoey despair]
I’m too high, man, I’m drownin’ in smoke, (drownin’)
Mind’s a ghost town, my thoughts all choke, (yeah)
Swore this shit would fix me, make me whole, (nah)
But I’m fallin’ apart, losin’ my soul.
Can’t find my way, I’m gone… gone…
[Soft hi-hat clicks join, keeping time with a lo-fi crackle for texture]
[Chorus]
[Acoustic strums intensify with full chords, 808s pulse deep with a booming kick drum, vocals layered with subtle autotune for emo rap sheen]
Too high, too high, I’m slippin’ away, (slippin’)
Clouds in my head, can’t find my way, (no way)
Fuck this high, it’s stealin’ my breath, (fuck)
Lost in the smoke, I’m closer to death.
Too high, too high, ohhh…
[Guitar adds a high-pitched melody line, 808s roll with a slow vibrato effect]
[Verse 2]
[Guitar softens to delicate picking, 808s carry the weight with a pulsating low-end, faint vinyl static in the background for lo-fi vibe]
Eyes bloodshot, starin’ at the ceilin’ fan, (spinnin’)
Tryna find myself, but I don’t know who I am, (who?)
This weed was s’posed to hush all the noise, (shh)
But it’s screamin’ louder, fuckin’ up my poise.
[Acoustic guitar adds a slide note for emotional sting, 808s deepen with a subtle growl]
Memories creep in, ghosts from the past, (ghosts, yeah)
Regrets hit like glass, shatterin’ fast, (crash)
I’m numb but it hurts, yeah, that’s the deal,
Too high to cry, but I’m too damn real.
I’m breakin’ down, I’m lost… lost…
[Soft piano chords fade in, adding a fragile, melancholic layer]
[Pre-Chorus]
[Guitar builds with rhythmic strums, 808s growl with a heavier distortion, vocal reverb intensifies for a drowning effect]
I’m too high, man, I’m drownin’ in smoke, (drownin’)
Mind’s a ghost town, my thoughts all choke, (choke, yeah)
Swore this shit would fix me, make me whole, (nah, nah)
But I’m fallin’ apart, losin’ my soul.
Can’t find my way, I’m gone… gone…
[Sparse snare hits join, echoing like distant memories]
[Chorus]
[Acoustic strums hit hard with aggressive downstrokes, 808s boom with a resonant sub-bass, vocals peak with raw emotion]
Too high
