i’m in love with this song at the moment; and i’ve been thinking a lot about the lyrics— i feel the most obvious meaning is drugs/ or substance abuse. the reference to buying something at the beginning, “paradise waiting in my drawer”, “all you gotta do is let me lock this door”, “something special about you girl makes me wanna break up my world” - etc. another thing i find is that you can substitute the substance abuse with any king of addiction i feel. however, i also think the lyrics could be alluding to suicide.the whole album there’s a lot of references to suicide and the ‘paradise’ in the “i don’t have to deal with this shit anymore. i got paradise waiting in my drawer” line is most likely referencing heaven, and personally i believe it’s more common that people store guns in their drawer- like saying that an easy way to go is just by sh0oting himself. also the whole “Call you on the phone and I know you know Call you on the phone You just tell me not to go Baby I don't wanna be alone anymore All you gotta do is let me lock this door” part is like someone reaching out and trying to prevent the narrator from committing, but the narrator isn’t as hopeful and believes it’s just as easy as finding a way to escape and commit anyway. i really love alex g.
