Lake Schatz of Consequence of Sound describes the song as Polo G "shutting out the world and nearly drowning in his own dark thoughts".^[3] Lyrically, the song finds him "muttering sadly" about "assorted bad feelings" such as isolation and betrayal.^[4] He sing-raps: "Snakes in the grass, watch out for rats and all the feline / I cut everybody off, keep hittin' decline / I swear these painkillers got me on the deep vibe / Miss the old days, got me wishin' I could rewind."^[5]

Music video

A music video was released alongside the single and directed by Jordan Wozy. It opens with Polo G putting his phone on "Do Not Disturb" and counting money.^[5]^[6] He is "cooped up in an empty house",^[7] and takes a "solo nighttime drive" as well.^[6]
