The song is about a man (the protagonist) who sees death as an inevitable part of life and wants to stay high in order to deal with it. He talks about living in a dangerous city where people with his body type die often. He struggles with his mental health and feels like he may have seen too many murders, but he keeps his finger on the trigger and doesn't trust his friends because they may be phonies.
