That Just Isn’t Empirically Possible

The song 'That Just Isn’t Empirically Possible' by $uicideBoy$ delves into themes of loneliness, mental struggles, and the darker aspects of fame and personal demons. The $uicideBoy$ are known for their raw and gritty portrayal of mental health issues, substance abuse, and existential angst, often set to aggressive beats and a dark aesthetic that is characteristic of their music style, which blends elements of rap with the harshness of punk and metal influences.

The opening lines, spoken by the persona 'Lord of Loneliness,' suggest a sense of isolation that comes with success ('It's lonely at the top'). The 'crown' symbolizes the weight of being in a position of power or fame, which has become a burden ('starting to give me these legions'). The advice to 'stay solo' and the mention of being surrounded by demons could be a metaphor for the internal battles one faces, such as depression or anxiety, which are exacerbated by keeping secrets and personal issues hidden ('feeding them all of my secrets').

The second verse, by 'Yung Mane,' introduces substance abuse as a coping mechanism ('Percocet, Roxycodone, with some Xanax'). The mention of being 'elevated to another dimension' and having a 'limp in my strut' suggests a disconnection from reality and a struggle with self-destructive behavior. The lyrics also touch on themes of self-identity and the embrace of a darker persona ('Crazy little demon'), as well as a sense of fatalism and commitment to their group's ethos ('Dollar sign, B, and it's still F-T-P, fucking G-R-E-Y 'til I R-I-P').
