way of sorrows Lyrics
[Intro]
North, North, Northside
Ho-side, ho-
North, Northside, ho-side ho
North, Northside, ho-side ho
[Chorus]
Sick of these motherfuckers saying they gone pop shit
Looking em in they eyes, i can tell the never dropped shit
Walking up on the set, we cut his neck before the shock hit
Out of my mind, I’m psycho, bringing a rifle in the mosh pit
Whatever it is, you not it
Popping on these meds, it help to ease my fucking mind
Stress up in my head, we struggle, but we still gone shine
Got me asking why, me lord? Oh, why, oh why
The devil telling me lies every time I get high
Smoke until the smoke clear
Smoke until the smoke clear
Smoke until the smoke clear
[Verse 1]
Creeping out the mental institution
Drugs i abuse them
I keep switching pills, looking for a new solution
Lungs, yeah, I use them
Guns, yeah, I shoot them
Conjure up my demons one by one and execute them
Looking for a come up as I’m riding in the Chevy
Gripping something deadly, airplane mode up on the celly
He ain’t shooting shit, he can barely hold it steady
Wetto Makavelli im the one that you can’t bury
[Chorus]
Smoke until the smoke clear
Smoke until the smoke clear
Smoke until the smoke clear
Sick of these motherfuckers saying they gone pop shit
Looking em in they eyes, i can tell the never dropped shit
Walking up on the set, we cut his neck before the shock hit
Out of my mind, I’m psycho, bringing a rifle in the mosh pit
Whatever it is, you not it
Popping on these meds, it help to ease my fucking mind
Stress up in my head, we struggle, but we still gone shine
Got me asking why, me lord? Oh, why, oh why
The devil telling me lies every time I get high
way of sorrows Lyrics Meaning
[Intro]
The intro, filled with regional callouts like “Northside,” sets the geographical tone and atmosphere of the track. Scrim emphasizes his roots, establishing a gritty identity tied to his hometown. The repetition of “ho-side” adds a chaotic, mocking rhythm, creating a disorienting, almost ritualistic beginning that mirrors the mental turbulence described throughout the song.
[Chorus]
This section introduces Scrim’s emotional and mental unraveling, laced with threats of violence and expressions of inner torment. He denounces others’ false bravado, asserting his own credibility through chilling metaphors. The line about bringing a rifle into a mosh pit captures the song’s volatile energy—reckless, unpredictable, and dangerous. Drug use is positioned as a coping mechanism for overwhelming stress, with the chorus repeatedly circling back to existential anguish and spiritual conflict. His plea to a higher power juxtaposed with the devil’s lies underscores a battle between hope and despair.
[Verse 1]
Scrim digs deeper into his psychological state, describing himself as having escaped a “mental institution,” a metaphor for his ongoing internal instability. He openly admits to heavy drug use in search of relief, even while acknowledging its futility. Guns and violence become recurring motifs, not just for physical defense, but as expressions of inner aggression. Scrim conjures his demons and “executes” them, symbolizing a personal purge—an attempt to destroy the parts of himself that feed his suffering. His reference to “Wetto Makavelli” signals a fusion of gangster bravado and immortality, rejecting any notion of being silenced or buried.
[Chorus]
The repeated chorus returns with heightened urgency. Each line mirrors the original but lands heavier, carrying the weight of the verse’s revelations. The mantra “smoke until the smoke clear” emphasizes a desire to numb reality until it fades completely, even if temporarily. Again, the conflict between spiritual pleading and drug-fueled despair takes center stage, reinforcing the cyclical trap Scrim finds himself in—seeking clarity through chaos and solace through destruction.
