This song is very much about how I've been feeling about music and the friends and acquaintances I've lost recently.
lyrics
BITTERSWEET
I gave you those black leather gloves, gave you hopes for my masterpiece. Decreased several speeds for my hollowed speech. Tragically, I feel it failed and left me open. So now I’m back with these tainted words, so I can feed you want my opus. Eat up.
(V1)
I call it Giallo Argento, you call it bleeding on instrumentals. I’m the Creature from the Whack Lagoon, if you have to check credentials. Hold up, believe me, cause I’m gonna feed you baby birds. I’m here to mend these broken wings if I don’t stop and pluck them first. Or worse, I’m gonna shake it with my all. Take your nest in two hands so I can simply watch it fall. Like splat! So now I’m buzzing off a coffee, standing on the sidewalk, staring at the concrete. A metaphor for friends and relationships today, there’s only four that I value all the rest can go away, but hey.
Let’s continue on this topic, stick with all the bitterness until I receive blackened optics, or at least, until you write a song about me. Ask if only friend or foe, and how you always truly doubt me.
Outstanding, I guess I’m here to level up. Pull the fear from my pockets, time to sip from all the cups and grails. Straight razored we set sails, keep the calm inside the speech until it’s time to exhale like ahhhh! Mr. Kool is bitter kids, strutting in a stocking cap, tight like I’m fitted lids.
Let’s see, am I burning this on purpose? This is Englewood Colorado. There’s no time to misinterpret, I’m bitter.
(Hook)
There’s no time to fall asleep, so I’ma tell you where the symptoms live. I’ll get you when you speak and now you know why am interested. It’s bittersweet. (2x)
An archly fearless live performer, Extra Kool challenges his audiences with an unwavering stare and a direct and hauntingly
intense vocal delivery. Part modern-day Dadaist, part hip-hop art terrorist, Extra Kool is the essence of truth in advertising.

Plenty of quality here, not just quantity as Time suggests! You'd have to be pretty cynical to not be inspired by these excellent lyrics, but sharing in the excellence is beautifully calm and diverse productions by AwareNess. One of the best albums of 2018. BeagleBay
