In the song «Skin», - Zak sings about an unnamed ex-partner, describing them as «a blade to my old tattoos», - to «draw blood between us». Brianna had a tattoo from the song «28», - so fans believe that «Skin» refers to the podcaster.
«I run a blade across my skin / And I’ll never touch yours again», - he sings in one of the verses. «How are tattoos perceived on your skin? Does your high morality ever penetrate inside? Do you love people only to win when it’s all over?»
Zak also accuses his ex-girlfriend of «talking badly» about «all» their friends.
«Do you still talk badly about all your friends? / You need to take this on yourself this time, being sober», - he sings in another part of the song.
«Plastic Cigarette» is a reminiscence of meeting a «mean» person from Queens, New York, where Zak and Brianna began their relationship in June 2023 when she attended his concert at Forest Hills Stadium in New York.
«You were collecting shells on the bay shore, you know I was a shell before», - Zak sings in one of the verses. «Deep in the hands of another / My brother told me to leave, but I didn’t believe in the evil lurking in some people you meet in Queens»
