I really love the lyrics and I relate to most of them. Over the next few songs Mac boasts this lifestyle. He drops lines like “I’m too high, you can’t reach me with the cell phone, No goodbyes, No hellos”, “You don’t want this life I live, You’d rather have a wife and kids.” and “…To everyone who sell me drugs, Don’t mix it with that -–, I’m hoping not to join the twenty seven club.” All these lines, especially the last shows that Mac believes he is on top of the world and is riding his highs unconcerned about the consequences. He expresses this decision a lot more throughout the song. His expression of this state of mind shows that he is deciding to embrace the wild lifestyle and accepting the clear end result of it. He begins his verse with the lines “We inbetween heaven and hell, - a 9 to 5, I’d rather end up dead or in jail”. This idea leads him into the next song, “Brand Name”. This line shows that he is also deciding to forget about forgiveness at the moment and do what he wants while he’s still alive. Later in the song he says “…These doors will close, and people change.”. From this you can hear his conflicting points of views.
In the song, He drops the line “…Didn’t mean to cause you pain, I just needed to escape, Ain’t saying that I’m sober, I’m just in a better place…”. As mentioned earlier, Mac is an addict and in this song he sounds as if he is trying to find a balance between asking for forgiveness from his loved ones and rationalizing his addiction. Starting off, Mac Miller sets “Doors” as the first track.
