About This Track

The opening verse sets a tone of romantic confusion and isolation, Ecco2k singing about falling for someone whilst trapped in a state of self-enclosure. The refrain turns on the image of starring and crossing eyes, a gesture of vulnerability or perhaps dissociation, paired with references to hydrogen peroxide and oxidising silver. The chorus introduces ketamine obliquely through the repeated line 'Double K crystals kiss my nose', the drug use folded into a litany of cold detachment and material excess. The second verse shifts register, Ecco2k adopting a voice of fragility and fracture. He asks for calcium, invoking the brittle feeling of bones that might break, and compares himself to Marilyn Monroe in a moment that feels both glamorous and terminal. The production, handled by Whitearmor, keeps the arrangement spare, allowing the vocal to carry the weight of longing and chemical escape. Released on the album 'E' in November 2019, 'Calcium' stands as one of the more direct emotional statements in Ecco2k's catalogue, the experimental impulses of the project tempered here by a clearer melodic line and a lyric that names its desperation plainly.

"Calcium" is a track by Ecco2k, from the album E, released 27th November 2019. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 1 article about Ecco2k.

Lyrics

Calcium

[Verse 1]

Think I fell for someone, oh, what's going on?

I'm still covered in Dry g'LOSS and I can't take it off

Oh, and it's just me and myself, just the two of us

Spend some time alone with you now, you're my only one

I've got a thing for you, a thing for you?

I think of you, am I going crazy?

A thing for you, a thing for you

A thing- (Don't take me back again, don't take me back again)

[Refrain]

It's so hard to hide but so easy to find

(Lost my shine, I star and cross my eyes)

And my heart is blind, I star and cross my eyes

(Lost my shine, I star and cross my eyes)

Hydrogen peroxide, lime and ice

(Lost my shine, I star and cross my eyes)

Silver lights, I let it oxidize (Oxidize)

[Chorus]

I've been rolling oxen bone

Double K crystals kiss my nose

Double K crystals kiss my nose

Double K crystals kiss my nose

Baby, kiss me through the phone

Ecco2k, I lost all hope

Smoking on dope, I feel so cold

Smoking on dope, I feel so cold

Live on islands made of stone

Rob that nigga for his coat

Twenty-five thousand on Silk Road

Shine, shine, shine, shine, shine, that glow

Obviously silver, not no gold

Tried to keep up and he went broke

Steaming hot, they don't want no smoke

2g K, went to the hole

[Post-Chorus]

And my heart is fine, I star and cross my eyes

Can never let you cross my mind

Oh, I try, it happens all the time (I'm not afraid of anything)

And my heart is blind, I star and cross my eyes

Can never let you cross my mind

Oh, I try, it happens all the time

[Verse 2]

Oh, I'm unraveling, and I’m panicking

Feel like I'm paper-thin, and now I'm tearing

Help me please, give me calcium, I think I'm fracturing

I need bandaging, don't take me back again

I feel like Marilyn, but I'm not acting again

This might be the end, I think it might be

I'm seeing evil men, am I imagining them?

I think I might be

[Chorus]

I've been rolling oxen bone

Double K crystals kiss my nose

Double K crystals kiss my nose

Double K crystals kiss my nose

Baby, kiss me through the phone

Ecco2k, I lost all hope

Smoking on dope, I feel so cold

Smoking on dope, I feel so cold

Live on islands made of stone

Rob that nigga for his coat

Twenty-five thousand on Silk Road

Shine, shine, shine, shine, shine, that glow

Obviously silver, not no gold

Tried to keep up and he went broke

Steaming hot, they don't want no smoke

2g K, went to the hole

[Bridge]

(Lost my shine, I star and cross my eyes)

Double K crystals kiss my nose

(Lost my shine, I star and cross my eyes)

Ecco2k, I lost all hope

(Lost my shine, I star and cross my eyes)

Live on islands made of stone

(Lost my shine, I star and cross my eyes)

Twenty-five thousand on Silk Road

[Outro]

Double K crystals kiss my nose

Double K crystals kiss my nose

Double K crystals kiss my nose

Double K crystals kiss my nose

Double K crystals kiss my nose

Double K crystals kiss my nose

Double K crystals kiss my nose

Double K crystals kiss my nose

Double K crystals kiss my nose

Double K crystals kiss my nose

Double K crystals kiss my nose

Double K crystals kiss my nose

Double K crystals kiss my nose

Double K crystals kiss my nose

Double K crystals kiss my nose

Double K crystals kiss my nose

I feel like I'm flying and sinking at the same time

Like I'm being pulled from below and from above (True friend)

In every direction, at once
