About This Track

Ecco2k builds 'Peroxide' around a single, repeated scene: the bus stop, where he crushes rocks whilst strangers stare. The song treats this moment as a test of composure, a daily ritual of staying strong under the weight of other people's fear and judgment. The title works as a double meaning, a refusal to lighten or soften himself for comfort. The track's power lies in its directness. Ecco2k names the problem plainly: the way he looks, the way he walks, the assumptions that follow him. He answers with defiance that stops short of aggression, a posture of resigned refusal. The production sits sparse and repetitive, letting the vocals and the mantra of crushing rocks carry the emotional work. There is no resolution here, only the daily commitment to not break under the weight of being watched.

"Peroxide" 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

Peroxide

[Intro]

(True friend)

[Verse 1]

At the bus stop, crushing rocks

(Crush, crush, crush, crush, c-c-crush, crush)

They all stare at me, I don't care at all

(Oh my god, fuck you)

Everywhere I go, they look at me wrong

(What, what the fuck are you looking at?)

Every day go the same, gotta stay strong

(Trust, trust, trust, trust me, it gets so much worse)

[Chorus]

Something feels so wrong (Something feels so wrong)

It's the way I look or the way I walk

Why are you scared of me when I'm not so hard?

No peroxide, I stay dark

"Don't go around him, you might get robbed"

Chop off your body parts (Chop, chop, chop)

Chop his arm off and take his watch

[Bridge]

(I'm not afraid of anything)

Crush, crush, crush, crush

Crush, crush, crush, crush

At the bus stop, I be crushin' rocks

They all stare at me, I don't care at all

Crush, crush, crush, crush

Crush, crush, crush, crush

Crush, crush, crush, crush

Crush, crush, crush, crush

(True friend)

[Verse 2]

At the bus stop, crushing rocks

(Crush, crush, crush, crush, c-c-crush, crush)

They all stare at me, I don't care at all

(Oh my god, fuck you)

Everywhere I go, they look at me wrong

(What, what the fuck are you looking at?)

Every day go the same, gotta stay strong

(Trust, trust, trust, trust me, it gets so much worse)

[Chorus]

Something feels so wrong (Something feels so wrong)

It's the way I look or the way I walk

Why are you scared of me when I'm not so hard?

No peroxide, I stay dark

"Don't go around him, you might get robbed"

Chop off your body parts (Chop, chop, chop)

Chop his arm off and take his watch

[Outro]

At the bus stop, I be crushin' rocks

They all stare at me, I don't care at all

(Crush, crush, crush, crush, c-c-crush, crush)

(I'm not afraid of anything)

(True friend)
