This track is unflinching. By personifying the addiction as "Mrs. Fetty" (a stark reference to modern struggles), it creates a narrative villain that is both terrifying and real. The imagery of a "Tree Shade" blocking out the light adds a layer of gothic metaphor to a very modern problem. It’s heavy, it’s real, and it refuses to sugarcoat the destruction of the family unit.
A narrative of finality. The narrator confronts a partner who has been consumed by addiction ("married to the drug"). The lyrics describe the partner as a "friend who's a fiend," a "leech," and a "pumpkin" hollowed out by their choices. It builds from a place of accusation to a powerful bridge of severance, where the narrator finally cuts down the shade to reclaim their own light.
