    that Freddy Mercury bit is really nice. He says, "I'm heavy, Mercury, I am Freddy."
    So he's heavy, bc he's a badass, then Mercury, as an element, is a heavy metal, and is the most toxic of the heavy metals. So it will make you extremely Ill, and then he puts a bow on it with the Freddy Mercury reference. 🤘

      Also, he'd also earlier said he was Freddie Krueger, so it also refers back to that, as there are other Krueger references through the song (4,5,6 spit a crucifix etc).

      It's 'I'm heavy, on Mercury, I'm Freddy.' Which adds a bit more to the meaning, I think. Mercury is the smallest planet, and he's heavy even in it's weak gravity. Also, mercury, heavy metal, and Mercury, Freddy. Fucking brilliant multilayered wordplay.

    The iron lung was a machine that helped someone breathe when their lungs failed or had a disease. He's saying he's blessed with a silver tongue (clever bars) but he's literally sick (with Lyme disease).

      Yes iron lungs were hyperbaric chambers that kept people with tuberculosis alive. They used to call it “ the consumption “ Tuberculosis.” Took over 1.7 million lives.

    His lyrical use of double entendres is amazing, "Ready I'm heavy, I’m Mercury, I am Freddy,..." Mercury being a HEAVY metal, Freddy Mercury....😵‍💫 C'MON! Even the title is a double entendre - "Illest of our Time". He's firing warning shots in this one and making sure everyone takes notice. Nice to see him showing some attitude and confidence, being a little braggadocious. I Love it.
    He did a live stream right after the video dropped yesterday (on Twitch), and to see his genuine, emotional reaction to how many reaction channels had already posted videos within an hour of the songs release, was truly heartwarming. This young man deserves every bit of love , support, and success he's finally getting. I couldn't be happier for him, especially for someone so talented, so driven, and without question, someone who has been forged through fire. Love this kid! Fan for life.

    He refers to the Swanton Bomb in a few tracks. The first time he met one of his best friends, Joe, he did a swanton bomb on the ground and Ren was shocked but he popped back up grinning. Joe is the friend who committed suicide when they were young and his death had a very serious impact on Ren as it would of course. The Suic*de track honestly is a work of art

    "Illest of our time" unofficial lyrics.... yeah I'm that sad I spent an hour going over & over typing them out for you
    1, 2 , 3,
    spitting bullets on the beat,
    I’m a sick little puppy
    who get’s lucky when he speaks,
    Blessed with a silver tongue
    Chest with an Iron Lung,
    Extra Terrestrial,
    Tentacles, Alien,
    Psychopathic tendencies,
    A pathologic entity,
    If everything is set in stone,
    then this is how it’s meant to be,
    Elementary dear Watson,
    you might find,
    Yourself inside the mind
    of the illest of our time,
    Get it boppin
    hot rockin,
    I’m Freddy Kruger,
    I’m choppin,
    I turn it up to (elle-heaven) 11,
    The demigorgon of oppin,
    The strangest thing
    I’m the boss when,
    the danger lingers,
    I’m plotting,
    Sweet like a spoonful of sugar,
    Because I’m Mary like Poppins,
    The double barrell is cocking,
    A shotgun shell to the noggin (head)
    I’m crafting catchy bronchitis,
    You’re in your funeral coffin/coughin,
    No stopping, blocking me,
    not when I pick the world up, I’m squatting,
    And when I take from the rich,
    I’m in your hood & I’m Robin/Robbing
    4, 5, 6,
    Better Crucifix/Cruise a fix,
    666 flow,
    Crucify a Catholic,
    Maverick,
    anti-hero, villain or protagonist,
    words are kind of muffled,
    when you’re sucking on my massive ughhh…
    Who’s the fucking illest,
    who’s the realist, who’s the baddest kid?
    call the police, on this beat
    before I damage it.
    A kiddie called Screech
    on the streets, I’m a masochist,
    so far from reach,
    I’m the type to kill a pacifist,
    Catalyst? Or Chemical Combustion?
    I’m the analyst,
    Of metaphors and similes and synonyms,
    An alchemist,
    Evangelist,
    Spread the words I seek,
    like they’re cancerous,
    Pragmatist,
    I think before I speak,
    Then I answer it,
    Pull up, pull up, pull up to the place,
    when I pull it bang, my bullet sang,
    it’s shot right into space,
    Music for the hooligans,
    let loose on the estate,
    Call the police & the riot vans,
    the people wanna play, ay..
    Freedom now,
    has lost all meaning how,
    can we all be free,
    in the hierarchy breeding ground,
    The poor get poorer while,
    The rich get rich in style,
    I’ll be a heretic,
    kill a king, take his crown,
    Top of the throne,
    top of the kingdom I own,
    top of the streets that I roam,
    Top of the dome, spitting for Britain I’ve shown,
    Bars a cellular phone,
    Hyping,
    like Tyson,
    an Icon,
    roll twice and
    Left righting,
    I’m striking,
    like I’m biting,
    Like a python,
    Ready, I’m heavy,
    I’m mercury, I am Freddie,
    So eat my words, fill your belly,
    like alphabetty spaghetti,
    I am a rap star,
    don’t believe me? the facts are,
    I spit fast like a Nascar,
    Don’t believe me? Then fuck yaaah, I-
    -Shit…
    I don’t feel so well,
    I don’t feel so well,
    I don’t feel so well,
    call a medic for myself.
    I don’t feel so hot my brother,
    aching shaking, stop, then stutter,
    things go wrong, hit by King Kong,
    a Swanton Bomb like Hardy Brothers,
    I don’t feel so fresh my bro,
    things look blurry, speaking slow,
    Heading Hong Kong, Wonton Soup is,
    what I have for brains I know-
    -That I, want to spread these tattered wings-
    and hold them high,
    banished from the Heavens,
    but I’m knocking on the sky,
    Living with depression
    is a blessin in disguise,
    never second guessing
    intuition, getting wise,
    Want (one to) to sink into the pupil of my eye,
    Travel to the corner of my cornea & mind,
    Look for all the answers that I never seem to find,
    Till then, I guess I’m still the “Illest of our time”
