fun fact: quadeca has stated this song is about a ghost “settling” into his old family home after his death and wanting so desperately to be seen or noticed that he leaks carbon monoxide into the house, carbon monoxide is known to cause hallucinations, leading people to believe that there houses are haunted. danny brown is rapping as carbon monoxide.
Just to add, it seems like dead quadeca out of his desperation released the carbon monoxide just so his mom could see him not even thinking about if it would kill her in the process.
That explains why Danny says "No you can't see me but when you smell me, we going off on a deep sleep" Like carbon monoxide, you can't see it, but you can smell it, and it's pretty deadly Also it sounds like the carbon monoxide is slowly killing whoever is in the house (in this case, Quadeca's mom, because he wants to be seen so badly that he accidentally leaks carbon monoxide)
Danny SNAPPED. First time i've listened to Quad since 'Uh Huh' and god damn, he is good. Crazy it's been 5 years. Went from a teenager to an adult since then....
Lyrics: First things first, can we get shit straight? I've been alone since you left me in your wake I've been alone to reflect on my mistakes I've been alone since when When you offered me your forgiveness I was begging you not to breathe in Tried to yell at you from a distance Could you tell when you let me seep in? Put my feet on the floor Over each, every board Heard a creak, turning weak Turn the hеat up some more It was spreading, you said, "It's housе settling" It's nothing, nothing, a howl in the wind Rationalize me away if it helps Home sweet home, I can't stay nowhere else I cuddled up in the vase on the shelf Ashes, ashes, a place to myself Anything, give me anything Can't let you be, house settling Cracks in the wall, frames that hide it all Dents in the rug, aging cytosol Breathe in the air, laced with my withdrawals Taken by a god, breaking my alarms Dead to me Dead to me Let you breathe House settling Lock out the pity, you been dizzy, you been tired You been busy, keep yourself busy, let the paint dry I feel guilty, I feel guilty, I can't say why Words you see through the CO Breaks my heart, but I'll give it a try Dead to me (What else am I supposed to do?) Dead to me (Didn't want to cause pain to you) Let you breathe (Just make my presence known) House settling (Until it's set in stone) No, you can't see me, but when you smell me We going off on a deep sleep (Yeah) When you inhale me, no, you won't feel me We, we going down six feet (Yeah) Creep, creep through the crack in the walls Was never there when you called Now you trapped in that fog (That fog) Now you're trapped in that fog Ain't tryna gas you out, but right now, that's what's happening No capping Fresh out the stove, it's all over Now it's closed caskets You dead to me, so rest in peace When you run into a nigga like me, make it real hard to breathe Now you're stuck and can't leave (Shit) Can't touch or feel me, but when you're near me Fill up your chest and your eyes get teary Say your peace, say no more grief It's over now, your soul will sleep No more pain, don't hurt no more Lost everything you working for But life goes on, just not with you Life goes on, just not with you I'm the air you breathe, now get away from me Kill everything, no place for me Said no one's safe when I touch your face I'ma leave it cold, just how it go You dead to me, just go to sleep You're dead to me, say "R.I.P." You're dead to me, just go to sleep You're dead to me, say "R.I.P." Can't let you be House settling

Fuck man this is good shit! I came here from the Danny Brown Show to hear this. You got a new fan today. Also Danny is the man!
same same
When danny is praising Quadeca he MEANS IT
I just wanna know how Danny brown heard this instrumental and came up with the flow that he did.. unreal!
That's what I'm sayin. Danny is so underrated imo
This song gives me goosebumps. Hope that's all it is.
Lyrics:
First things first, can we get shit straight?
I've been alone since you left me in your wake
I've been alone to reflect on my mistakes
I've been alone since when
When you offered me your forgiveness
I was begging you not to breathe in
Tried to yell at you from a distance
Could you tell when you let me seep in?
Put my feet on the floor
Over each, every board
Heard a creak, turning weak
Turn the hеat up some more
It was spreading, you said, "It's housе settling"
It's nothing, nothing, a howl in the wind
Rationalize me away if it helps
Home sweet home, I can't stay nowhere else
I cuddled up in the vase on the shelf
Ashes, ashes, a place to myself
Anything, give me anything
Can't let you be, house settling
Cracks in the wall, frames that hide it all
Dents in the rug, aging cytosol
Breathe in the air, laced with my withdrawals
Taken by a god, breaking my alarms
Dead to me
Dead to me
Let you breathe
House settling
Lock out the pity, you been dizzy, you been tired
You been busy, keep yourself busy, let the paint dry
I feel guilty, I feel guilty, I can't say why
Words you see through the CO
Breaks my heart, but I'll give it a try
Dead to me (What else am I supposed to do?)
Dead to me (Didn't want to cause pain to you)
Let you breathe (Just make my presence known)
House settling (Until it's set in stone)
No, you can't see me, but when you smell me
We going off on a deep sleep (Yeah)
When you inhale me, no, you won't feel me
We, we going down six feet (Yeah)
Creep, creep through the crack in the walls
Was never there when you called
Now you trapped in that fog (That fog)
Now you're trapped in that fog
Ain't tryna gas you out, but right now, that's what's happening
No capping
Fresh out the stove, it's all over
Now it's closed caskets
You dead to me, so rest in peace
When you run into a nigga like me, make it real hard to breathe
Now you're stuck and can't leave (Shit)
Can't touch or feel me, but when you're near me
Fill up your chest and your eyes get teary
Say your peace, say no more grief
It's over now, your soul will sleep
No more pain, don't hurt no more
Lost everything you working for
But life goes on, just not with you
Life goes on, just not with you
I'm the air you breathe, now get away from me
Kill everything, no place for me
Said no one's safe when I touch your face
I'ma leave it cold, just how it go
You dead to me, just go to sleep
You're dead to me, say "R.I.P."
You're dead to me, just go to sleep
You're dead to me, say "R.I.P."
Can't let you be
House settling
