Midwxst Riddle

Riddle, the first song to be scheduled for release off of a potential new project from Wxst, was first teased with an image on Instagram posted to his story on January 9th, showing three track titles; riddle being one of them.
The song was then next teased in a series of Instagram posts, with the first being on January 26th, showing a video message starting with “Pay attention, I have something for you”, before cutting to Morse Code, deciphering to “PAY ATTENTION E3EREAL”, and a normal message stating “ri?dle”. Fans were left speculating until the second post followed on January 27th. This one began with the message “Loading… Loading… I have a ri?dle for you, with a prize. Check ur DMs”. This was an error, and the message actually required you to check his Instagram story, where the third message was posted, with more Morse Code, deciphering to “PAY ATTENTION @E3EREAL3”, leading to a Twitter account with a link to his website. Fans then had to solve three passwords, titled “Track 5”, “Name”, and “Home”, respectively, before being brought to a page with a pre-save link showing a release scheduled for February 2nd, as well as a minute-long chopped and screwed snippet. After a couple of hours, Wxst also posted this to his Instagram story in an attempt to help fans solve the riddle quicker.
The song was teased once again on January 31st, 2 days before the song was released.

Lyrics

[Intro]
La-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm
[Verse 1]
It’s hard but I can understand
Think I’m sinking in the sand
All my fingers started shaking, got some tremors in my hand
I won’t take another chance
I won’t fall into your trance
I don’t wanna see your face, near me ever damn again, no
Thoughts run through my brain every single night
Always happens, don’t know why I seem to try
Might succumb, at this point I don’t wanna fight
Running outta words I can say, wish that I could write
[Chorus]
I’ve been stuck in the middle
I don’t wanna hear your lies, know that you gon’ belittle
You been tearin’ me apart baby, little by little
I don’t even wanna start tryna solve all your riddles
Oh, it happens every damn day
Sittin’ down with all my memories, I watch them decay
I don’t wanna hеar you speak, ’cause I know you will not change
So don’t say you еver knew me, ’cause you don’t know my pain

[Verse 2]
I don’t wanna see your face, I don’t want to hear you call
I don’t wanna run into you when I’m walkin’ through the hall
I just wish that you could disappear, don’t wan’ see you at all
I could never seem to stop anything, even if I stalled
And I tried, tried, tried, but I always seem to fail
Watch you lie, lie, lie your life away and tell your tales
Wanna run, run, run, run away and leave no trail
Watched the tears slowly fall upon my newly painted nails
Say I’m fine, so you don’t worry
Gotta get away, in a hurry
Vision hazy, gettin’ blurry
Either way, I gotta scurry
Never knew that you would hurt me
When we started flirtin’
Didn’t know for certain
It’s time to close the curtains
[Chorus]
I’ve been stuck in the middle
I don’t wanna hear your lies, know that you gon’ belittle
You been tearin’ me apart baby, little by little
I don’t even wanna start tryna solve all your riddles
Oh, it happens every damn day
Sittin’ down with all my memories, I watch them decay
I don’t wanna hear you speak, ’cause I know you will not change
So don’t say you ever knew me, ’cause you don’t know my pain
