Joy addresses in a raw and unembellished way the effects of nicotine addiction and the inner conflict of the speaker, who tries to calm his mind through vaping, but is drawn further and further into the vortex of addiction. The lyrics reflect the desperation to find a moment of peace and ‘joy’ to fight one's demons fuelled by the past and current frustration. The irregular time changes in the singing convey a feeling of instability and inner chaos, which causes and reinforces the addiction.
The change between the bridges and choruses reinforces the feeling of insecurity and unstable control. The expression of the ‘monster’ in the song illustrates how addiction manifests itself as a dark, unleashed force that eats away at the speaker from within.

Marble Face captures a raw, intense expression of frustration and inner turmoil, combining a sense of emotional numbness with a desire for change. The song explores the emotional fatigue of navigating through a world that feels overwhelming, detached, and full of superficial distractions, all while reflecting on the weariness of trying to maintain composure in the face of personal struggles.
It deals intensely with feelings of overwhelm and inner resistance. The narrator describes the feeling of alienation - he feels estranged from the world and the people around him, while at the same time being in a constant state of waiting and inner struggle. The repeated reference to ‘marble face’ symbolises a hard, emotional façade that conveys outward strength but is breaking down inside. The song contrasts between the monotonous and expressionless behaviour of the narrator and his inner urge to escape from this trance and find himself again.
