Cutthroat (Single)
Cutthroat is a cold, melodic boom bap single from DempseyRollBoy, produced by Musicality and mixed by Dacota G. The track has earned over 350,000 streams and connects deeply with listeners because of its haunting blend of autotuned melodies and heavy emotional themes.
The song explores feeling unnoticed, overwhelmed, and mentally exhausted while trying to hold onto hope in the middle of darkness.

The “cutthroat” refrain highlights the intensity of the emotions he’s fighting through, creating a powerful contrast against the icy, minimal production.

Ladada, dada, da, da
Ladada, dada, da, da
Ladada, dada, da, da
Ladada, dada, da
Cutthroat, I don’t wanna die too young
But i’m feelin’ weak, as if I might give up
Sorry but the pressure of this life’s too much
Earth will forget me as soon as I lose touch
No one ever notices
A shadow in the background
No one pays attention to me
Look at where i’m at now
Stuck inside my head
I’m being followed by black clouds
I can’t get away from ‘em
I feel like i’m not real, ‘cause i’m
Just another face
I’m never noticed, oh no
Save me
Just another face
I’m down and hopeless, oh no
Save me
Don’t nobody notice me
I’m livin’ in the silence
I been through a lot
But pressure turns you to a diamond
I know i’m not perfect
Nobody is but i’m tryin’
I could see tomorrow
Disappear on the horizon
I feel so depressed
I’m alone
Full of these emotions
I don’t show
Smokin’ on that strong
I’m seeing slow
What happens when it’s over?
We don’t know
I been flyin’ solo
I been ridin’ by myself
It’s just me and my shadow
It’s just me and nobody else
I been takin’ medication
But none of it seems to help
Self reflection drove me crazy
It fucked up my mental health
You could
Find me where the noose hangs
Fuck I need a new brain
At least I reduced pain
It’s already too late
I won’t see a new day
Dyin’ under blue rain
Didn’t wanna lose faith
But I did already ‘cause i’m
Just another face
I’m never noticed, oh no
Save me
Just another face
I’m down and hopeless, oh no
Save me
I don’t wanna live
I got no reason to keep goin’
I can’t overcome
All the things that i’m undergoin’
Trapped inside my head
My emotions are overflowin’
Trapped inside my head
My emotions are overflowin’
I’m alone
On my own
Nowhere to go
Is this real? I don’t know
Cutthroat, cutthroat
Cutthroat, cutthroat
