Lyrics
[INTRO] Yo You ever be halfway through a cave…
No Potions
No Escape Rope
One Pokémon alive
And suddenly life gets philosophical?
Yeah
That’s this song
[VERSE 1] Ran outta Repels in the darkest cave
Every five steps another Zubat in my face
I’m exhausted
Mentally cooked
Got one Revive and a team built horribly wrong from the jump
Thought I was the chosen one honestly
Now I’m getting psychologically bullied by geology
Hiker dude blocked the whole pathway
Rock-type Pokémon shaped like unpaid backpay
I keep hearing:
“Trainer spotted!”
Brother leave me alone
My Charmeleon fighting for his life and emotional growth
No Flash move
Screen pitch black
I been walking in circles for like forty-five tracks
Found one ladder
Thought I escaped
Took two more steps
Accidentally met fate
[PRE-HOOK] And that’s life though
Random encounters constantly
Trying to level up while everything bothering me
I thought becoming great would happen naturally
Nobody said adulthood basically Mt. Moon anxiety
[HOOK] Ran outta Repels
Now everything touching me
Problems appearing every single step uncomfortably
Ran outta Repels
No peace of mind
Everywhere I go got another battle waiting in line
I need space
I need healing
I need one calm route without existential feelings
Ran outta Repels
Now I see clearly
Maybe the wild stuff was inside me severely
[VERSE 2] PokéCenter lady know me by name now
Walk inside stressed:
“Yeah… rough cave huh?”
I’m spending money like a rich Champion
Reality:
I got twelve dollars and six Antidotes damaged
My rival called mid-breakdown talking reckless:
“Already got seven badges”
Brother I’m fighting for breakfast
Even the NPCs judging me lately
One child said:
“Your Pokémon look exhausted and maybe unsafe G”
That hurt honestly
Cause he right
My whole team hanging on spiritually by one HP light
I threw a Poké Ball at success
It broke immediately
Now I’m sitting in Lavender Town eating noodles emotionally
And I still keep going somehow
Even after losing to twins with matching Slowpokes downtown
[HOOK] Ran outta Repels
Everything finding me
Stress, regret, wild bats and bad anxiety
Ran outta Repels
Can’t avoid fights
Whole journey feel like walking through tall grass at night
I need luck
Or direction
Or at minimum a better team selection
Ran outta Repels
Still moving clearly
Cause maybe being lost the whole point theoretically
[OUTRO] You know what’s crazy?
The cave probably wasn’t even that long
I just panicked the whole time
… Need another Repel emotionally
[EXTENDED OUTRO — Spoken] You ever notice caves in Pokémon never make sense?
Like structurally?
Who built ladders in here?
Why are children living underground?
Why every hiker built like he wrestles Machokes recreationally?
None of it logical
But you keep walking anyway
Cause eventually…
there’s usually light at the end somewhere
Unless you accidentally circle back to the entrance
Which happened to me twice
Actually three times
“OH COME ON, BRO—”
