About

Genius Annotation

“Slits” is a story about unrequited/ill-fated feelings of love, coupled with feelings of general depression/peculiar excitement over such.

In general, the song is a metaphor for the action of cutting one’s wrist and the reasoning behind it, and the problem with being attracted to someone/something you shouldn’t be.

The song was originally from an unreleased “debut” mixtape entitled “My 1st Mixtape”. It is not Melvin Burch’s first mixtape, by any means. It is meant to be regarded as such, however, once it is released.

The original song that is being rapped over is Baths' “Lovely Bloodflow”.

(Disclaimer: I’ve never cut my wrists, and I don’t suggest you do either.)
